The Kenny Everett Christmas Show (1981)
This is Kenny Everett's first show for the BBC and in it he will be doing several things we're not allowed to talk about and meeting several people we're not at liberty to divulge. The whole show is full of fantastic ingredients too numerous to describe. Suffice it to say everything will be completely original in as much as it's never been done before... on the BBC. Join Kenny and the cast of thousands for the experience of a lifetime. Or, on the other hand, watch this show.

I have been asked to tell you a bit about tonight's Kenny Everett Television Show. Well, what can I say ? It's a show that could change and illuminate our lives and yet, in its sheer insignificance, demands to be ignored. A show that asks the questions we all long to ask and yet makes no attempt to tell us who the guests are. Suffice to say the show tonight is about a half an hour.

Reg Prescott (DIY expert) writes: 'Hello viewers! I've just perfected the recipe for the ultimate funny TV show.

Add this to the mixing bowl containing Marillion and blend firmly together until it begins to bubble. Adjust your - er - seasonings, add a splash of Mrs Mirth and, being careful not to burn yourself on the comedy oven, bake for 30 minutes and turn out on to the Lionel Blair rack. There you have it - your very own Cuddly Ken TV Show!' Join Reg, Banzai Davlo, the Bronte Sisters and Queen Victoria for another fab show!
