The Roundworld Wizzard
Just a thought, but it occurs to me that an actually, not bad, British rock group called Wizzard[1] - yes, they did spell it with two "z"'s - had one of the quintessential Christmas hit singles, with I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day[2] sometime around 1973. Like Slade with Merry Christmas Everyone!, Wizzard hit the jackpot: this is one of those songs that gets played every year at Christmas, year in, year out, with benefical effects on the bank balances of all involved. Lead singer Roy Wood, a veteran of the Move and a founder member of Brummie rockers the Electric Light Orchestra, never had to work again after this one song. (Wood is the one who looks like a combination of U.U. wizard and the Hogfather).
I can't see Terry ignoring this bit of potent British trivia - so it's back to my copy of ((H)) to se if any Wizard or other character uses the line I Wish It Could Be Hogswatch Every Day! --AgProv 21:37, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
