Advent Calendar 2022 Day 17: Telly Addicts, 1986

At the end of the first year of Telly Addicts, 1985, a team comprising Michael Grade, Nina Myskow, Barry Took and Larry Grayson took on the series winners in a programme we very eagerly inducted into the Advent Calendar four years ago but has since disappeared (can anyone help?) In 1986, it was decided that by winner stays on rules they may as well try the same thing again, so they gathered together to face off with the Reynish family from Swansea, one question seemingly unknowingly featuring a sketch that Took wrote. Incidentally, this was the first thing Noel, sporting a spectacular blow-weave mullet, filmed after Michael Lush's death on 13th November, which may explain his slight restraint and the volume of the applause at the start. Whatever popular history now considers, there was a lot of public goodwill behind him at the time.

LEFTOVERS: we, it's fair to say, are big on these end of year TV questioning feasts, as as well as 1985 as previously mentioned we've featured 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992
