- Bumper Christmas special! A selection of promos and continuity - lots of big films and Mike Yarwood. Love the quick zooms on the logo on the BBC2 promo!
Everything was better back then. Christmas was much more Christmassy. Everything stopped for Christmas and really up until new year people didn’t go anywhere. It was a proper holiday and a proper Christmas. Modern technology and the modern world has given so much but taken a hell of a lot more.
Great memories of my childhood come flooding back,....I remember I got a chopper bike that Christmas,.....rode it to my gran and grandads for Christmas tea,....had jelly and ice cream ,...then munching on my selection box while watching the bond film , The man with the golden gun.....telly at Christmas in these times had a sort of innocent charm that's lost today,...and new films were premiered as a special treat,.......loved these times
I remember excitedly opening my presents on Christmas Day while Kirk Douglas wrestled with the giant octopus. And the TV premiere of Man with the Golden Gun later that evening. Good memories!
lucky you
I was ten at the time and in my last year at junior school. Life was simpler and children weren't forced to become adults overnight. No social media or cyberspace either!
I remember eating my selection box and watching Towering Inferno that Boxing Night.
I have no idea what I got for Xmas, but I remember watching The Towering Inferno & Bugsy Malone that year, cheers for putting this up
Christmas in the 80’s was the best.
I agree with you there Jim it was far better then it is today.
Great stuff. Great memories.
Such variety in entertainment back then, even with only 3 channels to choose from. It's exactly the opposite nowadays - too many channels and never anything worth watching, especially at Christmas. I spend most of my time on You Tube finding old shows and contnuity clips to keep me amused.
Joanne Gray sounds great!
With all of those extra channels today it has caused a fracture in the culture which is what he socialists wanted.
I also do that. Really was the good times.
@@bighands69 bollocks, I've been a socialist all my life and I don't recall wanting to 'fracture culture'.
Maybe first have a word with your capitalist mate Murdoch, you know him behind the satellite TV revolution!
Hi Joanne, Yes was a lot more variety and good old honest light entertainment and to think just on three channels. It added to a much better all round Christmas with my family, today Christmas telly is the polar opposite.
The problem is there are no proper entertainers these days, and everyone has already seen the big film "premier" as it has been on demand for months. Modern times has ruined Christmas tv and that's why nostalgia for the past lingers.
Hi Greg, i agree with you there is not any good entertainers on tv anymore there rubbish today . The days of good light entertainment in the 1970s and 80shas long gone, I do think Christmases back then had far better programs both on the BBC and ITV when i was a kid. Christmas has been ruined now by far too many multiple channels with output and on demand with access to the internet. I think Sky television for one is responsible for it's crap output too many channels with repeats of programs and movies over and over again (although we did have repeats back then on just three channels if course). Tv in general was ruined i think when the digital switch over began from switching off the the old analogue signal to digital. ITV for one in those analogue days was unique back then as we all had our own tv regions up and down the country and they produced there own programmes in there own tv studios, (of course if said tv programme was very popular back sometimes it would be networked to all other ITV regions. Christmas back then always seemed to be a more magical time for me as a kid with me and my parents, i always looked forward to Christmas telly back then, but now i don't, i think Christmas telly is bloody crap!
@@harleyhartley3168 I AM Gen X (born 1970) and certainly had no problem in that respect!
@@angelacooper2661 sorry I don’t know why I was being so silly, think I must have been looking for a fight, have a nice evening x
Great times wood be great if bbc itv bbc 2 chanel 4 and 5 started puting back classic christmas cartoons tv shows films christmas great shows that we all miss
The Telly Savalas film "INSIDE OUT" sounds interesting. No-one has found the hidden gold yet.
I remember trying that card trick.
yay..'Earthquake' is on.
I share fully in your excitement.
0:30 Is he posing for his Radio Times cover? Lol
My auntie MADE my Christmas that year. Few years later she was robbed by a couple of scum bags. I gave her $250 to try and cover things. It's all i had at the time but she was worth it for all those Xmasses.
I was 4 so don't remember much but it looks like a good Christmas.
I remember Christmas opening my presents in the morning xmas day and in the evening a family party were my dad and he’s brothers punched the fuck out of each other 😂😂👍👍
I adored "The Mike Yarwood Show" back in the day, such a shame that the pressure of being at the top made him hit the bottle hard. It seems there were better programmes on when we only had 3 channels!
what do we get now flog it !
Why is the snow going upwards on the BBC promos?
Every film panned and scanned to the hilt!
At times, I remember some films were in Letterbox...i seem to recall it tended to be a point of contention which the viewers preferred.
Even the indents were better... 40 years on and we've got "one.. ness" 🙄
I like that Sparkly "Christmas" they have (next to the snowman)
Yeaaaa Paul Daniels.......NOT
The picture quality is very bad.
hoopenhanger I'll go back in time and record it again.
sdaonline No need for sarcasm, just do better next time, ok?
It is nearly 40 years okd....
“First showing on British television” that was a refreshing thing to hear, right up until the late 1980’s and then Sattelite TV had the movies long before the beeb and ITV.
The second trailer sounds a bit tipsy...
