The Hitman and Her.

 

does anyone here remember this show??

it was shown on ITV in the UK in the mid to late 80s or just the late 80's ..can't be to shaw though.

the reason I mention it is ,was that we were taking about the orther day and it's something I had just plain forgotten about.

It was set from what I can remember always in real clubs around England but for some reason I think it was more shown from clubs in the northwest region though?? cos one of the clubs that was always on was  ' Mr Smiths'  lol and I'm certain it's still there..

 

It was always on in the very early hours of Sunday morning and it was just members of the public mainly younger one's who were dancing and waving at the camera and just smiling and the camera would pan around at the club and pan onto the spinning lights lol and somewhere there was a built up stage made I think for this show? and just groups of dancers?? and the public and one guy called Clive I think in a blonde wig about 7ft tall who was the main one who was at the front and they just danced and held singing games??

 

The best bit's was the presenters though

Michaela Strachen and Pete Waterman..

he was the up and coming music producer at the time who helped launch Kylie when she first started and Michaela who is now presenting wildlife programmes now??

thing is they just looked unsuited presenting it together when you look back but at the time you never thought it.

They made everything look so wholesome ,it's like nobody had ever tried alcohol or soft drugs before lol

 

I was young at the time but wanted to so be on it but my friend and I never quite knew how to get to 'Mr Smith's'..it seemed so far away !! lol we always thought we had recognised atleast one person in the club , it could have been anyone though.

It never gets repeated on any of the channels though. Would like to see one of them again.

Music was going underground then and changing into illegal venues and this was so mainstream. I have no idea why this show started.

Things are different now though..superclubs in the Swiss Alps lol
