When Rolf emerged to a group of kids singing “give us a kiss for Christmas” I thought this was some sort of piss take!

“Music for everyone!” Stretching the boundaries of “everyone” there…..

This was 1980! That's 40 years ago now! They couldn't see into the FUTURE with a crystal ball! Unfortunately, as with Sa-vile, nobody knew about Harris at that time!

It is the BBC, quite normal for them

"A seasonal suggestion from Rolf Harris"......"Give us a kiss for Christmas!"....as he stares at an 8 year old girl. And there's us all thinking he was into 2 little boys.

I was 5 days old here...Nice to see that this is probably what my parents were watching in better health and times.

I must be five years younger than you at ten and in my last year at junior school. Less complicated era to grow up in and no social media to intrude!

Lovely bit of Christmas continuity here

The past is a different country. They do things differently there

I remember when we got the radio and tv times and marking what would be a special watch,Kids are spoilt now they basically get xmas tv 24/7.

i was 16 on the 16th December 1980...happy days

We all did no streaming then, the people who had a VCR usually had 2 mercs in the driveway!

I was in hospital on this day, after having my daughter the day before

Back when the BBC news was actually *news*, and not biased journalism and opinion.

Lovely stuff!

How I wish the news could be like this now. Straight into the main story after just a skim of the headlines.

Twice as old as me at that time, because I was 10 and last year junior school. It strikes me that you are addressing your comments heavenwards rather than to fellow humanity!

Val Doonican and the Spinners. I'll bet the pubs were busy that night.

When Rolf Harris was singing "Give Us A Kiss For Christmas", you could see the kids were anything but comfortable being there with him

No you couldn't.

I realise that I’m about 11 years late to the party but the announcer on this clip is Mike Gamble (not Robin Whitting). Not that it’s important in the overall scheme of things I suppose. Lovely clip by the way, really good quality.

Rolf Harris singing give me a kiss for Christmas. NO I'd rather kiss a trantula . Hey Joe get me a trantula 😄

On that date it was Abba star Benny Andersson's 34th birthday.

Makes you want to the video rental shop

rolf at christmas, surrounded by kids singing "give us a kiss for christmas" if only we knew then what we know now eh lolol.

At the end, the start of Solidarity?

Sounds like Ray Moore doing the v/o on the programme trailer

Growing up, I found his voice too frightening as it was so deep and sinister. That's why I couldn't listen to him.

The Rolf Harris ad didn't age well......

This is so different from today's telly-the Spinners at Christmas indeed! 33 years on from 1980, are we any wiser-no, not really thank you!

God what a creepy intro!

I was ten and a half then - last year at junior school. Didn't like Ray Moore's voice because it was so deep, sinister and frightening. I turned the sound off every time he announced programmes!
