- Could this really be the only remaining video evidence of Ken Dodd being arrested for ''grabbing a girl" and dancing in the street? I joke, besides, Ken's preference was fiddling the tax man...! This dance routine is from an episode of Ken Dodd's World of Laughter where The Young Generation performed several times. TYG where a dancing and singing group created by Dougie Squires for BBC television in the late 1960s that carried on throughout the 70's and this routine was first broadcast on the 22nd November, 1974. Don't you think there really is just something so charming, inoffensive and delightfully kitsch about 1970's and 80's British television dance troupes? And besides my own love/hate of the fashion back then, or that showbiz women were a lot more alluring to me both in the upstairs and downstairs departments, and more than any Willoughby or Winkleman today could hope to come close. Enough said, now go and grab a girl... Dibs on Jan Francis though.

Nigel Lythgoe was one of the dancers in The Young Generation. He was the panelist Nasty Nigel in Pop Stars.
Hahaha thanks again .. Good old Doddy .. brilliant comedian that loved his fanbase.
We now have the ads in 2023.
Pitiful.
Clip and your comments 👌
A family friend was in this troupe: so nice to see him.
This is the 1970s as I remember it.
Wish I could go back 🥰
Yes, cringeworthy.. but you've gotta love it

Such things will never be again ...brilliant upload !
Different time, different place, almost seems like a different planet.
The only thing better than this clip is your description of it and the times that made it happen. Except the dibs on Jan Francis bit LOL
Great stuff❤
I wrote ( with the help of my late mum) to Ken Dodd in 1971 telling him how much i loved the Diddy Men, he wrote me a letter back complete with some Diddy pictures of the gang.
My favourite was the little chap who used to say " I'll marmalise ya"😀
A firm favourite in our house, and growing up in the 80's. Respect to a man whose career spanned generations and to someone who liked to acknowledge his fans. Thank you for sharing that memory!
Lesley Judd was in the YG, can't say I can pick her out though.
sweeeeet! ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh dear I think I had a pair of high waist brown flares, brown was quite the colour back then.
The 70's seem to have produced countless and seemingly impossible variants of beige ;)

My parents favoured a burnt orange shade - for over coats, bedspreads, the casserole dish, Mum’s lippie, the car…. I blame the glare from all these for my damaged eyesight.
I remember The New Generation, don't know who they were maybe some of these, perhaps they did the music or something..
I think it was Rolf Harris who first gave choreographer Dougie Squires his first big break, up until the mid 60's the BBC worked with Northern Dance Orchestra, Dougie Squires helped revamp the traditional dance troupe that would soon appeal to the young uns more than say Syd Lawrence.
