Work Advent Calendar 2017 Day 14: Record Breakers, 1972
Not yet in All-Star mode, but then this pre-Christmas show was also Record Breakers' second ever edition. Roy has the patter down even if the show seems a little sparse, the McWhirters not yet taking requests and only one record attempt and pre-recorded film piece each, and snooker's Rex Williams doing some trick shots where you'd expect a world record attempt. It does finish in the way you'd hope it would, Roy crooning White Christmas to an arrangement seemingly based on Whiter Shade Of Pale.
The accompaniment on the organ in key bits was spooky, but Robert Wadlow was the (Christmas) gift that kept on giving on Record Breakers, I seem to remember his shoes featuring on a later episode too. Needed a trumpet solo, though.
