 that I did for the BBC in the 70's. I loved every moment of them! 'Now I'm really looking forward to the Christmas show that they have asked me to present, with the aid of some friends, this December 2022. 'My Christmas wish? That you will enjoy our show.

Sir Cliff Richard appears to have had a change of heart with the BBC after previously suing the broadcaster for invasion of privacy.
The We Don’t Talk Anymore crooner and the Beeb are teaming up for a one-hour Christmas special, which will see the 82-year-old perform his classic festive hits.
The programme comes four years after the Congratulations hitmaker won his court case against the public service broadcaster and was awarded more than £2 million in damages and legal costs.
The judge ruled that the BBC had breached the Holiday performer’s privacy during the reporting of the South Yorkshire Police raid in 2014 on his Sunningdale home in Berkshire, which was part of an investigation into historical child sex allegations.
Sir Cliff had been investigated but cleared as part of Operation Yewtree and one of its subsequent investigations, which were launched 10 years ago in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
