In January of 2020 we were surprised when we were approached by a BBC producer. He explained they needed some line dancers for a comedy programme they were recording called Mandy, and would we be interested? On Monday 24th February we made our way to Hemel Hempstead for filming. We were joined by half a dozen of our dancers for a day of both dancing and acting. We were introduced to the stars of the show, Diane Morgan and Maxine Peake. This particular program, the second of a series of six, involved the two ladies taking part in a line dance endurance competition. We were also joined on the dance floor by two lady stunt artists.

(You have to see the program) We have, during our line dancing career, taken part in a few film ‘shoots’ but for our dancers this was their first experience. Great fun. Diane Morgan is the star of the ‘Mandy’ series which are 15 minute short adult comedy sketches. It was shown on BBC2 in August 2020 and repeated again in October and November. It may still be available on iplayer should you have missed it
