Home Advent Calendar 2017 Day 24: Generation Game, 1990

And finally for 2017's festive selection, we had to end on this year's biggest loss. The Gen Game revival had been the inevitable huge hit that autumn so the Christmas Day show is pretty much a standard programme with the traditional 'famous people in costume' game and a pantomime that aside from the lack of Frankie Howerd input hits all the key notes of the round - Wench, Embarrassing Dance Forced Upon Contestants, Hostess' Legs, Cameo By Bruce's Mate (Kenny Lynch), Cameo By Unlikely Star (Anne Charleston and Ian Smith), Thing That Hasn't Aged Well At All (Rosemarie Ford rapping). It finishes, as it always should, with Brucie at the piano. There'll never be another. It's hard to believe there was one in the first place.
