Come Dancing BBC4

[Parts]

Oh, the absolute joy of it. Terry Wogan, dancers who look 34 but are actually 19 yr old secretaries and mechanics, awkward descriptions of the enormous sequinned dresses (created by Carol's mother, Sheila), the proper dance band, cutaways to the dinner-dance audience smoking grumpily through the 'now traditional Come Dancing disco section!', brutal marking...

Can't believe my childhood now looks as ancient as a Pathe newsreel.

Terry's face!

It's wall to wall citrus

This guy actually looks young. How did he sneak through?

I was just thinking he was a tall 13 year old!

I think these two were in the 1979 series too.

Is this still available on catch up?

Yes, but the episodes only stay up for a few weeks, so some of the 1979 ones aren't there any more.

I hope this doesn't replace the formation teams

It musn't have lasted because they were back to formation by the 1979 series. I did like the long, floaty dresses.

Well, that was a bit of an anti-climax. I never thought I'd be demanding the return of identical brown wigs and lemon chiffon!

Home Counties North and Home Counties South = Oxford and Cambridge being allowed to enter loads of colleges on University Challenge.

Checking in, anyone else about?!

Greetings Esma 🤩

Jesse Christ, some of those tables in the audience are groaning with booze.

Bloody hell, it's Pan's Plagiarists again!

Whatever this is I'm choosing to believe it isn't happening.

Lol at booze. Are they all smoking too or is that not allowed due to smoke drifting across the cameras 😁

I meant to comment on the sexist vital statistics last week! Was that Miss England Terry was interviewing just then?! I get such a lechy vibe from so many of the male judges and guests.

I've definitely seen people with a lit fag hanging out of their mouths. No accounting for all that flammable material.

Boom-Bang-A-Bang being unsuitable for a Viennese waltz. Skip forward 45 years and some poor fucker's having to do one to the theme tune to Line of Duty.

The audience haven't made up their minds about sequence dancing replacing formation dancing = Terry's had five sackfuls of death threats.

I'm chuckling at your comments! I can't believe everyone else has deserted us tonight 😮😂

I'm a bit late watching tonight. But I don't understand the format of this series. Is it like conkers? Midlands and West keep going until they get knocked out?

I'm running late after a very long Sunday lunch in the pub. Very disappointed we are seeing Bargain Basement Hot Gossip again

Oooft, these clowns are a cheese dream, aren't they?

Conkers 😂

A cheese-induced hallucination 😂

No bloody idea but I love it.
