When The Penelope Fay Dancing Team are doped just prior to the finals of the B.B.C.'s 'Come Dancing', Miss Fay asks the Goodies to replace them. There's a snag - they can't dance. Graeme rigs up some special 'dancing suits' - suits that dance by remote control. The Goodies soon pull level with Miss Fay's rival - the unscrupulous Delia Capone - but she isn't about to let the Goodies waltz off with the trophy and prize money. She challenges them to an open-air duel...
The original 'Come Dancing' was a very different show to the one currently on air. No Z-list celebrities, no pompous judges, no booing audiences; instead they had formation dancing teams pitted against one another, lots of elegance and charm. Its that which this episode sends up. June Whitfield is surprisingly sexy as 'Penelope Fay' ( must be those false eyelashes and wig ), while Joan Sims comes on strong as the gangster-like 'Delia Capone'. With his dark brilliantine hair, Tim Brooke-Taylor looks uncannily like Conservative leader David Cameron!
Funniest moment - Tim and Bill learning to dance courtesy of a instructional record by Lionel Bleagghh!
