  • 1970s hello/goodbye

    From J. P. Gilliver (John)@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 11 21:31:15 2021
    Not really technical, but I thought people here are probably more likely
    to know than anywhere else ...

    Sometime in the 1970s, around a new year, one of the programmes like
    Nationwide did a version of (I think it was) the Beatles' "you say
    goodbye, I say hello", but with stills of people (mostly politicians,
    but some others, such as scientists) who had come and gone (in some
    cases died) during the preceding year.

    Anyone got it, or know its YouTube address? (I expect it's there, but
    it's hard to search for.)

    I do remember that, but cannot remember which channel it was, maybe the copyright holders pinged them.

    Personally I'm surprised nobody as written new words to Piggies by the
    Beatles which as you might imagine is all about the elite getting their
    snouts in the trough.
