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.

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".
