Edmonds show is pure partridge

Hey Roll VT, do you _ever_ read the comments on your own videos?

Message from the queen....what a lot of pish!

I remember things getting better in around '88 when things began to feel more like the 90's

Hi de Hi was utter pish 😂

12:25 Every single element of this screams 80s. From the hair, the shirt, to the skirt to the chair, the lamp, the picture, the wall, the ornament

Always a shame when you leave the festive season behind! Next year, why not cancel Netflix and Disney Plus in November and restart them in January, so you can replicate the delights of Christmas television live and without streaming!

Very few Brits said “Merry Christmas “ then . Most said “Happy Christmas “. It was noticeable to me coming from Canada in 1975 where “Merry Christmas “ was the norm.

I remember getting excited about the Christmas radio and tv times coming out to see what was on TV ,always Superman and a Bond film

The song at the end is Shining Light by Ash.

What a beautiful tribute at the end.

Jim'll Fix It..😳😬

Cute robot

God I need a Time Machine .

❤❤

I was 12 and remember that Christmas. Am still lucky enough to still have my mum and dad and remember watching a lot of these with them. Indiana Jones was my highlight that year

ask a kid in the 80s the 'magical' part of Christmas TV was the build-up of programmes from the start of December; silly things like Willo the Wisp or Saturday Superstore/Going Live

Hated the Gordon the gopher.utter shite .had to watch it cause my sister's liked CBBC shite memories

The story of Abba on channel 4... In 1987 Abba were just about persona non grata

I was 14. Happy memories of family and friends no longer with is ❤❤❤😢

Great music viewing and and comedy - Only Fools and Horses, Last of the Summer Wine and Jackie Mason.

Blackadders Christmas Carol is excellent!

Omg I remember watching the Agatha Christie while eat my mums Thornstons chocolate selection!

Thanks for posting up this very valuable full interview of George Hersee! I've linked it in the description of my Carole Hersee biography video on my channel.

who is this at 0:33 ? I recognise his face but not seen him since I was a kid lol

BBC and ITV may have been PDF factories, but these were good times, sadly gone forever. Weak people create hard times.

70’s and 80’s christmas’s tv was amazing as was christmas itself and tbh i long to go back to them. From childhood to my twenties it was a fun and exciting. Now my gran, aunt and uncle mum and dad with whom i spent christmas with year after year are gone and 90’s crimbos when i met my hubby until our very last christmas together in 2021 were just as special. He died before crimbo 2022 and now its just me, my grown up son, my sister and nephew. No longer the same even though i try to do it the way my mum did even the tv is dire. Id love a time machine

The Temple of Doom showing mentioned on Xmas day was the first film my Nan God rest her used her video recorder to tape for me. We didn't even have a video but I could watch it after school when she looked after me before my mum got home from work. I could probably still act out that whole film from memory the amount of times I watched it 😂. The rest of the shows I don't really share the majority opinion on that TV was better then. Christmas was really the ONLY time it was decent but apart from maybe a Fools and Horses xmas special the pickings were fairly slim

Might only had 4 channels way back then, but we had least had great tv shows on the channels now, just producing any crap on hundreds of channels ... and main 4 showing shit tv ..

Christmases in the late 80's were an absolute magical time for me as a kid. I felt like I could take on the world and the future was bright. That dull ache of nostalgia isn't so much that we want to go back (yea we would), it is more that we wish it hadn't changed to where we are now. Too many things have changed but sadly not for the better and that's the problem.

Back when the world made sense

And in 2024 bbc wouldn't be saying merry Christmas it'll be happy festive to you

I remember sitting down with christmas dinner watching temple of doom it was the afternoon movie after the queens speech good memories

Same phone num as swap shop

I'm trying to locate the year that it all turned 'upside down' for want of a more explanatory word. How about 1995 or 1996...any other suggestions? A bit later maybe.

3:50 disgusting

The good old days when things were done properly

When life was simple

Noel edmunds, horrible man

The Adidas logo on Noel's Christmas jumper is a bit odd.

Before TV became shit.

"Happy er, Holidays" 2024

Let us all go 'Back to the Future'!

THAT SPOILT THE CLIP AT 5:34 SEEING THAT FILTHY CIGAR MUNCHING PAEDO

I love how Val Donovan is badly dubbed.

Alan Dedicoat.

I weirdly remember that Christmas logo and temple of doom being on Christmas Day.

Even as a 6yr old back then, this gives me memories. You wouldnt believe the excitement, just for the parents getting a bumper xmas Radio Times. I can smell the drinks cabinet and christmas tree frosting spray on this video 😂
