They are just a few of Blue Peter's 1981 highlights and others include Kevin Keegan in action in the studio, a meeting with Morph, the birth of Goldie's puppies and leaping through fire with the legendary White Helmets.

' The truth will rock you' ran the publicity. John Carpenter 's affectionate tribute to ' the King of Rock ' tells the true and moving story of the man behind the myth - from his birth into a poor Mississippi family in 1935 up to his comeback concert in Las Vegas in 1969. Kurt Russell gives a remarkably convincing performance as Elvis, and Shelley Winters and Season Hubley co-star as the two important women in his life.

Due to annual stocktaking literally dozens of mint and previously unseen 1981 jokes must go before midnight. Massive clearance of sketches, one-liners, songs, monologues. Also assorted performers including John Bett, Ron Bain, Robbie Coltrane, Celia Imrie and the talents of Rik Mayall, Chic Murray, The Hee Bee Gee Bees and the genuine reproductions of Noele Gordon, The Princess of Wales, Ian Paisley, The Police, Adolfo Celi and many, many more.
Guaranteed unrepeatable.
