Advent Calendar 2021 Day 11: Going Live!, 1987

No, not Gone Live!, this one is a live Boxing Day special with multiple outside broadcasts and a sense that most of the crew and management are either absent or are there under Quality Street fuelled semi-protest. It was only the show's first year, they'll learn in time. Saturday Superstore refugee Vicky Licorish is already dressed as Aladdin in a hospital ward in Carshalton, joined by Jonathon Morris and someone called Peter Gosling who seems as unlikely a Saturday morning figure as there could be and doesn't do very much at all. Peter Simon meanwhile is in a dark and wet Glasgow previewing the Garden Festival of lunchtime filler future with Andy Cameron and someone else dressed as bees, and later the Proclaimers in front of a fairground roundabout with an incredible accompaniment involving children tearing up signs. We've seen part of this before, the Bread vs Little & Large Double Dare https://why-dont-youtube.blogspot.com/2015/12/19-double-dare-1987.html ; otherwise giving up their day are Ian McCaskill, Peter Howitt, Bros, Colin Moynihan MP doing the Press Conference and some of the Liverpool Why Don't You? gang. Pip and Saz have brought their parents and siblings in, and Sarah recalls an anecdote about when Run DMC freestyled on her coffee making abilities.
