and Everett dressed in a chicken outfit. A Best of... compilation aired in some regions after the end of the series. The following year, series one won the BAFTA television award for Best Light Entertainment Programme. Series 2 Prior to the second series, the programme returned on New Year's Day 1979 in most ITV regions (except Scottish Television, which aired the special on 7 January 1979) with the Didn't Quite Make it in Time for Christmas Video Show, which also aired in a shortened version on 18 April 1979 - as ITV's entry for the Golden Rose of Montreux. Series Two began at 7:00pm on Monday 19 February 1979 with an extended ten-episode run (30 minutes per episode) and a greater reliance on comedy material. Series 3 The Video Show returned at 11:00pm on New Year's Eve 1979 with an hour-long special, Will Kenny Everett Make it to 1980? on most of the ITV network. Scottish Television aired it the following afternoon while Grampian Television opted out of the final part on its original transmission. Series 3 ran for eight episodes, starting at 7:00pm on Monday 18 February 1980. Series 4: Video Cassette Everett's last New Year's special, The Kenny Everett New Year's Daze Show aired at 11:50pm on New Year's Eve 1980 over most of the ITV network. Ulster Television never aired this special, while Grampian and Scottish broadcast it two days later. The final series, renamed The Kenny Everett Video Cassette, saw the show moved to Thursday evenings at 7:30 in a bid to compete with BBC1's Top of the Pops. There was an even greater reliance on comedy with only one musical guest per episode. The Captain Kremmen cartoons were replaced by shorter live-action studio sketches featuring Anna Dawson as Kremmen's assistant Carla. Unhappy with the scheduling of the series, among other concerns, Everett left Thames and moved to BBC Television. VHS and DVD releases During the 1980s, several VHS, Betamax and Laserdisc compilations of the series were released by Thames Video. A six-DVD set containing four series - plus the three New Year specials - was released in November 2018. These are edited down, however, due to licensing issues restricting the use of certain musical acts in some episodes.
