- This is the complete television program as broadcast by HTV in 1986. The drama was based on the short story by Hans Christian Anderson and written in 1975 by Jeremy Paul, Leslie Stewart and Keith Strachan as a stage musical. It contains, among others, the song Mistletoe and Wine later recorded by Cliff Richard which became the top selling record of 1988 in the UK.
I had the pleasure of working on this. I was in the sound department at HTV at the time and did a lot of the boom mic work. This was the edited version for the US market with the explanation from Micheal Horden of the plot at the beginning and some cuts and editing to the original.
Great work! Thank you xxx
I love this and watched it hundreds of times on video growing up.♡☆
My family and I love this soooo much. I converted the vhs to dvd to share with them years ago. I will continue to watch this and cry at the end for years to come
I thought it had been edited!!! I had this on VHS and thought the scenes were in a different order than when I watched it as a child. It's only because I watched it so much that I knew it was different in places!!
Yes I had the vhs too and the scene with the two snobs was cut out. I didn’t really care for the song but saw some changes too. This was the most magical film for me and my sister we used to go to the video shop and rent this every Friday that the owner eventually gave it to us. We still love this so much and it’s one of my top 3 childhood films. Absolutely charming, sad, magical and unique. A certain authenticity you don’t get anymore. Great casting too. The scene where the little match girl gets the new shoes in her dream, has that been shortened as I believe i remember seeing the actual shoes themselves more clearly. I just got my daughter some sparkly shoes today and it made me think of the ones from this film and I went to check and can barely see them in this version. Thankyou by the way for being a part of such a wonderful film that has been such a part of all our childhoods and adulthoods 😊
I've been watching this since I was a kid and I still can't get through the end without bawling my eyes out!
Twiggy smashed this 💥 and so did the little match girl. Such a talent and amazing voices 🙏🏽❤️
I watch this every year. Grew up with it. Always had a crush on Arthur :) and was obsessed with Twiggy
My sister and I are thrilled this is available on TH-cam! We rented this VHS by chance from the library in the early 90s. We just kept renewing it so the librarians just told us to keep it. The music is the best!
+Angela Taylor We rented this so many times that when our local movie store close down they gave us the VHS. Still watch it every year!!! Love it!
We taped off the TV, VHS, and watched it every year too. I'm only allowed to watch alone now, my sister moved home to England and nobody else I know has seen it or will watch it with me... I recite the whole movie lol
I had a flash back for some crazy reason ...me and my bothers used to watch over and over again can't wait to re watch it with my little girl at Xmas
Childhood memories 🥰 2022 anyone? It’s Nov. 2022 and I’m here singing all the songs @ 2am 😅 God bless the little match girl 😇👑
It's 4:53am and I'm jamming 😁
We own a copy of this on VHS and it has been a tradition at our home for over 15 years to listen to this the night we set up the Christmas tree! The kids have all grown and left the nest but those that live close by still come over to watch this every Christmas season!! As always we have a good cry!
+Chantal Brandon Wish we could get another copy cause ours is getting so old that we now miss a few parts.
+Chantal Brandon from here you can download , i watch it every week :)
It is a tradition for my sisters and mother and I also.🎄🥂❤
I remember watching this as a child, and it just popped into my head. Thought I’d see if it was on here - and it is!! Thank you
Omg just happened to me lol 🤣
Very good film, the real stark story of children who are neglected, abused, and so fearful of their parents that they'd rather risk being hungry and freeze in the cold, hoping someone comes to rescue them. Great acting too, and soooooo sad.
Of all the versions of this story I’ve seen this is my absolute favourite cry my eyes out at the end every time
I loved loved this movie so much that I learned all the songs.. such a good casting and capture of what it was like during the industrial times
Meanwhile this week i have seen all the available editions of THE MATCH GIRL.
I am sure this is the best because of the presentation , story and Phenomenal songs.
When it was released many people didn't had TVs even if some had they cant watch this again and again like i see it today , everyday. This melancholic representation of old cultures , a sad story with sad songs can make anyone depress. Europe is better now , but still in other parts of world many people are facing the same thing or worst even today!
I don;t why two people disliked this video , This is so good but not easily available , I even got it after one and half year. Thanks sir - Keith Strachan
International Trailers Its still left a psycholigical smudge on Europe and America, and everywhere else thats industrializing and siliconizing now.
And I'm still in love with Arthur; which makes me feel weird since he is so young in this movie. :)
Lol
Exactly! I feel weird but he’s just so lovely
My favourite film of all time, I have ruined many a VHS re watching it in my childhood and I have passed my love on to my daughter. I am truly for grateful for the memories this provides. Brilliant production, brilliant cast and brilliant songs.
I still remember every single song including the words! Favourite song has got to be the saddest one are you an angel I still cry to this day listening and to this!
That’s my favourite song to. I’ve just watched it and I’m blubbing like a right idiot lol.
My nan got into this when I was younger and when she’s noticed me watching it over and over she’s gave me the vhs she had of it saying to Amy love nana… she died not long after. After moving houses I lost the tape.. and find this. Might not have the tape anymore but I have memories of watching this and singing it with her 🥹
Thank you Amy. Your message brought a tear to my eye. 😢
@@ohboy4291 I always cry at the end of the film but when I mention this film no one knows what I’m on about 🤍
@@amymarshall8193 download it! Such a magical sad story
I too saw this one in the 90's. It still to this day makes me cry like a baby! I love all of the songs as well! Thank you for sharing this Keith.
In childhood, someone showed me an old used video of this and I am so pleased to find it after all this time! I never forgot the Queen song. Thank you for sharing it 🕯
It's a GREAT production! An old and gold one!
I absolutely love this film 🎥 I had it on DVD but can't find I'm so happy it's on here, I breakdown at the end everytime 😭💕
My mum watched this movie all the time as a kid as it was the only vhs she owned and then when I was a kid she found a dvd and we used to watch it together all the time now I come back and watch it on here all the time. One of my all time favourites. Always has me balling at the end.
I still have this on VHS, my favourite music from a musical ever. I would of loved it if they made this longer but I love it nonetheless lol. ❤
I remember having this on VHS (I'm 21 now) and I loved it so much. This has brought back so many memories.
21 now?? Sound like you were in the world every since this my first time watching it an I'm 42
@@donnahusbands3635 I’m 25 now. But I had tapes before DVD and I would watch this film during Christmas (sometimes more) but I couldn’t remember the name for a while (No idea why) until lockdown.
I Love The Song Called Queen Of The Street From This Movie
My nan owned this on VHS and I remember watching it as a child. We lost her back in April and I’ve wanted to watch this for so long I think I will tonight but I know I’m going to need tissues
My mother loves this version the most, shame it never made it to bluray or HD streaming
Thank you for uploading this amazing tale on to TH-cam. I thought it was impossible to come across this one on this site! Thanks again!
The tearjerker Christmas story.
I loved this very sad thanks for the video 😊😊😊👍👍👍
I loved the film The little match girl. I am sad that they don't show it on T.V at Christmas it would let the children of today realise
how lucky they are.
I just adore this. Wonder what ever happened to Arthur.
the author of the book based this off of a girl he knew in real life, they tried to interview him about it but he would break down crying. my guess is that HE was Arthur, and regrets not being there in her time of need resulting in her death. as evidenced in the scene where shes dyng and keeps shouting out for Arthur and dreaming of him.
I remembered this from a long time ago when I was little
Thanks love this musical!
In case anyone wondered what became of them, Arthur runs a dance studio out in Spain and the Match Girl is now an executive assistant at Bloomsbury.
Been looking for this since 1991.
"What're you doing down here?!"
"WORKING!!"
I died.
I had this in video as a child it was my favourite musical film. I’ve just watched this one again I cried I forgot how great it was 😊
Love this film so much! Was a massive part of my child and brings back precious memories with my Nan xxx
Thank you for sharing this video on TH-cam Keith. I remember seeing it in video as a kid and LOVED it. I think more people should do this musical. captivating songs. love it. :)
I'm crying wow so sad 😫😫😫
Keith this is absolutely gorgeous. Twiggy did such a good job as Josie (great name by the way). I'd love to see Scraps performed on Broadway or something.
I used to work with a josie roberts so when I watched this just I remembered her.
Anyone else coming back to watch this because they want Christmas to get here as quick as possible because 2020 sucks and we need to get the new year here like yesterday??
Wow!!!! In all of my 35years, Today I learnt the little match girl died at the end. I’m heartbroken. I used to think she was asleep on her mum and her dad was shouting noOooo because they were out in the cold 🙈 (innocent minds hey)
Theres only one version i know in which she survives the night, but she becomes corrupted instead and always hangs out with the puss in boots.
Wait...what?
I read the original tale as a child, so I knew she died, but you didn't know?
Arthur was my crush 😻 😂
He has a youtube channel, owns a dance studio out in Spain or something. He's still as charismatic as ever. The little match girl is now an executive assistant at Bloomsbury.
I am directing a production of The Little Match Girl at the Tabard Theatre, Chiswick, London this year (2017) which will be performing from 7 Dec till 31 December. Book now.
i kinda wish a production of this could make it to the US
though when you listen to the concept tracks on your site
i kinda wish that the film had some of the other songs
With the same songs? I cannot believe I missed this.
Is this musical available to produce in the U.S.?
I suppose Natalie's old enough now to play Twiggy's part 🙂
@@StephenSE9 oof thats true now isnt it?
Love "Mistletoe and Wine" from this. And I mean THIS version of it, not the pop song treacle.
I watched this as a kid, and absolutely loved it! Soo happy to have found it again. Thank you so much for uploading!
little match g9irl is my favourite Christmas film I love this film
I saw an earlier version of this film in the mid 1970s. I can't find the earlier version. It is a very sad story and is still relevent to this day. As today there are thousands of impoverished Big Issue sellers who are trying to make a living selling a magazine in all weather including snow and rain. As well as thousands of destitute beggars on the streets of our towns and cities across the whole of this country. It is a shame that even in 21st century extreme poverty is still with us. But luckily now there are far more charities helping the homeless and destitute. In 1845 when this story was written all there was was the workhouse. Charities for the poor like the Salvation Army were still decades away.
My mom always said I had the body type of Twiggy. THIS MOVIE IS A SIGN!!!
I used to have a twiggy body but at age 25 I turned into Delta Burke. Lol
Beautiful memories of London and Cardiff. Thanks for uploading this. Love from Liza Fairbrother ;-)
1midge1 Nicola Dawn. How are you?
Very good Thanks. x
This is so wonderfully depressing , Thanx Mr Keith Strachan . for such a awesome artistic songs.
Happy Xmas SIr, :) and everyone. :) , Stay healthy always .🎅💝
Its great you have this up cause me and my family really wanted to match it
I wish I could find this on DVD in the US. We had the VHS in the 90s and I watched it every Christmas season.
Send your address to keith_strachan@hotmail.com and I’ll post one
I'm so glad I've found this! Thank you for uploading it. I love this movie one of my all time favorites!
I love this film and am 17 years old
I've never saw this in my life
I bought this video, I enjoy it very much
God Natalie Morse Is Adorable
I havent seen this in years ❤
The Little Match Girl live action film 2020 please
Theres never been a big budget film made of this story. At best theres like a english sub of a dutch dub of a german version of the danish original.
But someone should make a big film version for a theatrical release. Id go see it day 1.
Will we ever get a cast recording for this show?
Is it just me or does Are You An Angel has a very similar chorus to Phantom of the Opera.
Just beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the saddest movie I've watched after Hatchiko😢😢😢
We’re Actually doing this as a Christmas play
Good luck. If you need anything email me at keith@strachan.org
Well, if Phantom and Angel are in any way similar, Are You an Angel came first.
One of my favourite movies! I watch this every Christmas. Was a soundtrack ever released???
This Made Me Cry At The End
Oh it's happened with me too so don't cry dude !
I don't think this is ever happened to anyone.
Yesterday i downloaded this movie from here, Tonight i watched this, and was searching for SINGER who sung the song , but i didn't found :(. Then i searched Ms (Natalie morse- THhe match girl) i didnt found about her , where and how is she now. Then I tried to know who made this so good music, at the end of movie I saw name of Music director. Mr Keith Strachan , as it in not common to my native place ( INDIA) , I forgot the name but studied all about him on google :). Today i was commenting on some video , I was posting link to this video and i realized , This video is uploaded by You sir :) , and yes i got update that Keith strachan +1 your comment. I am very happy to see that you are interacting with people. I was just wishing if could talk to anyone of the person related to this movie, but i already interacted with you. I hope you are Fine and well sir, and will make more music. I wish you have more of the good things in your life :).
I happened on this story I know that I was much younger then today yet this one particular story stuck in my mined. I felt what the girl was experiencing and all her innocense, she couldn't go ho me until she sold every last match. Mostly I beilieve in the spiritual worldq Cp

Ya know... i dont know if this is just coincidental
But the doll charlotte is holding kinda resembles the matchgirl
1:13:28- 1:16:43
That is so so sweet!!
Why can't I find the music anywhere? Would love to have the soundtrack on the background while working. Like have the album on Spotify or something. Anyone?
Is this story meant to be a happy one? Or have the effect of making me cry uncontrollably every time i watch it, bringing me down to my last pack of Kleenex?
The program is available on DVD at Amazon.
In the US too, or only in the UK?
Yes, on amazon.co.uk OR amazon.com
Another question: where can I buy the soundtrack? I NEED to have this on my iPod!
Sadly there isn't one.
Bryan Ellis You can rip the sound from the video using software or a Firefox browser plug-in. Search which one is the best for your computer.
The musical movie version of The Little Match Girl.
I liked this movie , was looking for the original lyrics to mistletoe and wine I have done a search on the Internet and every time you search even if you put mistletoe and wine original lyrics it always shows cliff's version and I must admit I like the traditional lyrics, the reason I wanted the lyrics as I am writing a peice about mistletoe and wine and the history of it and I wanted to do a comparison and show what had been changed and what remained has anybody got the full lyrics to it I would be most grateful, thanks for uploading this most enjoyable and sad at the same time you can't beat the classics
original lyrics
MISTLETOE AND WINE
CHILDREN SINGING - CHURCH BELLS RINGING
AULD LANG SYNE AND A NEW BEGINNING
CHRISTMAS IS HERE BUT ONCE A YEAR
THE RARITY'S WHAT MAKES IT DEAR
CHRISTMAS TIME - MISTLETOE AND WINE
CHILDREN SINGING CHRISTIAN RHYME
WITH LOGS ON THE FIRE AND GIFTS ON THE TREE
A TIME FOR REJOICING IN ALL THAT WE SEE
A TIME FOR LIVING - A TIME FOR BELIEVING
A TIME FOR TRUSTING AND NOT FOR DECEIVING

TO WARM THE HEARTS OF GOOD, GENTLE FOLK
CHRISTMAS TIME - MISTLETOE AND WINE
CHILDREN SINGING CHRISTIAN RHYME
WITH LOGS ON THE FIRE AND GIFTS ON THE TREE
A TIME FOR REJOICING IN ALL THAT WE SEE
A TIME FOR GIVING - A TIME FOR GETTING

Send an email to keith@strachan.org and I’ll sort some sheet music for you.
I too, would love the sheet music or lyrics!
This movie saved my childhood and is etched into my happiest memories. Is there a way to find an acoustic version of a song from this? Or a music sheet?
Or every song lol
Hi Sarah, I can send you sheet music. Any particular songs?
You can find the songs on the bus which is going to Mars..It leaves Denver bus station at 19:00 hours CT on Christmas eve ..☄💃🏻🥳🌠👽🛸🚌🚍🚎🚐

Roger Daltrey
This is 1987 Movie made in England, isn't it? The actor/actresses speak British Accent.
The story is based on Hans Christian Andersen (Denmark 1805-1875)'s tale.
80'ler sonu televizyonda izlemiştim.
Can I know the name of all the song in that great video ?
The father felt guilty, I think maybe that was it; everytime he saw her. And/or she made him sad to remember her mother.
Lacy McDuffie yea nice , could be a reason
Roger Daltrey did such a good job playing the father. I always knew that he could act, especially after seeing him in the Tommy movie, but I never knew that he could do so well in playing such a serious role as the father
That could be true,its hard to feel too sorry for him.he should have manned up and been a better father.it was sooo common back then for women to die during or not long after childbirth.
Does anyone know the words to the song are you an angel or are you just a dream? I googled for it but couldn't find the lyrics.

This song is enough to make anyone depressed when sitting in cold lonely nights and thinking about your loved ones, who are not with you. suddenly when the girl dies it may also cause heart choke :(.
As an art, this movie , song and yea the famous story is once in a century thing, but only few know about this precious, fine art. and that adds more beauty who know about it.
May be sir left few lines or may be he wrote his version.

Does anyone know how I can get permission to do this musical with my performing arts crew- Streetz Ahead - I went to school with Arthur (Russell Nash) so proud of you !!!! Would love to hear from someone if they know - thank you xxxx
Hi Streetz Ahead. I would be the one who can provide you permission. Can you post a link to your performing arts crew website so I can discuss this with you privately?

@@keithstrachan9834 Thank you for your reply 🙂 Hope you had a good Christmas, Keith.
43:50 for the people who came for Mistletoe and Wine
I allways thought of myself as the little match girl
I hate the part where she rings home the money only to have her dad take it to waste it on going to the pub for himself
Starring Twiggy. Wut.
Can anyone see that her dad stole her profit just to go out wasting it at the pub.
I’m confused from when the match girl goes to the rich people’s house to the ending
she’s in a sequence of dreams
is that mr feeny
