I came into this earth in early 1980s . Present ,I had a bad week and the other day and whilst shopping in morrisons ,in the next isle I heard a child’s voice singing 12 days of Christmas🎄. She was singing loud and proud but just like an angel and the whole song. I don’t know why it broke my heart to hear that as shopping it just did !. Bless her . So innocent and a reminder to me the Scrooge we can become as we get older in life . As the angel and mother passed me I said your singing is beautiful , her mother said thank you and smiled , the angel just carried on singing , it did it make me happy and sad at the same time as I walked down the isle her voice got quieter. Bless that little angel 💯. Have a good life please 🙂 merry Christmas anybody reading this boring comment I wrote lol 🎅🏼⭐️🙏🏼

Certainly not a boring content. That sounds like a special moment that had quite an effect on you. Life can throw us challenges but sometimes,, to feel better, it just takes a moment like that to give you a lift. I'm in my 50s now and the world can make you cynical,, but finding little things like you describe - often unexpectedly- can really help you feel that the world can be a wonderful place as well. Look for those moments as they are there and what a difference they can make to us.

I was surprised by George C Scott as Scrooge. I first saw this version in the early 90s. Amazingly this was filmed in Britain but was not premiered on British television. It premiered on CBS at Christmas 1984, but for people in Britain, they had to go to the cinema to see it. It finally got its British television premiere on ITV on Christmas Eve 1989. I saw it a few years later, and was impressed with George C Scott. I thought an American portraying an Englishman would be wrong, but he was decent at it.

This was an excellent video. I love all the "Scrooge" and "A Christmas Carol" movies. I did an "In Remembrance" video to a couple of these films on my channel where I remember the cast members who have passed away. On an interesting note, I also have a Facebook group who are trying to get permission to mark the unmarked grave of Michael J. Dolan in Dublin, Ireland, the actor who played the "Spirit of Christmas Past" in the Alastair Sim version. We found his granddaughter, but we need two more family members who we are still seeking. Cheers, and Thank You.

Such a wonderful comment, thank you. I truly hope your campaign is successful, that is so sad that his grave is unmarked. Stay well, thank you again and have a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks Rob, entertaining and informative as always from my favourite youtube channel. I visited Scandrett St, as mentioned in your video, on my last trip to London - location of fictitious pub The Lion and Unicorn in my favourite film - The Long Good Friday.

Thank you! I really wanted to mention the Long Good Friday but felt it would stray too much from the video! That, and also the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in the 1984 film was played by Michael Carter… who in ‘An American Werewolf in London’ is the fellow attacked by the wolf at the tube station! 🤣

My favourite variation of "Christmas Carol" is named "Scrooge," the musical version starring Sir Albert Finney in the eponymous role. The acting, the songs, and the visuals combine to make it, for me, the most amazing rendition! MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!❤💚❤💚❤💚

Thanks for this, much appreciated. I can remember the buzz around the filming in Shrewsbury. Some of the props were left hanging up on the Market Hall stalls into the evening after a day's shoot and it was possible to walk through the Market Hall and believe you were part of Victorian Shrewsbury in the fake snow. My sister, along with many friends doing drama at school, was co-opted into being background extras in the Market scenes too. I'm glad that Scrooge's grave in new St Chad's graveyard has been restored, I have several ancestors who where christened, married and buried there from the mid 1800s, the back garden of the family house on Claremont Hill backed onto the churchyard grounds, it was the family church for 60 years or so. I expect to be enjoying a few pints of beer in the Three Fishes over the Christmas break if all goes well.

That was fun! New viewer to your channel. Looking forward to more. The 1951 version of A Christmas Carol has always been my favorite, followed by the 1984 version. I just watched the 1935/36 version and enjoyed that as well. Merry Christmas!
