Four songs from the Christmas Special:
A Marshmallow World by Bing Crosby. Written in 1949 by Carl Sigman (lyrics) and Peter DeRose (music), it was a hit for Bing at Christmas 1950.
C'est Magnifique by Peggy Lee from her 1960 album Latin ala Lee! Written by Cole Porter for his 1953 musical Can-Can.
Wipeout by The Sarfaris. Written by Bob Berryhill, Pat Connolly, Jim Fuller and Ron Wilson. A Hit for The Surfaris in January 1962.
Sealed with a Kiss by Brian Hyland. Written by Peter Udell and Gary Geld, it reached no 3 in the UK singles chart in 1962.
The episode is set in the winter of early 1963 when it started to snow just after Christmas 1962. It then froze and the country was in the grip of icy conditions for over two months. One of the coldest winters on record. I had just turned 18 and did a paper round six mornings a week. I never missed a day. Amazing what you could do at that age.
