Work Advent Calendar 2017 Day 3: Grotbags sings, 1984
It's well known that Carol Lee Scott, who died in July, was a singer on the working men's club and holiday camp circuit, where she was spotted by Rod Hull performing in summer season and brought into the fold when he joined the nascent Central. Indeed throughout her run and into her own show there'd be songs crowbarred in, including this exuberant take on We Need A Little Christmas from the Broadway musical Mame. This was originally shown on the Emu's World episode dated 30th... March. Yep, the plot involved Grotbags fooling the Pink Windmill kids into visiting Santa out of season. But just to make sure, here's Rod, Susan Maughan and Carl Wayne delivering the same song on that year's actual Christmas special.
