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.

Anyone watching tonight?!

That orangey-yellow pouffey dress was magnificent. She looked like she was dancing with Bernard Cribbens's grandad but he was only 16!

Those people sitting watching on the pier.

Frank looks like he's walked straight off the original Starship Enterprise.

The Deer Hunter is a great tune but can you imagine the theming for Strictly Movie Week? CGI bamboo and Russian roulette.

Those white jeans are a bit snug 😂

The lady in the polka dress (disco) wasn't doing a whole lot!

Loved the tango on the pier!

Love this disco lady in her short-shorts 😁

That woman in the hotpants was dancing twice as fast as the others!

Ooh, Miss Charity Queen!

Genius disco dancing this week - have they electrocuted the floor?

I loved the disgruntled onlookers on the pier - especially the fellas sat with their tits out 😂

I can’t believe how young they are. Are they doing middle-aged cosplay?

Lego hair on the Welsh Viennese Waltz chap!

OMG, that's genius

Well done, Stuart’s mum!

I keep thinking the ladies are 40 from afar, they're mostly 16-19 😁

The judges all looking at different cameras 😂

I can only conclude that the Cold War, the Three Day Week and hand-sewing 24 000 sequins onto layered tulle were incredibly ageing.

How have I missed this?? I loved this as a kid and was determined to have an ostrich feather-covered dress.

My mother never let me watch it so it was always a “secret” I was only allowed to watch when she was out.

😂😂😂

Am I the only one singing ‘Just One Cornetto’?

The brown wigs !!!

This is rather fun!

This is what we want on Strictly, Jason Gilkinson!

Andy Ross vs Dave Arch

(no man in the hat)

“Controlled power”. Oh Terry, I do miss you.

It's definitely the big set hair that ages the women - this latin team look much more their age
