We were told beforehand to ignore the cameras and assured that everyone in the audience would appear on television at least once. This was facilitated by extensive use by the cameramen of the mirrors on the walls.
Rod Hull appeared with his giant puppet Emu, which was silent but funnier than it sounds: he was a popular act on children's television at the time.
Bernard Cribbins was already a legend of stage and screen and a regular favourite on The Good Old Days
The highlight for me, though, was Rita Morris performing a couple of songs, including "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" while on a swing in a rose-covered bower and looking extremely pretty.
