Part 2 of 2 of the 1993 Xmas episode of The Generation Game. The contestants in this episode are Norma Gent & Andrew Blackmore from Manchester & Avon, Trixie & Murray Lee from London, John & Sonja James Salmon from Hertford & Bedford, and Harry Sanson & Julia Ross from Dorset. Bruce Forsyth hosts, assistant Rosemary Ford gets a fit of the giggles during mention of Carol Singing services to the elderly (you'll understand why when you see it), while the contestants are a game bunch, with one who stands out among the rest (literally), a saucy Bluecoat, a woman whose hubby slept through a Bruce Forsyth show (awkward) and one whose pal got caught short by a WW2 bomb! Among the games are playing in a Salvation Army Band, Xmas Cocktails (wonderfully farcical), Xmas Surprise (involving Bernie Clifton and being fitted into his bird puppet), then Guess the Xmas Carols via Mime (while still in their costumes). The finale is a spoof on Aladdin, which features guest appearances by Bob Holness and Little & Large (who are surprisingly amusing), while Rosemary is caught out by a change to one of the props from above. Interestingly Bob Holness mentions that Blockbusters is to return to the screen next April. However, that never happened as Blockbusters was axed soon after.

FunTranscript
00:00Our 13's from Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, their father and daughter, John and Sonia Jane Salmon.
00:15How are you? Merry Christmas. Thank you for being with us. You're Sonia Salmon?
00:19Yes.
00:20Salmon, right. Are you married, Sonia Salmon?
00:23No, I'm not. I'm looking.
00:25Oh, you're looking, yeah.
00:26But I've been engaged four times.
00:28Four times?
00:29Yeah.
00:30So you're a Salmon who's never been hooked.
00:33You went to Bluecoat at Pontin.
00:35Yeah.
00:36Did you enjoy that?
00:38I did, but I was always in trouble, Bruce.
00:41Oh, what did you do?
00:42Well, I got a written warning for, I was always being dared to do things,
00:46and the Bluecoats actually got a tug of war rote, because our entertainment manager thought he was a bit of a singer,
00:51and Danny Boy was his favourite song.
00:53Yeah.
00:54So one night, they lowered me down through the window at the top of the ballroom dressed as Frank Spencer,
00:58because I lured you in a bit of a day.
01:01That was good. That was lovely.
01:04It was better than it's Sir David Frost, wasn't it?
01:08See, the show's getting better all the time.
01:11Go on. There you go.
01:12There you go.
01:13Yes.
01:14So they laid me down on this rope.
01:15Unfortunately, the rope sort of finished about six feet off the ground,
01:17so I was just like swinging through the air, you know?
01:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:20And all the crowd were like, wah!
01:21You know, rolling around.
01:22Great.
01:23And he was going, oh, Danny Boy.
01:24No, it was fine.
01:25It was just like, oh, it's hilarious.
01:26You had to be there.
01:27Anything else?
01:28Anything else?
01:29Oh, yeah.
01:30I got sacked, actually, eventually.
01:31Oh, did you?
01:32I wonder why.
01:33I happened to tell everybody that the Red Arrows were doing a display in the ballroom at 2.30,
01:38and 150 people turned up.
01:40No!
01:41You see, audiences can be so thick, can't they?
01:45I couldn't even get a plane in.
01:47That's just incredible.
01:48I couldn't even get a plane in.
01:50I like you much.
01:52Now, over now to your father, John West.
01:54Oh, sorry.
01:55Sorry, John Salmon.
01:56Now, what do you do, John?
01:57I'm a retired publican, Bruce.
01:58What was the name?
01:59What was the pub called, Mr. Salmon?
02:00No, the Fisheries Inn.
02:01What?
02:02The Fisheries Inn.
02:03You're joking.
02:04Watch out of the juice, please.
02:05The Fisheries Inn.
02:06Right.
02:07Now, tell us about your wedding day, then.
02:08Oh, dear.
02:09Well, the wife was in the army, I was in the navy, and we were courting, and she was a
02:22little older than I was, actually.
02:24Well, how old were you, then?
02:25I was 19.
02:26Oh, and she thought you were how old?
02:27She was 22.
02:28She was 22?
02:29Yes.
02:30And I told her I was 26, you see.
02:32No.
02:33She didn't know this until we signed the register.
02:34No.
02:35And she saw it, and she took a mock swing at me, landed me, and I ended up with a lovely
02:38shiner.
02:39No.
02:41Sockeye, Salmon.
02:51Have you any children at all, John?
02:53We have eight children, seven including here.
02:54Eight?
02:55Yes.
02:56Eight?
02:57Oh, so you're a spawning son.
03:00No, don't lie down over there.
03:03All right.
03:04Thank you for being with us.
03:05Lovely, baby.
03:06Lovely, lovely.
03:07Lovely, lovely.
03:08Well, lovely.
03:09Look at that.
03:10Eight children.
03:11There we are.
03:12I can't believe it.
03:13Anyway, away you go.
03:14Our fourth team's from Dorset.
03:15Their grandfather and granddaughter, Harry Sansom and Julia Ross.
03:20Ross.
03:21Well, there you are, Julia.
03:26Ross.
03:27Ross.
03:28Ross.
03:29Now, are you married at all?
03:30No, but I'm engaged to Darren Slade.
03:31Oh, yes.
03:32And where did you meet him?
03:33I met him in the local nightclub.
03:34His plaster from his shoulder right down to his wrist.
03:35No.
03:36And he asked me out and I wasn't sure.
03:37You know, looking so peculiar.
03:38I thought, well, I don't know.
03:39So you didn't know whether to go out with him?
03:40No.
03:41Just show me.
03:42It was like this.
03:43Oh, he was like this.
03:44Literally just like this.
03:45Well, you could have gone out with him.
03:46You could have gone out with him.
03:47You could have gone ballroom dancing.
03:48It was a twirl.
03:49Oh, don't you dance close.
03:50Anyway, right.
03:51Right.
03:52Now, have you ever won anything?
03:53I have, yes.
03:54In 1986, I became the Open European baton twirling champion.
03:55Oh, how marvellous.
03:56Oh, can you still do it?
03:57I can still do it, yes.
03:58Can you do it?
03:59Yes.
04:00Well, we thought so.
04:01Have we got a baton there, Rosie?
04:02Ah.
04:03Jolly good.
04:04Can you, can we just move over here a little bit?
04:06Oh, I can.
04:07I can.
04:08I can.
04:09I can.
04:10I can.
04:11I can.
04:12I can.
04:13I can.
04:14Very good.
04:15Can you, can we just move over here a bit to get out your way?
04:17Just, just a few seconds of it.
04:18Just to see out how you were.
04:19Woo!
04:20That was mad.
04:21Oh, very good.
04:22Right, then over to your grandfather.
04:23Grandfather Harry Samson.
04:24What?
04:25Samson.
04:26Samson.
04:27Oh, no, Samson.
04:28Samson.
04:29Not Samson.
04:30Not Samson.
04:31Not Samson.
04:32You're married to Lila.
04:33Oh, so it was Samson.
04:34Very good.
04:35Very good.
04:36Very good.
04:37Very good.

04:41Very good.
04:42Very good.
04:43Very good.
04:44Samson and Delilah.
04:45It's Lila, actually, Bruce.
04:48Yeah, I know.
04:49I know it's Lila.
04:50That's amazing.
04:51But Harry, if I'd have said Samson and Delilah, you wouldn't have got a laugh, would
04:55it?
05:03This is my job, Harry.
05:05Trying to earn a living.
05:07Samson and Delilah.
05:10Right.
05:11Now, during the war, you and your mate Bert, he sounds good, came up to London and had
05:17a bit of trouble at Waterloo Station.
05:20What's that all about?
05:21Well, we got to the station and Bert wanted to answer the call to nature.
05:25Oh, I see.
05:26So we went in the toilet.
05:27In the toilet.
05:28In the toilet.
05:29And all of a sudden an unexploded bomb went off about three streets away.
05:35Oh, no.
05:36All the plaster come down off the ceiling.
05:38Yeah, yeah.
05:39Bert came out of the cubicle.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Trouser drawn his ankle.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Shirt bandolier fashion.
05:45Yes, yeah.
05:46Covered in plaster.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Yes.
05:50And he said they haven't got such good plumbers as we have in dorset.
05:52I only point a time.
05:54I only point a time.
05:55Oh, you point a shame.
05:56Hold on.
05:59And there's a lot of stories.
06:01We've got a game coming up for you straight away.
06:05Nice people again.
06:06Very nice.
06:07Oh, yeah.
06:08Yes, Harry, we missed you, haven't we been?
06:12Right.
06:13Our third game is called Christmas Surprise.
06:16You're going to watch the demonstration on a screen.
06:19Okay.

08:45I bet I've got myself already.
08:47I mean, I've roughing me feathers up and everything.
08:49You mean I've been ostracised?
08:51I'll be back for the Georgian later.

12:44Marvellous.

12:46And look, Harry, come back.
12:48Harry, get on the end.
12:49Harry, get on the end.
12:51Okay.
12:52You come back here.
12:53Absolutely marvellous.
12:54Now come back, Bernie.
12:55And do some marking.
12:56There we are.
12:57Here we are.
12:58Very good.
12:59Very good.
13:00You can come here.
13:01You can come here.
13:02You're all right.
13:03You're there.
13:04Oh.
13:07Don't start.
13:08Now, Lee.
13:09By the way, if anybody's just switched on, this is not wildlife on one.
13:14Now, what did you think?
13:15Well, there's quite a good thing about it, Bruce.
13:16When I think that I've spent 15 years trying to make it look difficult.
13:20And these made it look really easy.
13:22I thought they were marvellous, didn't you?
13:23They were.
13:24They were absolutely tremendous.
13:25And I've done the marking.
13:26I've thought that John, on the end, in spite of his girth, is not a ballet dancer in build.
13:30No, no, no.
13:31I give John seven.
13:32Oh, yes, seven.
13:33Yeah, good.
13:33And I thought Sonia was absolutely excellent.
13:35And I've given Sonia nine.
13:37Nine.
13:38Very good.
13:39Very good indeed.
13:40Wonderful.
13:41Wonderful.
13:42And don't get so excited.
13:44Right.
13:45Now, what about over this side?
13:46Well, Harry, I thought it displayed a certain amount of maturity.
13:49You did.
13:51Well, he got the head between his legs.
13:52I didn't think it was going to come out.
13:56Difficult, yeah.
13:57And he was marvellous.
13:58And you were absolutely lovely as well, Julia.
14:00And I've decided to give Harry seven.
14:01Yeah.
14:02And Julia seven.
14:03Very good indeed.
14:04All right.
14:05Well done, all of you.
14:07What a difficult thing to ask you to do.
14:09Now, when are you going to be in panto?
14:10Because you're obviously in panto.
14:11Well, I'm obviously in panto, yes.
14:13We're at the Hexagon at Reading.
14:14We're going to be Peter Pan.
14:16Yeah.
14:16Do you know, in the foyer, Bruce, they're selling copies of my record, which is about
14:20Eddie Stobart.
14:20Do you know what?
14:21I bet your little boy would love one of these.
14:24Oh, my little boy, he'd love that.
14:27He really, especially as I didn't have to ask for it.
14:30Which is not against my nature, but that's marvellous.
14:32Will you keep that on the side there for me, thank you.
14:35And a very happy Christmas.
14:36Well done.
14:36Thank you for giving me such a wonderful game.
14:38Bernie Clifton, please thank you.
14:40There we are.
14:42What's on the board, Miss Horne?
14:44John and Sonia have 16.
14:49Julia and Harry have 14.
14:51Oh, only two of you.
14:52Only two of you.
14:53Well done, all of you.
14:54Well done, all of you.
14:56Now, our fourth game is called Mime Along a Song.
15:01One of you will hear a Christmas song, and you will have to mime the song to your partner.
15:07Okay?
15:07Now, who's going to do the miming, and who's going to do the guessing?
15:12I'll do the miming.
15:13You'll do the miming?
15:14Okay.
15:14Who's going to do the...
15:15I'll do the guessing.
15:16You'll do the guessing?
15:17So, Harry, you've got to do the miming.
15:19You're lumbered with it.
15:20Okay.
15:20Are we ready?
15:21Okay.
15:21To your lecterns, and to your other places.
15:24Okay.
15:25Here we go.
15:27Get your lecterns here.
15:28And get over here behind...
15:29In that little red thing there.
15:32That's it.
15:32Get Harry over there, Rosie.
15:34Get behind here.
15:35That's fine.
15:36Put the head on my door.
15:37Can you hear anything?
15:39No?
15:39Could we have Christmas song number one, please?
15:42I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe at night
15:54She didn't see me not, but I can't
16:00She don't think I was stuck, stuck in my bed
16:06Right.
16:12Have you got an answer there?
16:14Oh, right.
16:15Okay.
16:16Is that a song?

25:12We are now ready for Aladdin, take two.
25:19Greetings.
25:20I'm still wishy-washy, and this is still Aladdin, I hope.
25:24And here he comes now.
25:30Hello, Aladdin.
25:32Not another wrong lamp.
25:34It's not as dim as you.
25:38Who put that on there?
25:39Right, now, you haven't said hello to the boys and girls yet.
25:43All right, and remember, before you say any line, you do that.
25:46So go on, away you go.
25:47Hello, boys and girls.
25:49Hello, Aladdin.
25:51Hello, boys and girls.
25:53Hello, Aladdin.
25:56Is that it? Good.
25:59I'm fed up with telling you the genie doesn't come on
26:02until someone rubs the lamp.
26:04This lamp is getting annoyed with me, isn't it?
26:07I've spent too much time.
26:09It says I'm getting on its wick,
26:11and you're certainly getting on mine.
26:13Oh.
26:13Hello, Mum.
26:23Come here, get on the end there.
26:25Get on the end there, right.
26:26Why are you late, Mum?
26:27Twanky, I got nicked.
26:28No, you are twanky.
26:30Anyway, go on.
26:31I got nicked for parking,
26:33and I had to dump the clamp.
26:36No, Rosie, she said dump the clamp,
26:39not rub the lamp.
26:40I'm beginning to lose all interest,
26:43because I'm being ignored.
26:44People are starting to say to me,
26:46what's up?
26:47Are you barb, Miss Ford?
26:48I want you two boys to help me with the laundry.
26:53OK, Mum, put it down there,
26:54and we'll see if we can help you.
26:56Oh, go on, go on.
26:57What are those?
26:58What are those?
26:59These are the fowlers.
27:02Big bust-up.
27:04Boy, I can't stand here all day.
27:06I've got work to do.
27:07Yes.
27:09Yeah, I'm not going to ask what it is.
27:11OK, we'll take your work home with you, Mum.
27:13All right, and we'll see you later.
27:14Thank you, Mum.
27:15Oh, no, no!
27:22Who's here?
27:24A criminal act has been committed.
27:27Oh, what do you mean, a criminal act?
27:29We've seen first half of the sketch,
27:31and you're going away with murder.
27:34So watch it, Bruce.
27:36Bruce?
27:37Bruce, why are you speaking in broken English?
27:40All right, if you don't like broken English,
27:43how about this?
27:45It's fucking China.
27:49Ladies, instead of being writtle and rats.
27:52Yeah.
28:01All right, away you go.
28:04I'm starving.
28:05I could eat oodles of noodles.
28:06Well, we haven't got any,
28:08but I'll tell you what we can do,
28:09and this will be a bit of a test for you.
28:11OK, now you've got ten seconds
28:13to eat this jelly with chopsticks.
28:16Starting from now.
28:18Ten seconds.
28:22Keep going.
28:23Oh, yes!
28:25I thought so.
28:26You've got it off.
28:28Don't worry.
28:29Don't worry.
28:30You don't get anything for it.
28:31Anyway, come over here.

28:44You're Avanaza.
28:45You have magic powers.
28:46OK?

29:57Oh, I thought that would bring her back, yes.
