You'd have never thought bob grant would have taken his own life.

[@darrylashton8428]

Bob Grant was type cast and he couldn't get work when it ended. He became more and more depressed and also a recluse. No one knows what troubles are deep inside someone all hidden away and tormenting the sufferer until death releases them. But only God knows the answer. But how the heck did he always get the birds. The crumpet is what I would like to know. He was nothing to look at. Scrawny comes to mind. RIP Bob Grant. You're free now.

[@sidneygreen9120]

Very sad what happened to Bob, the entertainment industry turned there back on him, absolutely disgusting

[@beverlygannon4141]

So so sad 🤢

[@ianholmes3761]

[@smithpm81]

[@alexcroy9187]

Never seen this episode before

[@arthurvasey]

It’s part of a Christmas Night show that featured various singers, comedians and other entertainers and featured specially-written episodes for inclusion within the show of contemporary sitcoms of the era - the BBC had Christmas Night With The Stars and ITV had Christmas Comedy Carnival or something like that, both of which were fronted by an anchor that was a comedian or entertainer and also featured popular entertainers of the era and also featured specially-commissioned episodes of the sitcoms of the era, broadcast in isolation from the series itself!

[@gaggymott9159]

The driver at 0:27 is Larry Martin, later Mr Mash, from Are You Being Served?

[@sheilagravely5621]

[@jessiejames7492]

[@johnking5174]

Reg Varney had agreed to depart the show during the 1973 final series, and so he decided not to bother to be in the 1972 Christmas clip here, by this time Reg had enough of On the Buses.

[@jacksugden8190]

Utter crap episode with beyond silly sketches after Reg left, the actors were time expired, as were the script writers, they did this silly episode to boost it’s success for other stupid episodes to keep it on air.
