In 1966, then again from 1970 onwards the show also broadcast on most Christmas and New Year’s Days, until 1989. In the episode, Michael receives a coconut and some flowers in the mail (in an attempt to recreate the Nintendo game Animal Crossing) and sends a thankful letter in response. Anyway, he suddenly appeared with him and he had it all re-done and it was all tolled up and at one end it looked tatty and miserable. That was the last of the Theatre Royal but they were very, very happy days in the Theatre Royal and recording. We used to have a, an iron curtain used to come down and still, they kept the iron curtain in and I remember we had a recording, we were doing a recording and we had a break, we did a bit of the show and then we stopped the show for some reason, I think a technicality, and they dropped the iron curtain in just to separate the audience from the performers, what was going on on stage while they were sorting it out and then they couldn't get the iron curtain back up again!Working in theatre, comedy, film and variety, he never quite expected to become a children’s TV host.
