So, 'A Carlton New Year' is this quirky live special that aired on January 1, 1993, marking Carlton Television's debut in London. It's a fascinating mix of comedy, music, and a touch of the bizarre, really. You've got performances by Take That and Paul McCartney, which were quite the deal back then. The pacing shifts from musical numbers to sketches, and it's all a bit chaotic but in a good way. The flea circus? Yeah, that's a real standout—a practical effect that's just bizarre enough to be memorable. Chris, the presenter, holds it all together with his charm, providing that late-night atmosphere that feels both celebratory and a bit offbeat. It's a nostalgic snapshot of early '90s variety shows.
