Seen here in its entirety (an edited version was screened on television in the 1980s), this bumper-length Christmas special was made for Thames Television in the UK.

Terry Gilliam’s fantastic animation The Christmas Card brings the house down – just listen to how much the kids in the audience love it. I’m the Urban Spaceman gets another push – and there’s some splendid audience participation in By a Waterfall that certainly seems to please Mr Stanshall.
