Christmas Comes But Once a Year

First broadcast: 28 December 1951

To the strains of a jaunty, cheerful soundtrack, this news item takes a light-hearted look at how people around London are spending the Christmas period. From a fancy dress cycling rally at Brookmans Park, to a dip in the ponds at Hampstead Heath (heated with water from a kettle) and from Speaker's Corner to St Paul's Cathedral, everyone seems to be having a very jolly time indeed.

This item has incomplete sound.
