I heard that a government department on the Channel Islands is going to take part in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special team event.
They and their dance will be introduced as "Polka, DoT Jersey"


...rubbish...

They'll be joined in the competition by a London local government team dancing the 'Harringay-Gordons'.

Opposing them for the Political Correctness Cup will be the BNP national squad dancing 'The little Black Samba'.



There's a Team from Vauxhall who'll be dancing about their new managers car... The Bosses-Nova!

IGMC...

Yes Fab - memory lane strikes again!
I used to watch Come Dancing on a Monday evening - I think. Peter West was there with his brylcreemed strands of hair. (Do you remember plastic combs with a narrow half and a wider spaced half? I'm sure he used the wide bit...)
Not too keen on the penguin prancing around bit at the beginning but loved the Latin section with everyone bronzed up and doing their best. Some heavy units chugging around too, with Chris Hoy-like thigh size (try saying that when you're sucking a Murraymint ) And Bill & Bobby Irving(?) doing the early professional display dancing, then the Latin American Dance World Champions who were called...damn...Babs and Bobby Blenkinsop - something like that (help me here Fab)They strutted their stuff every week. She was amazonian - painted brown -like a glistening sausage with glitter. Fantastic entertainment!
All the boys of the 70's liked a bit of this too
My Mum is 89 and watches the new show every week. She tells me all about it on the Sunday and asks if I will be watching the judging later that day. Every week I tell her that I don't watch it as I'm not interested. We have the same interlude every week - she loves it!

Ha Ha!

I recall the immaculately Coiffured Donny Burns and uber-tanned Gaynor Fairweather introduced by Rosmarie Ford back in the mid 80's (the twilight years). They're still at it!

I can't stand the penguin suited stuff, but the latin is brill.

They should bring back the real hardcore program where the sequins are sewn on by the contestants!

Rosemarie Ford! What happened to her? <off to Google>

Crumbs, she married Robert Lindsay. I never knew that.

I had to do the same. They don't make them like that anymore...
