Stanley Baxter's Christmas Box

Overview

With Miriam Margolyes, Moray Watson, The Norman Maen Dancers and The Tony Mansell singers. Stanley Baxter's Christmas Box explodes to give us a seasonal send-up with all the trimmings. Among the gift-wrapped contents are the Cinderella characters invading the laconic Phillip Marlowe's office, a Kosher newscast, a tantalising glimpse of the Bruce Fosdyke show, a Christmas appeal on behalf of the Morally Inhibited, Noel Coward's view of the whole proceedings, Jacques Cousteau's view of the British at the seaside and Colonic Pictures 1940's musical extravaganza, Girl on the Cover.
