Have scoured the Christmas/New Years tv listings and it doesn’t seem to be on unfortunately! I did notice that Half a Sixpence (the film) was shown on bb4 on New Year’s Day a few years back. Maybe there’s been a bit of a mix up. Slightly sad about it but maybe it means there will be a dvd. Fingers crossed!

Following the screening of the archive footage of the show, there is talk of it being further edited and shown this Christmas according to Baz. We've heard this before, but nice to see its still a possibility! Hopefully we will be lucky enough to even get a DVD ala Gypsy after they broadcast on TV.

There was definitely rumour of it screening last Christmas which I got my hopes up about, lets hope this year it comes to fruition!

The show does seem to be getting a rebrand as they prepare to give this version a longer life by releasing it
It appears to be changing to become KIPPS - The New Half A Sixpence Musical (as indicated by that tweet)
Not sure what impact that will have on how it appeals to audiences... we shall see

I noticed on a Facebook post this is now available for amateur productions using the title above... Anyone know why the title has changed?

Because the original version is still available so they had to differentiate between the two.

It could be that they wanted a title that wouldn't make it sound dated a few years from now.

Cameron's vanity at having "saved the show"?

It could be that they wanted a title that wouldn't make it sound dated a few years from now Which kinda struck out "Half A Euro." Well a sixpence and a euro will probably have the same value soon.

Well David Heneker who wrote the original music and lyrics is bareley credited in the reincarnation.
