Reg Varney is best known for his acting on the British sitcom "On The Buses". He's also a talented pianist and he uses this to good effect on his Christmas special.

Other guests include Kenneth McKellar, Pat Coombs, Elizabeth Counsell, David Lodge and Frank Thornton. The Osmonds also have a pre-recorded performance.

Olivia performs Take Me Home Country Roads and joins in the sing-a-long of traditional songs accompanied by Reg on the piano. Olivia really gets into the sing-a-long, dancing and singing loudly. It looks like she's really enjoying herself.

The Medley includes You Made Me Love You which is a very different (upbeat, faster) than the version Olivia recorded for Xanadu.
