I've just spent an extremely enjoyable hour watching an absolutely superb programme that I taped earlier today
Its Bruce Goes Dancing http://truetvandfilm.co.uk/productio...e-goes-dancing
Bruce Forsyth goes back to the 1920's and follows how the dance of today has developed.
He interviews (and dances with) some of the real innovators of their time, like the Nicholas Brothers and Frankie Manning, plus many more.
The next programme is on tomorrow, on BBC1 at 15-55
Do yourself a favour and tape it!
