A very mixed bag, IMHO. Having got the hour on DVD, I switched over to catch the end of the Freddie Starr show - which I saw when it first came out. The dear folk souls on BBC4 should have seen Freddie singing an Elvis medley backed by a cracking house band plus The Jordanaires - that would have been an education for them. Starr, whatever else he may be, being probably the best interpreter of Presley in this country and any other.

The final "Jingle Bells" bit of the BBC4 show was like the very worst of the Billy Cotton band Show...
