33 1⁄3 Revolutions per Monkee is a television special starring the Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969. Produced by Jack Good, guests on the show included Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, the Clara Ward Singers, the Buddy Miles Express, Paul Arnold and the Moon Express, and We Three. Although they were billed as musical guests, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger (alongside their then-backing band The Trinity) found themselves playing a prominent role; in fact, it can be argued that the special focused more on the guest stars (specifically, Auger and Driscoll) than the Monkees themselves. This special is notable as the Monkees' final performance as a quartet until 1986, as Peter Tork left the group at the end of the special's production. The title is a play on "33 1⁄3 revolutions per minute."
"The Helene Fischer Show" on Christmas Day with Germany's most popular entertainer and a varied program. Helene Fischer has put together a mixture of lots of music, spectacular artistry, surprising duets and great musical productions for her audience. For the first time, the show will be broadcast from the exhibition hall in Düsseldorf. The popular entertainer has invited a whole host of national and international musical guests to perform unprecedented duets with her and provide plenty of emotion and goosebump moments.
In the show, Europe's most successful pop star enchants the people in front of the TV with her music in the intimate atmosphere of a theater. Helene Fischer relies on a special collaboration for a glittering evening: as music supervisor, Stefan Raab designs the live performance of the songs from her new album "Rausch" together with Helene Fischer. On stage, the artist will perform these unique versions of her songs with a live band. This show will not only be a musical highlight. In conversation with Steven Gätjen, Helene Fischer will give her fans unusual insights into her life and career on this evening: What meaning do the individual songs have for the singer? What makes "Rausch" probably her most personal album?

Hammond and May host a special episode featuring two films that had been completed prior to the dismissal of their absent colleague.

In the second film, the trio see which is the best second-hand 4x4 SUV on a budget of £250 - Clarkson pics a Vauxhall Frontera Sport RS, May chooses a Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin, and Hammond drives a Jeep Cherokee - facing a series of challenges that concludes with a race in which the loser must conduct an awkward after-dinner speech at their destination.
