    I think anyone who's moaning about a bit of lightweight tea-time fare on BBC1 in 2014 obviously never experienced the humiliation of trying to explain why Wigan's Ovation wasn't indicative of Northern

    FFS let's dress the presenters in clown suits that we wore almost 40 years ago. This scene of ours has become so jaded is it any wonder why after never being away from it since my introduction I

You bloody shit stirrer you . Now look what you have gone and done .

Was slowly starting to get won over to the Elaine Constantine film thingy but not any more after that.
Bang goes any credibility that the film or she had IMO. 
Soulboy part 2.

And what was all that about with the flowery hat?
 

Worth watching for Lisa  :wub:  :wub:  Elaine, Sammy n Trickster didn't do anything wrong . Dancers where good in the main. Yeah parts were bit hide behind the settee ie the presenters. But seen worse on the television. Steve. Lisa :wub:  :wub:

Get ready for the Facebook backlash against "Soul Source slagging off the One Show", after all, we can't say anything good about anything can we, nasty bastards that we are...

 

Hopefully without anyone threatening to "have a talk" with you this time though :lol:

No real comment on the One Show to be honest but I  would just like to thank some of you for your comments I've not laughed so much in ages infact tears running down my face, I was waiting for Martyn Clunes to ask the question 'What's Northern Soul then' lol well if he was to ask me the answer would be 'Fucked if I know anymore' 

Love that Mark...classic!.......................

I wear it if I do any welding, stops the sparks burning me bald bits.   :D   :lol:

I am so embarrassed. 

What a surprise :lol: ...

 

Why put yourself through it Phil.... It aint like 1973, we have loads of channles now... 

'Kin hell' was bad enough going to work this morning after getting a battering from the Blue Noses , tomorrow I think I may have a sickie  :lol:

I enjoyed it, yeah, quite a few embarrassing bits, but I did like seeing folk that I know shuffling away.

It wasn't meant to be a documentary, just light hearted entertainment, & if it helps the film "Northern Soul" be a success, then fair play.

Ali :thumbsup:

 

Thats the rub Alison there should,nt be any embarasing bits . However I love your optimism :hatsoff2: but if thats what helps the film then gawd elp us :)

Gave it a miss, washing my hair.. Some of you must be the type of folk who like to stop when they see a bad car crash too :huh: .....

 

 

I think i can live without seeing it for now......Plenty more to come i guess with the film on the way......

 

I bet the folk who peddle northern soul tat are getting moist...

You were on it Steve!!! :lol:

Numerous clips, not all Wigan, & I spotted you in a dancehall clip

Is Flowery hat rhyming slang.?

I bet the viewing figures trebled with all us lot tuning in... :elvis:  shit that means it could be a regular feature or even a new soul night

Pretty much what I expected from an early evening lightweight magazine type show. A brief stereo typical look at "northern soul". I have had the same thing from riding scooters for the last 25 years, questions like are you a mod and is your scooter covered in lights and mirrors and do you wear a parka. And now people will be asking do you wear those big trousers and can you show me how to dance spin etc!. My answer is always I don't have to dress up to ride the scooters and I don't have to wear the clothes to listen to the music. God help us all when the film comes out :-) On a positive note it was nice to see lots of people I see most weekends having fun and they are great dancers.

Yours managing to dance (just about!) in Levi's and trainers mark.

Thing is Mark, it's embarrassing to us, a mature audience I would think, but to some of the young ones today, they would find it cool

The irony for me, is that I left the Mod Scene in the 80's (because I was tired of wearing the uniform) to join the, what I called at the time, "Northern Soul Scene" & was over the moon that I could still hear fabulous black music & not have to wear any "uniform" but hey, times have clearly changed, I still refuse to wear a uniform, but if others want to then that's their choice

What's wrong with everyone on here. It's just a television program. With some soul music getting played and a few people dancing in the background. Oh I forgot it wasn't approved by the soul police. Steve

I didn't Steve. The tv was just on and I'd forgotten all about it, don't look Ethel, but it was too late. Now I'm so depressed. 

 

We we just look so uncool now. I don't like being old.  :(

Well I do, not necessarily where I go, but because my ex has a nice record collection that needs to be passed on, & the music kept alive (god I sound a right stiff :lol:)

I was more shocked by the state of Martin Clunes. He looked like he was about to drop dead. Not aged well.

Yeah perhaps you're right. You haven't got a massive great big badge with Northern Soul on it I could borrow have you?

Clunes would have getting the usual tedious reply,'if i told you you still wouldn't understand' KOKO, KTF etc etc

There's a few on that show who have been on the scene for quite a while and should know better than promote , what we have tried so long to protect,  divs

Well said pal.

The one burning question that remains unanswered after tonight's show is what flavour crisps make the best sandwich.  My money is on Salt and Vinegar.

Worst of all there were 3 supposed world no dance champions on there lol. All that was missing were the handbags lol

How were the people on the One Show any different from what you see at the major weekenders / oldies nighters? Just a cross section of people dancing to music and enjoying themselves. Yes the songs were obvious, but that's just what it's like in so many venues these days…..Anyone that doesn't think that is what the majority of the scene is like today, just needs to get out a bit more and witness it….or maybe they don't.

If you think the discussion is getting heated on here, you should check out the Look At Your Lunchbox forum on Sandwich Source.

Well, I heard Bob and Frank and Al, but where was Marvin? At least with Dobie and Sandy etc the sound track was true to the 1970's. I think the presenters made total idiots of themselves so the soulies came across as just plain dumb by comparison. Not impressed with Elaine's contribution despite the nice dress. There were a couple of good dancers in the background but plenty featuring in the clips need to put in more 'bedroom mirror time'. At least the film promises to be worth seeing but the One Show feature will have done nothing to appeal to an outside audience. The three segments all made for uncomfortable viewing so the less said the better and maybe folk will soon forget this pointless episode.

How much would you pay for the Crisp Sandwich then?
