Notes: Ringo was once again a guest on this Cilla Black special episode from her latest series which was filmed in Sweden, Finland and Norway.
Ringo`s segment begins with Ringo & Cilla and some typical barely funny scripted dialogue and then they are
joined by the puppet fox "Basil Brush" for more nonsense then a performance of "The Snowman Song" (1:14 mins).
Immediately following this is specially filmed footage of Ringo performing his then new single
"It Don`t Come Easy" (2:56) whilst playing piano in the snow, skiing and riding around on a snow mobile.
Contrary to rumours this version of "It Don`t Come Easy" is identical to the single. The entire show, in good quality, is in collectors hands but has not been bootlegged.
Both songs were also excerpted and shown on "Top of The Pops".
"The Snowman Song" was also re-broadcast in a 2015 BBC tribute special called "Cilla at The BBC".
