The Keith Harris New Year Show
Friday, 26 December, 2025
It's New Year's Eve at Mountpeg Towers, with messrs Velvet, Blackout and Bognops huddled round the Peggy Mount Calamity Hour drinks trolley making vague plans for the future whilst ruminating (as usual) on the past and scrawling optimistic lists of unrealistic resolutions. "Let's never do this again" warbled Mr Hussey famously, and he wasn't even reacting to being a guest on tonight's cavalcade of unleashed Showbusiness®... Yes it's off to BBC Television Centre we lurch, bottles in hand, to witness an iconic British entertainer with decades of experience being given his very own Prime Time Variety™ show in one of the year's most prestigious broadcast slots. A triumphant moment such as this should of course be seared into the cultural memory of a nation, which is why - we're sure - that after Big Ben has chimed to countless toasts, conversation across the land quickly turns to the very first 1982 pilot-instalment of The Keith Harris Show. Is it cheaper if one of the acts is married to the presenter? Is it cheaper if two of the acts are operated by the presenter? Look, there was clearly some sort of production budget here and it didn't make it to the stage, where did that money go..? Catch the Play button as you're falling off that diving board, and find out...
