Very surprised that nobody mentioned the BBC ident spoof hidden within the video. Bloke in wheelchair dressed in santa suit (which of course is red), surrounded by dancing Santas. The only thing missing was the red box in the corner.


I think this is the same guy who sometimes presents on XChange, isn't it?

Just seen it on The Hits.


Yes, its the same Guy.

Did the hits show all of the video (ie the 2 or 3 mins with the Wright/Leslie thing) or did they cut streight into the song?

The man in the wheelchair is called Adie. He is on xchange and has featured on the BBC ONE ident.

I've seen this video a few times, and I can say the song is exactally the same as the Bo Selecta programme- funny the first couple of times, but gets more and more tedious. By Xmas I'll wish I'd never heard it.

Well stop watching it then. I've noticed, all you've done this weekend is moan about things you choose to watch or listen to.

I've seen it many, many times. I actually recorded it, and keep watching it. I have now seen it so much that I skip the Micheal Jackson/Mathew Wright bit, but the song is still great. I doubt I will ever get bored of it, its a proper christmas song.

Don't patronise me. You moaning....
I'll stop there before me gets meself banned...

The point of this forum is to discuss as well as argue/disagree/agree and so on and so forth. All you ever do is slag off programmes - do you get some sort of adverse pleasure from it?

Some people out there are critical by nature- but do you REALLY have a problem with it? Being critical is better than looking at everything through rose coloured glasses.

BTW I share James's view that Avid's worn thin now as well- Bo! Selecta was a one joke show. It was funny at first, but it got boring & repetitive by the second series (Craiiiiig Daviiiid and Sha'mone Mutha f***a can only be funny so many times. Problem is, even with the new stuff he brings in, he still makes them the main features of the show.), and the single is just the same- funny at first, but gets tedious rapidly, just like the Cheeky Girls and S Club 8. If Bo! Selecta had ended after one series we could look back at it as that funny and innovative programme, but after the 3rd series airs (I presume it's been commisioned), we'll see it as little more than that annoying show that got tedious. Keep it Short & Sweet.

No, I don't have a problem with it all. Indeed I do a lot of it myself, but 'james2001' got a bit offensive there IMO.

I am going to be honest here but I have watched this a million times, it's a funny video and a damn good song. But when I was watching it on The Hits earlier I realised something, at the end when he comes on as Trisha, does he say 'I'm a tw*t'? As it does sound like it very much.
