ReplyDeleteConsidering the recent passing of Bill Tarmey, I'm so happy to see that Liz Dawn is still willing to be apart of this. It'll be hard for her to do without Bill by her side but I'm sure she'll dedicate the performance to him. Thankyou Liz!! xx
ReplyDeleteOk, I know its for charity, and its not the charity side I'm against, and I'm also not against Christmas. I think the little kids these days have less Christmas magic than we all had. Its just the idea of the Christmas special thing. EastEnders did a similar thing years ago and while the singing was good the comedy sketches were dreadful.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I'll glady eat my Christmas stocking if it turns out to be good.
the girl singer on the left really looks like sarah-lou platt. they could re-cast her
