Would the 'live' part refer to a stage show, though saying that were stage shows recorded back then as they are today?
It's a live stage show from 1973, the only one ever filmed apparently. Scheduled at 10.35pm though which I'd have thought is missing much of the target audience.
Yes, back then entertainers would often have a stage act that they never did on TV. They could perform it for years without having to do anything new, they'd never do it on TV because once it had been on telly it was dead material.
So there was no real need to film a stage show, there were no video sales back then.
This, I assume, is their concert at the Fairfield Hall, Croydon?

Given this is about the fourth time they've shown it, I don't think that's a problem.
Channel 5 have started to go Christmassy, with their trailers at least. No Christmas ident yet as far as I can see, but in recent years they have not usually launched Christmas idents until a little later in December., having been known in their early years to launch Christmas idents on 1st December.
They have. It must do them well for how long they've aired them for.
Looking at them again it's odd that they've launched festive trailers for programmes going out this week if there are no idents. Unless there are no idents!

The idents have still not been updated. Also ch5 is still being sponsor but those links are now between Idents and the start of the progrmmes, just in case anyone did not know.
