Princess Anne's wedding day

[kitty1950]

This is showing my age now. I pulled a sickie from work on 14th Nov 1973 so I could watch the whole of the royal wedding and I remember a programme that was shown in between the coverage, it was about animals eating ripe fruit that had fallen from trees and staggering around drunk, it was hilarious, I'd love to see it again, does anyone else remember it.

Sure it wasn't the reception!?!?!?

I had a day off school but don't remember much about it!

Very funny Alibobs, wish I'd have thought of it.

Hi 12 characters, I have a feeling that this is what I am looking for so many thanks to you. XXXXX

I saw that programme kitty, it was also on at Christmas around 1980.
As well as showing 'exotic' animals there were pigs and goats and so on.

I distinctly remember these animals waking up with a nasty headache and looking a bit green.

I think it was an American commentator, but it was definitely a documentary.

I don't think its the one 12characters refers too.

I hate to say it...but I'm sure they repeated it for Chuck & Di's wedding too.I remember calling round to collect a mate on the way to the pub at lunchtime (as it was considered a national holiday) & seeing a similar programme.Hmmmmm...I could be wrong tho...as I think I seemed to be in a drunken blur in those days!

Ethel it is definitely the one that 12 characters mentioned. It is for sale on ebay but it's a swedish copy so i'm not sure if I will put in a bid, will try and order from W H Smith. It was hilarious though wasn't it.

Spikey88, I think you must have imbibed a bit too much on your way to pick up your mate that day 'cos I watched every minute of coverage and I would have remembered if it had been on, if you get a chance to see it then do so it was sooooooo funny.

Don't you all just love Alibobs response.
