Live Into ’85 (the New Year show)

  • Summary

  • JINGS! They said it couldn't be done! Well, they said it *shouldn't* be done, and they turned out to be right. Yes, it's another edition of The Peggy Mount Hogmanay Hour, and drunken sassenachs Velvet, Blackout and Bognops have stormed the passport control booth at Hadrian's Wall on a haphazard hunt north of the border for some Caledonian culture... Unfortunately that all sold out a week before Christmas, and all that's left in the gift shop is BBC One's near legendary end-of year-debacle: Live Into '85. Laird Tom O'Connor joins with Marquess Maggie Moone and Marquee Moira Anderson to host a rousing night of comedy, dancing, music and fun! Or again, that's what Tom had signed off for until discovering it had sold out etc. More guests appear entirely at their own risk. As at least one of them found out. Were the BBC cutting broadcast costs by pulling the plug on this while Big Ben was still chiming? Were Big Tom's Pipe Band cutting parking costs by keeping the minibus engine running outside? And what were the management of the Gleneagles Hotel hoping to achieve by combining their all-you-can-drink bar with the crèche? Push Play to have the answers revealed and branded into your eardrums forever... The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.
