Re: Christmas TV

Boxing Day Sunday 26th December 1999

3.40pm Stepping Out
featuring the pop band Steps

I wouldn't mind seeing that again (or it coming back on YT or being released on DVD). I remember seeing it and found the female reporter who had appeared on that programme very exciting to say the least! - I assumed that the Monday and Tuesday morning showings of that programme were omnibus editions in reverse - in other words, the first showing on Boxing Day was shown together, while the first half was repeated on Monday morning, and the second half was shown again on Tuesday morning, if you know what I mean.

It was made by an independent for LWT so the chances are it isn't available. Also, the title was not to be confused with an ITV Saturday night show of the same from around 2013 either.
