And at number 22 was the Shakin&#8217; Stevens version of &#8216;Blue Christmas&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3711\" title=\"Shakin-stevens-video\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Shakin-stevens-video.jpg\" alt=\"Shakin Stevens Video\" width=\"550\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Shakin-stevens-video.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Shakin-stevens-video-530x310.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They had him on there talking about it and he said that when it was released in 1982 the record company never made a proper video for it. The only footage on him singing it was on a TV show, which they played a clip of.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the Shakin Stevens Video, TV presenter Russell Harty stood up at the front to shake his hand, so I presume it must&#8217;ve been from a show he hosted. I think he use to have a chatshow on BBC1.<br \/>\nIt looked like it was some sort of christmas party show because people were sitting at tables and Shaky was going around the tables singing.<\/p><div class=\"d7386eeb5bdcd2f43c1295b58ceaf130\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ofah2-response -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5593259115\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Anyway, sitting on one of the tables were David Jason, Nick Lyndhurst and Lennard Pearce dressed up as Del, Rodney and Grandad. Del had a grey suit jacket on, and Rodney was wearing the faded black leather jacket he wore in some of the earlier episodes. Grandad had his hat on.<\/p>\n<p>It was only a brief glimpse of them, 2 to 3 seconds but I&#8217;d never seen the footage before or read about it so it was strange seeing them sitting there.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said it looked like it was part of a show hosted by Russell Harty, so perhaps they&#8217;d been on their as guests and been interviewed before the Shakin Stevens song ?<\/p>\n<p>Apologies if you already know about it, but if not I hope it might be of interest and make a good bit on the website?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure other people may have seen the show I saw yesterday as looking through the TV guide it&#8217;s been repeated a few times over the last week.
