Rita joined in the fun and games as "The Genie of the lamp" in a quick guest appearance in "Larry Grayson's Generation Game" popping her head out of the gold lamp she joyfully shouts at Larry "Hello Larry, I'm your Christmas Fairy" she is dressed in full pantomime gear and joins in the fun and games, the whole cast are seen at the end of the show waving goodbye.

One of Rita's last TV appearances came in 1981, when she was interviewed by "Bob Langley" on BBC's "Saturday Night At The Mill". This interview is a testament to Rita Webb's strength and love of life. She took centre stage and fed the crowd what they wanted, "fun love and smiles", telling them "If I mention the name 'Jeffie', that's my darling husband, to whom I’ve been married for 41 years" She looked "as fit as a fiddle", wearing her favourite green Caftan, little did the viewers know that four months later she would die of Cancer.
Her career may have ended by her untimely death in 1981, but years after her death, she is still "making em’ laugh" with the endless repeats of some of the finest shows she appeared on that are broadcast all over the world!
