Day Two: Canine Christmas Carols!

MY SCATTERED AND TOTALLY IRRELEVANT NOTES:

This is a 1-minute YouTube video from 1978, created for a BBC gag reel for their Christmas Party. What we get here is Tom Baker serving K9 a drink straight from the bottle and John Leven singing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" in K9’s voice, while Mary Tamm spends the entire clip smiling awkwardly and never uttering a word.

Is it funny? Not particularly. Is it Christmassy? I guess a little. Is it awkward? A bit, yes. Is it essential? Not at all. Is it an interesting piece of Doctor Who-related trivia for your Christmas-themed quiz nights? Well, it could be.
