#32: ATV Christmas week trail, 1981

From ATV, the last knocking of the franchise that would close come New Year's Day. Nice To See You looks half-baked even by the standards of ITV Brucie specials, Harry H Corbett, Faith Brown and Marti Webb being the guests alongside Lionel Blair, while their Thames contract means Morecambe and Wise have to be relegated to the 23rd, Alvin Stardust chosen as the star guest in a gag-free clip to be specifically trailed ahead of Ralph Richardson. Imagine the big film on 22nd December being Sweeney 2. And if you've never seen apparent Christmas Day highlight (though its competition was The Muppet Movie, Game For A Laugh and a forgotten Michael Caine film) It'll Be Alright On The Night 3 here it is, notably without the clip in the trailer.
