Can Danny Partridge replace Kid Bubblegum as Echo Valley intern? Enjoy
the Echo Valley Christmas Special that almost wasn't! The Professor is a
little down (with Kid Bubblegum gone), a little tired (having caught

time (though you wouldn't think me ill-used if I were to dock him half a
crown for it!). A dramatic reading of the official program for the 1969
Boyce and Hart Vegas Christmas Show that ended their career! We
eavesdrop on a Christmas phone call between Betty Cooper and Archie
Andrew's mom! Plenty of great bubblegum music from ABBA before they were
