'Saturday Night Grease' by Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie |
Tim puts on his trendiest dancing clothes and goes out for a night on the town – and promptly gets chucked out of the disco. To help him out, Graeme and Bill agree to go dancing with him, only to learn that Tim can’t actually dance; after a lesson from Graeme, Tim returns to the disco, but then gets arrested by the police for mixed dancing. While Tim languishes in prison Bill opens his own club, ‘Disco Bilius’, but the place is so exclusive that no one can actually get in; in a bid to get more interest, he decides to be the first disco in town to have a televised mixed dancing contest. Graeme bails out Tim on the agreement that they take part in the ‘Panorama Disco Dancing Championship’ Final – but their routine from ‘Grease’ just gets them in even deeper trouble with the authorities…
