Mike Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 A recent msm take on northern Can be interesting some times looking at just how the mainstream media actually treats 'Northern Soul''. This latest 2022 'take' is from the 'The Other One', a recent BBC comedy series... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Twoshoes Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 We watched the first series of The Other One, no mention of Northern in that one, came up in the episode before the one highlighted. I wish they had left it at that, I found this one embarrassing and in no way reflected a true Northern night for me. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Happy Feet Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Have seen this kind of thing cropping up from time to time , even in Cold Feet , maybe the producers think it's trendy , but surely Old Skool , would be more appropriate even House it just doesn't go with the characters portrayed within the story lines . 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Top tune minst. On the flip side, how many northern soulies use the same moves to pop/disco records! The earlier episodes offering was better...ovo. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I’m gonna have to start going to a “normal” night soon to escape the divs. Its becoming more and more cringeworthy how the media are shoehorning northern into tv etc. it is far from representing the scene and just make a mockery of it. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I was very surprised when this song turned up in a U.S. commercial - 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Personally think there are several scenes now. Regards the clip TV and to a certain extent film have always been lazy when trying to portray the original scene, with a couple of decent attempts. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 If it wasn't for reaching for the best, the flasher, sharonettes going to a go go, and weak spot...I might have missed out on the real scene. These snippets on TV dramas etc should be taken as a bit of fun really. The dance scene does reflect the wedding parties I've been to for sure...here comes the snake, so everybody jump around.

Geeselad Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'd not seen this before, seems so apt. I'd love to know who did it, I'd love to buy them a beer! 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
