Colbert the Immortal

Comedy Central splits this video into two parts, and the sound is muffled, so I made my own transfer. This sort of thing, from Thursday’s show, repeating tomorrow, is why I enjoy watching Stephen Colbert so much. Unfortunately, later in the show he had Woody Harrelson as a guest, who I can’t stand.

Happy Pet Day

Happy Birthday, Petula Clark!

Petula Clark as a child actressPetula Clark

Petula says she’ll continue to work and perform as long as there’s an audience. Judging from this appearance in France a few months ago, she still has an audience.

It was 40 years ago, on Petula’s birthday, that BBC One TV broadcast its first programme in colour. BBC Two had been transmitting in colour for some months. The first colour show on BBC One was, “An Evening With Petula.”
