With the last sequential day that the UK calendar will have this century being the 11/12/13,I decided to mark the US's last sequential day of 12/13/14 (with the next one being in 89 years!) by watching a program which has become my all time favourite Christmas Special.
View on the film:
Whilst the script by Michael Brumm, Rich Dahm, Peter Gwinn and lead star Stephen Colbert has a far from coherent plot, (with the bear reappearing/disappearing whenever the story needs it!)the writers take the special down a number of hilarious,bonkers Santa's Grottos,as Colbert & his friends spend time in the cabin singing unexpectedly catchy tunes which go from the high-rocking Have I Got a Present for You ,to the innuendo-laced Soul song Nutmeg.
Dancing around the cabin,Colbert gives a terrific performance,with Colbert keeping the characters self-centred nature firmly in place among the X-Mas wrapping.Joining Colberet,Elvis Costello gives a delightful performance as a Charles Dickens-style version of himself,whilst Willie Nelson makes sure that this very special Colbert Special ends on a high note.
