No, but my God it would have been incredible.

Are 'Hot Gossip' the dancers from the Kenny Everett Show, I use to watch that all the time. Captain Kremmen and Carla, Marcel, who was the bovver boy character?, darn I can't remember them. David Essex was a regular guest, and I loved the 'African native chant' thing he did, cracked me up every time. Maybe it was performed on the Kenny Everett Show.

My favourite comedy sketch of all time was on that show and I must have been just a child when I saw it. He was sitting at a table full of people in a very posh dining room having a very fancy dinner when someone cut one big time, whew, they were all looking around, getting all embarrassed. Then Kenny gets up and opens the door, he looks under the table for the dog and points out the door signalling the stinky dog to exit the room, and the dog walks in!!!!! Classic!

Dying to hear if anyone ever did see this performance though, I hope Hot Gossip are who I think they are and I haven't gone completley off topic. By the way, we have that show here in Australia too except it is called Dancing with the Stars.

My God, I had no idea that was Sarah Brightman, great photos, funny!!!


I might be thinking of another group now like the Soul Train or something but I thought the lead dancer was a negro woman with very long hair.
