[720p/50p] BBC1 | closedown and transmitter shutdown | 29th May 1984 | Part 2 of 2

The recent Come Dancing repeats on BBC4 have convinced me that we need more formation/ballroom dancing on TV, but WITHOUT the annoying celebrity element. It’s the most de-stressing thing on telly.

I used to watch Strictly sometimes but they've become so overproduced, hollow, and seem to involve less and less dancing or learning how to dance - the last I watched had them doing watered down charlestons most weeks and then one week doing hip hop where "hip hop" amounted to bouncing up and down on a ball. As you said, I'd prefer seeing a return to Come Dancing.

Thank you for this of course so too!

The BBC1 announcer was Malcolm Eynon.

I remmeber seeing an alternate version of that PIF on TVARK, but with a different announcer. ("The older you are, the more likely you will be killed, or injured, in a fire.")

[@frostycola42]

I think i saw that one at some point in the early 1990s on BBC1

[@kengeorgejones6855]

Never seen that PIF. Powerful stuff.
