Work Advent Calendar 2017 Day 15: The Krankies At Christmas, 1983
Don't worry, the show isn't as long as the upload, only dead air after 40 minutes. And we need to establish full disclosure on the upload, as it's by Jimmy Cricket! After the jolt of a gag in which it is implied Jimmy Krankie would gleefully have urinated on Ian's head we find guesting alongside our uploader are Barbara Dickson, David Grant, Modern Romance, some puppets the audience find the last word in hilarity, some trick rollerskaters who at one point seem to be trying to choke each other and end by attempting to murder Wee Jimmy (wait...) instead, Melvyn Hayes as the dame and Bernie Winters, making his second appearance here this month in baffling character, as... Grotbags, we think, and then as Santa with his not-reindeer Schnorbitz. Why is there a bloodcurdling scream mid-sketch at 10:58?

Ah, video recorder jokes, it's 1983. Ian's really short, isn't he? He's shorter than Melvyn Hayes. It's only because he's standing next to Wee Jimmy that he seems tall. The bit that made me laugh most was when Jimmy was flung around by the rollerskating Frenchman. According to Google, principal boy Sara Hollamby is now on QVC.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the first or last time Hollamby features on the blog this year either.
