All This and Christmas Too was a one-off play produced by Yorkshire Television and broadcast Christmas Eve, 1971.
It starred Sid James as Sid Jones, patriarch of a happily chaotic and likeable family dealing with Christmas, an impending birth, ghastly in-laws and a troublesome mouse.
Sid's friend and neighbour was played by Kenneth Connor...and the general setting probably sailed as close to Sid James' own hit series, Bless This House, which had first aired that February, as could be without receiving some terse correspondence from Thames Television lawyers...
Happy Friday to all! I invite you to take the time to read my article on Kenneth Connor and Sid James characters in the British horror-comedy WHAT A CARVE UP!
Alternative First Season, Final Chapter (Part 1 of X): "Until death do us part"
After receiving an invitation to her cousin's wedding, Gabriella and Lola have been very busy with the other boys putting together a plan to interrupt the wedding.
Jennail (bored as she looked at Lola a bit confused): Hey, don't you know that whoever is getting married is the only one who should wear white?
Lola: Damn! I have to run to change! Although I don't understand why we should go with Alex...
Nylissit (Approaching): It's because he wants to go unnoticed at the wedding! And since you two were invited, you obviously have to go... Wait, I have to change too?
Jennail and Lola nodded, making Nylissit a little uncomfortable...
Nylissit: Oh... geez...
In Gabriella and Lola's room
Alexander, Kiernan, and Gabriella were finishing up their suits.
Gabriella: Are you sure you're going to spray that perfume or potion at the wedding? It can be dangerous!
Kiernan (While he was tying his tie): Yes Alexander, that's very dangerous...Geoff is stronger than all of us combined!!.
Alexander: I already know how to "weaken" it. What is the thing that most attracts dogs or wolves?
Gabriella and Kiernan (Confused): The Bones and the meat?... Don't tell us you're thinking of doing that...!!
Alexander (Thinking the situation very well): Better not... we'd suck a lot and we might end up being the wedding buffet...
Gabriella (Winding her eyes): And why is it that all the fatal fates for us are to be eaten by werewolves?...
At Belladonna Cove
Church of Belladonna
The wedding guests were already starting to arrive including Connor Weir, Ramir Patel and his girlfriend Ana. They were all very happy for their friend Geoff.
Ramir (being kissed by Ana): When we see Geoff and his wife we're going to give them the gifts we've brought, honey!
Ana: Obviously my sugar cube! I can't believe your friend is getting married today
Connor (While waiting for Samantha Cordial): Hey excuse me, haven't you seen Samantha around?
Ramir and Ana: Sorry, but we haven't seen Samantha...
Outside the church, Kenneth and Leandra were talking about their son.
Leandra (A little sad): This brings back a lot of memories... and not that kind...
Kenneth (Getting a little angry): What kind of memories are you referring to? Our wedding was much more beautiful haha! Don't tell me you envy our daughter-in-law?
I absolutely adored my trip to @BeetlejuiceBway. Giddily, outrageously funny with an absolutely fantastic score and thoroughly inventive staging, I was absolutely enthralled from start to finish.
Here's my full ★★★★★ review:

It's surely an amazing tool which must not be used in the wrong way! I promise my usage of AI voices will be only used for harmless fun and peaceful art like this.
Ian was well placed to assess Paul as he approached his 15th birthday.
He was outgoing, chatty and full of fun. He wasn’t really rebellious –he’d do things to be awkward to some degree, but he wasn’t an out-and-out rebel. He was always fun to be with, a good laugh, and popular. We gathered in the schoolyard in the mornings before being called in and he tended to hold court more than anyone else. He had more to say, and he’d tell things in an interesting way. He could mimic –I remember him taking off people like Kenneth Connor and sometimes he’d spontaneously break into Little Richard. It would just suddenly pop out, a couple of lines from Long Tall Sally or whatever, even if he was doing something different. He had the benefit of an imagination too, on the arty side. We liked to escape to the art room when it was empty, at the top of the spiral staircase, and do our own thing there: trying to create something modern, surreal. We’d get a big sheet of paper and use, say, a broom –dip it in some paint, splash it on and try to make something of it. I remember Paul created a piece which was a bit like The Scream –like somebody in agony, asking for help.
