Work Advent Calendar 2017 Day 5: Watch - The Nativity

The fondly remembered double festive edition of the lightly religious schools programme was first broadcast on 22nd November (!) 1977 and repeated as recently as 1996. The department clearly saw the potential in this as Louise Hall-Taylor was sent out to the Holy Land to hang out in a cave with some sheep, James Earl Adair balancing the books in a basic studio with some cardboard. Some fine location shots, though, and someone hired a stunt Joseph, Mary, donkey, wise men and camels too.
