    What an impressive sketch to even dare to attempt live, let alone perform it perfectly.

      Surprisingly it's never been lost, thanks to the producer Biddie Baxter. She insisted every episode of Blue Peterr be kept in the archives.
      So whilst so much other stuff was wiped, we are lucky this show was not.

      It's strange because we've become harsher in one way, and softer in another.

      Just like Warren Mitchell was actually being sarcastic with his alf garnett character !
      When I say "gentler times" society had its problems in the 70's but I was getting at the show and many others like it being something the whole family could watch together and laugh.
      I can not think of a single family orientated sitcom today let alone one that doesn't force politics and virtue signaling down our throats !
      Yep, your right about strikes, power cuts, unemployment, unions and the rose tinted glasses of youth but give the 70's with say 5 years either side anytime !
      (When This generation gets older they will probably continue the cycle and complain this decade was the best)😄

    That 11 year old had quite a talent for capturing likenesses, I wonder if he ever developed his skill or gave it up as he got older.
