  Only Fools And Horses were also what Christmas was all about. As time has gone on, interest in terrestrial tv has dwindled. We dont even look at it now, everything we watch is on an app. Havent watch Christmas tv proper for a few years now.

  Sorry to sound demanding but do you happen to have the edition of The Cook Report that aired on that date, It was an investigation into Quack Cancer Doctors but if you don't Have it, that's OK.

  Ahhh....Christmas 96!!! I loved it! Why? I had just left my hideous, low paid job, with the boss who would make Adolph Hitler look friendly! I had been stuck there since I was 17. Almost 9 years! There was nothing wrong with the work, it was the boss and his vile attitude and the low pay. Anywhere else I would have been well paid. So I finally took a step backwards and went to another firm, that paid way more for a lower position. Turned in my notice a week before Christmas and told him to get stuffed and walked. Best Christmas gift ever! I had three weeks of fun, zero stress and peace without worrying about having to go back there. Started my new job in January, got promotion and got married that year in 1997. It was a big upturn for me all starting from that Christmas....

  I was only 9 back then and remember recording Cliffhanger on vhs and watching it Christams day. I was a bit disappointed the swearing and violence was cut out and wished channel 4 had aired it instead lol. I didn't see the uncut version until years later when I got it on blu ray.

  As a 10-year-old kid & a huge ABBA fan at the time, I couldn't wait to watch this on Christmas night. However, although it were a huge coup for the BBC to get ABBA on Mike Yarwood's Christmas show, I couldn't help but notice that they didn't seem very comfortable with the way their appearance was arranged. Still a great show all the same

  The slow decline started at the beginning of the 80s but gathered pace in 1982 when he signed for Thames.... Its since been claimed by Yarwoods agent the BBC Weren't that sorry to see him go..

• 
  @phyd8 ай бұрын

  Hey Duncan. My friend’s Dad was the lead writer for Mike. His move to Thames wasn’t due to a decline in viewers or enthusiasm from the BBC. Thames swooped in with a big budget boost for the show. The Beeb were furious and let it go; but you are right in as much that the transition towards less “variety” shows and the move to alternative comedies was just starting at that time.

  @@phyd excellent comment.. I listened to a Rory Bremner documentary about MY on radio two (it's on YT) And he basically said Thames made MY an offer he couldn't refuse but he claimed the fact Yarwoods final show on the BBC was scheduled on Boxing day 1981 played a part in his decision to leave...the show did change subtlety on Thames. He started to interview guests etc... but with the benefit of hindsight his career would have declined at a slower pace had he stayed on the BBC

  @@phyd Hi, I heard Michael Grade say the main reason for Mike jumping to Thames was the BBC starting to refuse him to have the big Christmas Day slot. In 1981 they moved him to Boxing Day and Billy Cotton refused to agree to him getting any further Christmas Day outings if he remained at the BBC. Thames said they would allow him Christmas Day slot when they controlled networking when Christmas Day landed Mon to Thur, however that was dumped by Thames I was told fairly quickly.

  @@duncanholding7636 He joined Thames in 1982, when Christmas Day fell at the weekend, just like in 1983, so LWT were in control of networking. Come Christmas 1984, his shine had well and truly vanished, and like Morecambe and Wise, never to return. So he was bumped to day before or after Christmas Day. I have the dates his Christmas specials aired = 21st Dec 1982. 27th Dec 1983. Boxing Day 1984 the closest he got to Christmas Day at ITV. 23rd Dec 1985 and his last Christmas show was on 22nd Dec 1986.

  What made Mike the king of the impressionists was that he not only had a great ear for mimicry, an ability to quickly resemble (enough) the person being taken off, especially with a "look" in his quickfire changes, and a good physicality, he was also a decent singer, giving him the edge over rivals. Much missed.
