TV Cream Advent Calendar 2016 Day 1: Gone Live! 1990

The last Going Live! of every year would be a pre-record, usually with an excuse to throw all their friends into a knocked out panto setting, and so was the case here. Get past the opening Double Dare - 25:37, to be exact - and we're into a Trevor & Simon penned, vaguely A Christmas Carol based tale in which the ghosts are played by those typical kids' TV faces Rowland Rivron, Norman Lovett and Susie Blake. The Hothouse Flowers turn up for little given reason, and there's a game cameo by Jonathan Porritt, public face of the Green Party at their peak and as such reliably turning up with Pip'n'Saz once a series. If anyone can explain the cameo with Normski around 59:00 we'd be glad to hear it.
