Creamguide's Pick of the Day
-
The Legendary Bing Crosby
Tuesday, 23.00, Sky Arts 2Doubtless Sky Arts have shown this a thousand times, and probably another channel before that, but we’re a bit quiet this week so it gets in. It’s Bing with all his mates, including Dino and Frank and Bob and of course Dame David, suitably seasonal for this time of year. We don’t know if it’s got him being impressed by Pan’s People, though.

“See? We’re not like Smashy and Nicey! Look, we’re wearing suits!”
You can just *tell* this picture was taken in 1993, can’t you? Every male contestant on Family Fortunes that year wore a waistcoat like Nicky Campbell’s.
Of course, “Wrighty” should really be in pyjamas and nightcap and holding an oversized alarm clock; Emma should be biting into an oversized sandwich (possibly with one of those little flags in it, saying ‘contentious issues’ on it); Nicky should be wearing a chauffeur’s cap and brandishing some furry dice to denote ‘Drivetime’; and Goodybags could just hold up a big ’2′.
