There is a special release Blu-Ray with the song on it but between video and DVD the song was found to have too much of an emotional impact on the kiddies and so it was scratched from the DVD and Blu-Ray releases until the 25th/30th anniversary release just a couple of years ago.
The song itself is absolutely fundamental to the overall story in not only storytelling but it music overture tones. The film is still fabbie without it but far from what it is with it in
Believe me /., you'll thank me for making sure that is the copy you watch this coming Christmas.
I don't know if Disney+ has it on, but they do have a whole range of Muppet movies in their library and so ask a friend or do a bit of research to make sure it's the full version without spoilering any of the story (You probably know the story anyway, but just be careful
).

Brilliant Ricky!
Well there we have it. Said song is an extra (Still keeps that emotional impact away from the kiddies if need be) and you can get the whole lot on a convenient package.
I might do it this Christmas and finally catch Andor while I'm at it

Well Bobby once spent Christmas on the beach…back when he was in Australia!
It was ok though because people were going around selling Santa hats for people to buy and feel more Christmassy.
I've spent more than a few Crimbos in the very warm shade of palm trees at the beach Ricky
I still watch freezing cold Victorian street urchins running around on screen saying "Gov'nah" while eating my chilled uni and wasabi bites and sipping local beer though
I've seen some kids dressed up at Halloween in places you'd never expect to
But, back to Blighty now and mustn't grumble, not I can drink hot wine or wider and eat pork pies without having to worry about maggots growing in them - oh! And a Doctor Who special on the day too

Speaking of Doctor Who, I picked up some old Target novelisations from a vintage shop in York. They sold all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff there.

Was it a vintage shop in the Victorian time slip? Because they might have some of that The Other Doctor stuff starring the voice of Bob The Builder Ricky
Bobby would have loved to have gotten some antique stuff from that Doctor
Or was it a modern vintage shop set nowadays which has stuff from not too long ago but still manages to sell it as if it's new?

It’s kind of a cross between the two and yet neither of them.
It’s easier if I just show you one of the items that they had for sale….hold on…. -

I'm pretty sure coconuts are racist Ricky
Something about Suella Braverman and Richi Sunak being called them, or not called them, or something.
You should probably not let anyone see it or you'll be branded a Jim Davidson fan (Or Something).
…That all said you could just pretend it's a Gollywog that's a bit different and people will be fine with it. I mean who doesn't like Robinson's marmalades and jams?

Well if you look at the tag, it says ‘vintage golly’ and he’s 20 odd pounds. Maybe I should have bought him.
There’s a small museum in the upstairs of a collectibles shop in Blackpool. It’s got all sorts of memorabilia. It used to have a glass cabinet filled with Robertsons Golly stuff, but when me and Bobby last visited Blackpool we had a look upstairs in that shop and the Golly collection had gone. We saw it hidden away in the workshop bit out of eyeshot with a sign on saying ‘display cabinet for sale’. -

Somebody must have bought all the Gollywogs then Ricky and the cabinet wasn't much of an eyecatcher without them
Is that a Ghostbusters annual beneath your coconutwog (Sorry about the coconut thing, either the saying it or the not (
) )?
It looks fairly modern judging from the colour scheme used

No. The cabinet still had all of the Robertsons Gollywog memorabilia still in! That was the weird thing. It had all sorts in like badges, plates, figurines etc…
Oh yeah it might have been, it looks like a ghostbusters action figure to me. I only noticed the doll. It had a bit of everything in, some old stuff, some not as old…a real bric-a-brac of an Aladdins cave of a shop.
It had a battered old Whizzer and Chips annual, a collection of old 70s UK Marvel comics, a couple of 70s signs from a shop…don’t know what shop.
Do you want to see what it looked like from the outside? -

If you have a picture of it from outside that would be swell Ricky

Ok. By the way the GB thing looks like a dolly on inspection. I edited my post to say that but you might have missed that. I’ll get the picture but I need to do it with my phone, hold on… -

It does look a bit like an action figure now that you mention it Ricky
I'm guessing Egon but it would be a newer set of GBers since they've done that now (Apparently!).

There’s another picture of a better look at the window stock, but you can see Bobby and I reflected in the window in that one, so I’m not showing that.
