MEET THE KIDS

 

Meet the kids was a TV program in the 1960’s broadcast live from a Children’s hospital on Christmas morning.

It was hosted by well-known comedian Lesley Crowther who went from bed to handing out presents and chatting to the sick children.

He would also do lighthearted interviews with various members of staff but the show was principally about the children.

The whole show lasted little more than half an hour and it would normally end with a choir of nurses singing carols around the Christmas tree.

It was Heartwarming stuff but probably deemed to be to twee for sophisticated 21st century audiences.
