Starlight Express - London - Generation Game

[Xaphan1988]

unfortunately this was stopped before i managed to see it when i was old enough to appreciate it. I did do as a kid, but i only have vague memories of the show. Wish it was still going.

[BootyFister]

I'm 12 and what is this?

[charlottehealy]

When I saw this for the first time, John Partridge (who is now Christian in Eastenders) was Electra! :)

[cook1atschool]

went to see this in 88 for my 20th birthday and it was brilliant, the skaters went right round you, loved it.. wont forget it

[mightymagicmarco]

Legendary Swing hahahahahaha. I've never been called that before. That was a funny day. Great memories. Glad you all liked it xx

[bloodynyphm]

the comment "and you just know electra is lovin it" pretty much sums up this video. I swear my spleen was trying to kill me from all the laughing i just did. straight up five stars

[imcute666]

erm not really cats was good but this is far better in my opinion!

[wickedfeylady]

I miss Dinah

[MadFranandfriends]

That Electra is really into it! Who is he?

It's Marco Ferrero, legendary swing!

help me plz

[13gray13]

It's Grant Antony who covered it and was swing

[starlightexpress]

Maybe Greaseball's making out backstage with Dinah? :P It's quite a random selection of characters, nice to get Flattop and Dustin on camera when they're not so glamourous. It's probably whichever actors signed up to do it!

[Mungojerriestar]

Why is Greaseball not here but all the other main characters are?!

[abbey22]

I believe the cast (if memory serves right!) is:

Rusty: Grant Anthony Pearl: Nikki Belsher , Buffy: Jo Leigh Whelan, Ashley: Lyndi Oliver, Electra: Marco Ferraro, Flat Top: Richard Mylan and I'm rubbish as I can't remember Dustin...Dale Branston perhaps?

[lovelyharajuku]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­Dd ilove it so much lol

[starlightexpress]

They're dancing the the "New" London recording but that's not the cast, I think this is a couple of years later.

[jenniwrenyt]

This is totally the first cast I ever saw...it's the cast on my cd...unless they're just dancing to the cd...?

[HeWhistledAtMe]

Hilarious! Those lucky people!

[ocean0explorer]

Ha!

[Bealzabub]

I love it.

[LadyDragonbane]

What kind of show was this?

[starlightexpress]

It's reallllly old, but it basically set contestants live challenges, so with this one, it would have been to pick up the dance routine as best they could from scratch.
