"Danny Kaye International Children Award for Unicef" (1990) Presenters: Audrey Hepburn and Roger Moore. I remember watching this annual award show as a kid. Possibly the 1988 edition, the first one, a year after Danny Kaye passed away. And the last edition was possibly the 1992 one. Her last appearance, 2 months before she passed away. Even though, apparently, shown in countries all over the world, I think it was more of a Dutch thing. They recorded the shows in the Netherlands and the voice-overs have got Dutch accents. A video of the preparations for the 1988 edition can be found here. All in Dutch, including Audrey Hepburn :) Can't find much else, sadly.

We're going on a bar hunt. We're going to find a cool one. The babysitter's booked. We're not old! Bestselling authors Emlyn Rees and Josie Lloyd also happen to be parents, so they understand the complications of organising a rare night out. In this parody of the famous children's book, two parents set off for a night on the tiles, and encounter a series of watering holes and bars before an alarming encounter with a 'bear' sends them running home to their children. Gillian Johnson is the author and illustrator of the successful Monster Hospital and Thora series for children. Her illustrations bring this story to life, gently parodying the original but adding an anarchic edge as the evening progresses. We're not going on a bar hunt again!
