C-c-c-catch the Wave, People !! It’s the most m-m-m-m-merriest time of the year and VHS Rewind is proud to be spending this holiday reviewing M-M-M-Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey 1986. This is, indeed, a strange bird of a special with the faux computer-generated host singing songs (some of which are actually Christmas-flavored and one of which, “Merry Christmas Santa Claus (You’re a Lovely Guy”) actually released as a single, getting sch-sch-sch-schmaltzy with kids and conducting the strangest interviews with the likes of Bob Geldof (why?) and Dave Edmunds (who?) (this special originally aired on British television so I can only assume that those two guests were word-famous in London at this time). But then, M-M-Max “interviews” (not sure that is the right word) Robin Williams (well into his cocaine habit and c-c-cutting loose with some horrifically un-PC schtick) and Tina Turner (well into her c-c-c-cocaine habit as she cannot stop laughing – seemingly with no reason– throughout her appearance). B-b-b-best of all, we get to experience UK-based telly commercials as they aired back then! So sit back with g-g-g-good cheer AND LOVE in your heart and enjoy this b-b-bag of coal. Merry Christmas, Santa Claus, you are one love-love-lovely guy. Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey was originally aired on December 26, 1986The post Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey first appeared on VHS Rewind!.
