The Kenny Everett Video Show | Cliff Richard (1978)

In 1978, London's Thames Television offered Kenny Everett a new venture, which became the Kenny Everett Video Show.

This was a vehicle for Everett's characters and sketches (his fellow writers were Ray Cameron, Barry Cryer and Dick Vosburgh), interspersed with the latest pop hits, either performed by the artists themselves, or as backing tracks to dance routines by Arlene Phillips risque dance troupe Hot Gossip, which featured Sarah Brightman.


Regular comic characters include Cupid Stunt, Captain Kremen, Marcel Wave, Sid Snot and Angry of Mayfair.


Originally aired on 7 August 1978
