That year the ABC also broadcast a ten-minute TV play, The Little Woodcarver written by Keith Smith, about a shepherd boy who lived in the Alps; and An Old Man and Christmas, starring Lou Vernon.

Reception
The Canberra Times said the production "provided a feast for the eye that was not overshadowed by the musical fare. Faull is particularly at home in exploiting the technical resources that television offers."
