Lift Off with Ayshea

(Granada pop show, 1969-74)

Episode: At Last It's Christmas
Scot Fergie found this gem from Christmas 1968 in the Granada Visual Archive, featuring Manchester Corporation:
“The cast of the studio show 'At last it's Friday' hold a party on a double decker bus. The bus - a brand-new red-and-white, sixpence-in-the-slot Mancunian model drives around Manchester picking up guest stars and passengers for a Christmas Eve party on wheels. Kenny Lynch has his finger on the bell as a musical bus conductor, and Manchester's Freddie Garritty is among the pop people on board. The Derek Hilton bandsmen are also on the bus, as well as some surprise guests.”
