I'm from the USA and to hear our beloved Dean Martins' rendition of this Christmas song was very nice,.. thanks !

[Hazzoufc]

It's the best version!

[AndrewofWare]

Thanks whiteja1989 for your reply. I know that BBC Worldwide is funded by sales of its programmes abroad, publishing, etc, but many of the extracts are taken from programmes made with licence fee money. I believe the BBC does, or did, own part of the UK TV channels - but even if they do not a lot of their programmes come from the BBC.

[apr28]

Don't British people say Happy Christmas?

[AndrewofWare]

Hello apr28. British people do say 'Happy Christmas' - but 'Merry Christmas' is more usual. As 'merry' is often used as a euphemism for 'drunk' this seems appropriate!

[keithyoong]

Andrew, I couldn't have put it better. Merry Christmas, mate.

[mireah]

As AndrewofWare points out, we're more likely to say Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

[justinsuperstar]

This is GENIUS!

[CardClashersHub]

[TurtleHump]

Commercials make me not want to come here ever again. Double Plus BAD!

[Sebtastical]

what commercials? O.o

[TurtleHump]

I was subjected to watching one prior to the video. It's probably randomized... Like winning the lottery only lame.

[RomydeJesus]

Excelente vídeo.

[TARDISDOWNUNDER]

Oh wow, this is interactive! That's great. Doesn't know here though. Should show lots of dust and heats waves. Hahahaha.

[AndrewofWare]

Brilliant. Now I know what I pay my licence fee for. Last year I kept forgetting to check for the latest Advent calendar video, but making it interactive this should help me.

[whiteja1989]

This is made by BBC Worldwide which is not funded by the license fee. BBC Worldwide is the BBC's commercial 'arm'. Mostly for non-UK business. It gets it money from magazine/book publishing, merchandising, BBC America, the UKTV brand, and library footage sales among other things. Some of the profit it makes also goes back to 'BBC UK' ie in 07/08 64% of its profit was invested in in-house and independant programmes commissioned by the BBC in the UK

[GHFsheepdogs]

the BBC owns UKTV?! thats new!

[whiteja1989]

You either didn't understand what I wrote or you're being sarcastic. I'm gonna hope for sarcastic

[GHFsheepdogs]

o no no i meant i didnt no dat b4 u wrote it m saying thanks!

[me282uk]

[Hazzoufc]
