Last of the Summer Wine
In 1978, the BBC commissioned a "Last of the Summer Wine" Christmas special instead of a new series. Titled "Small Tune on a Penny Wassail", it was broadcast on 26 December 1978. Other Christmas programmes followed in 1979 and 1981. The 1981 special, "Whoops", gained 17 million viewers and was beaten only by "Coronation Street" for the number one spot. Christmas shows were produced infrequently thereafter and sometimes were the only new episodes in years without an order for a new series. This happened often during the 1980s when Roy Clarke's commitment to "Open All Hours" prevented the production of a full series every year. The specials often included well-known guest stars such as John Cleese and June Whitfield.
