Q: I recently discovered that Paul and Linda McCartney hosted an episode of Disney Time in the UK on Boxing Day 1973. Can you tell me anything about this series and episode? Can it be seen anywhere?

A: Disney Time was a series of holiday TV specials produced in England, with guest hosts presenting clips from Disney films. It began with a Christmas show in 1964. Most of the hosts were from British television shows for kids. But there were also internationally-known celebrities; besides Paul and Linda McCartney doing the Boxing Day show in 1973, other prominent hosts included Peter Ustinov, Bing Crosby, Shari Lewis, and Cliff Richard. The shows are not available for viewing.
