A magic moment in television history. The year is 1982, the show is Parkinson, the guests are Roy Castle, Kenny Everett and Buddy Rich. Plus a special surprise guest who makes his big entrance 2m 25s in. Explaining further would spoil the fun. Just watch it and enjoy it. Apologies for the rotten quality.

Sammy Davis Jr leads Max Harris' 'Dee Time' orchestra in an utterly-unrehearsed version of the then-new Bacharach/David number 'This Guy's In Love With You'. The band is sight-reading, Sammy's winging it, and the result is magic.

Video duration: 129 seconds

Johnny Pearson's TOTP orchestra playing 'El Bimbo' by Bimbo Jet in 1975. Not a great piece of music, but a superb clip for a game of spot the session legend. So far I've got: Clem Cattini on drums, Derek Warne on electric piano, Bobby Lamb and Rick Kennedy on trombones, Kenny Wheeler, Ian Hamer and Leon Calvert on trumpets. Not sure who the southpaw bassist is. Any thoughts?
