Sinopsis
Maya Rudolph's take on the variety show special with guest stars in the vein of the Carol Burnett Show.
Chewbacca y Han Solo viajan a Kashyyyk, el planeta natal de Chewie, para celebrar el Life Day (una especie de navidad wookie). Pero Darth Vader, convertido en una especie de Scrooge intergaláctico, ha decidido capturarlos. El especial continuaba con números musicales, largos diálogos en lenguaje wookie, así como un segmento de animación. Oscuro especial para televisión basado en el universo Star Wars. Contó con los mismos actores de las películas, si bien George Lucas reniega de él y, tras su primera y única emisión en 1978, censuró su repetición para siempre.
Londres, 1937. Una rica e influyente dama que acaba de quedarse viuda (Judi Dench) y que necesita ocupar su tiempo, decide comprar un viejo teatro londinense con la ayuda de un hábil mánager, Vivian Van Damm, un experto del mundo del espectáculo, a quien desconciertan las maneras excéntricas y poco corteses de la señora Henderson. Van Damm llega a prohibirle asistir a los ensayos debido a sus continuas injerencias, pero ella se disfraza para espiarlo. Esta relación de amor-odio producirá una renovación histórica en el teatro británico. La idea de Van Damm de hacer funcionar el teatro todo el día tiene tal éxito que los demás teatros la copian.
El ilusionista Derren Brown inventa un experimento psicológico en el que trata de manipular a una persona común para que reciba una bala en lugar de un extraño.
In 1977, Bette Midler's first television special premiered, featuring guest stars Dustin Hoffman and Emmett Kelly. It went on to win Bette her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Special — Comedy-Variety or Music. To make the show palatable to home viewers, the special featured heavily cleaned up versions of the material Midler was performing at that time on stage. The title of the show, Ol' Red Hair is Back, was a takeoff on the title of Frank Sinatra's recent album Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back.
