Is that the same one off In Bed With Medinner? That was awesome.

Edit: Apparently not. That was the Yorkshire Disco Dancin' Championship.

Is the Yorkshire one the one where the black guy is blatantly robbed of the title by some shithouse in what I can only see as gross racism.

Do NOT eat an apple whilst watching this.

(Unless, of course, you wish to decorate your computer screen with home-chewed apple sauce. Especially during Karl "The Hairdresser" Robinson.)

Crazy to see "Downtown" Julie Brown before her Club MTV days. All that was missing was Fab Five Freddy.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that the bloke who put these up has a collection that consists of ITV disco dancing competitions and Nazi tanks and planes?

Holy Schmoly....as an ancient 41 year old I always have half memories of 1981 being something not that different to today and then you watch something like that....looks like 1975 rather than the 80's!!! Scary.

I was thinking the same. Then again, this kind of show was exactly what would have been making people like (the 16-year-old) us lot groan and exclaim "Disco is so last decade! Thank god I like Joy Division!" etc, etc.

Fair point though I suspect that if we went back now for a day or so we'd be pretty shocked by the number of flares still around and the hangover of disco fashion still being worn even by the up and coming youth. Mind you, you can see the New Romantic fashions infiltrating in the outfits of some of those dancers!

I blame Leee John from 'Imagination'!!!
