  • Hands up those old enough to recognise all the "dancers" 0:20 to 0:35

  • @lomax343 If you click "show more" in the description you'll see that I have named them for you.

  • During the late 1960's and right through the 1970's we were spoilt by quality TV (even from the USA!). Only now we realise it because the programmes today are so below par when compared. In fact there is no comparison. M&W were up there with the best of British comedy.

  • @maxiboy666 Thanks for your excellent comment. It sums up my feelings exactly!

  • Not only am I old enough to remeber most of the dancers, I even remembered Eric's cane getting bigger before the first change. Glenda did get off lightly when compared to SHirley Bassey who had her shoe removed and replaced with a muckle great boot. Pure class entertainment in them thar days, not like the s*@te we get now.

  • Glenda got off sooooo lightly

  • @Suprahampton For about half or so of the endings, they chose a song from 2 or 3 others to vary it. Bring Me Sunshine, Positive Thinking, Just Around The Corner and this one, Following You Around (my favourite stalking song). Not sure if they did any others. The band started playing Bring Me Sunshine at the very end, they were obviously missing it!

  • Thank you Mitsy for sharing this wonderful video with me, i enjoyed it very much :)

    Have a great evening my dear friend.

    With love and hugs, Jasmine.

  • This always reminds me of being a kid , my mum made me always watch these on VHS and boyam i gratefull!!!!

  • When I was a kid, Christmas wasn't the same without the M&W Christmas special!

  • Eric's wee smirk at 3:30ish! Funny! :o)

  • I love this, hard to belive that it is 40 years old this year and its still a brilliant show. Thank you for posting this and making me smile :-)
