Cliff At Christmas

[Bazile]

On BBC2

I thought the BBC had fallen out with Cliff Richard and was not playing his songs on the network

[robsmom]

He was on BBC2 last night , so must have made up.

I don't mind Cliff. He's that old he's become a national treasure. He's wearing very well for his age - and if that is partly due to 'outside help' - he's still wearing well for his age.

Roo, people make rude comments about stars I like, but I don't take it they are rude about me. I just cant understand Cliffs popularity with older women, or anyone else. I absolutely love Tom Jones. There are loads of people who can't understand it and tell me so. It's not personal.

"2 new Christmassy ones he has written for his new album"

Which songs has Cliff written on his new album?

[Hazlinny]

Think one's "Heart of Christmas"

[Redhelen72]

Shudder he gives me the heebie jeebies

[tiggerblue10]

I like some of his stuff from the 60s and 70s but it's the Christmassy ones that I don't like.

[JimF]

Heart of Christmas was written by Jesse Reeves.

[MissTerious2]

Me too Red!

[roopower]

Just to set the record striaght - Cliff didn't write any of the three songs on his new album......

[Redhelen72]

I think he has paid a lot of money to cover up some dark secrets

[bhg481]

I like most of what he's done, particularly the early stuff and I enjoyed last night's programme.

[maggiebee]

Aye, love him or hate him he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

[MissTerious2]

Roo, on a radio interview I listened to he said he had written two new songs for the album and he hoped people would like them. He then sang one of them. I think it was 'First Christmas'. I found it really pathetic.

[roopower]

If he has written them, he has no credit on the album.

[MissTerious2]

I've read that Jesse Reeves wrote heart of Christmas. I can't find anything for the other two except he wrote the lyrics. Now I can't find where Ì found that. But I'm quite sure of what I heard on the radio. I believe it was the Zoe Ball slot either that or Dermot OLeary . Anyway he sung it.

[Arksided]

This was awesome:

[Vagus]

Maybe he’s a very nice bloke, he’s obviously very popular and pretty rich, but I have never particularly liked him, and the older he gets the more creepy I find him.

RedHelen, what dark secrets might you be talking about? My husband knew him and The Shadows back in the day. Jet Harris was an especially close friend. There is not a whiff of scandal about Cliff.
