- Can you buy beauty and charm? Can you bounce in style? It's time to visit a London charm school and a unique training centre for bouncers in Glasgow to find out.
What are the students like and who is training them? What shall they learn? And what will happen when they step out into the big bad world...

That comb over is amazing.
What an absolutely Monumental comb over. A classic.
Even the guys that weren't going bald, still did the comb over. I can only guess it is to give the impression of being more mature.
Why, why, why and how could anyone even begin to think they don't look like a complete plank by sticking a piece of loose hair back across your forehead. Surely I would have collapsed in fits even back then if I saw it🤣 Just NO!
I love these old videos. They're a fascinating reminder of times gone by and how much has changed, while certain things still remain the same. I think it would do a lot of people a lot of good to attend charm school these days, me included.
That was hilarious, especially the description of the two Williams. And, like charisma, I don't think you can buy charm. What a waste of money.
It's like half the Majors that come out of college in 2024
Complete nonsense
I wish the BBC hadn’t mashed these two contrasting films together, it would have been more enjoyable to watch them as they were intended.
I agree wholeheartedly! Really irritating.
The original uploads can be found on the BBC Archive UA-cam channel.
I don’t know about the charm school one, but I have definitely seen the one about bouncers on this channel.
Love, Alan Whicker.
The interview cutaway clips are like watching "Fry and Laurie" 😅
"Let me see how you sit,
NØ Wrong "!
Brilliant,,brilliant,more,please
i've been an MK subject for 54 years. the title of this video is absolutely hilarious, thank you lodge members at the bbc. well, as much as a thank you in this condition can mean.
Would have been hilarious to have the swapped over the students, have the bouncers take the charm school and the nice ladies do the bouncing, bet some of them, especially that formidable tutor, would deal with drunks most excellently lol 😂
I was imagining the newly trained Bouncers having to deal with the Charm School ladies after they've had a few too many on a Friday night!
this mash up is confusing to watch.
Mrs. Pierce-Smith (3 mins 12 seconds) might have learnt many social graces - but......
Whicker, in the thumbnail; "Digital style!"
Yes. Irritating to keep jumping between two totally unrelated films and at the end we've seen nothing of either. Please BBC give us the whole films...on their own.
I'm glad the combover has gone out of style.
"Professor of Bouncing."
It sounds like a nickname, a joke.
Yeah, I wouldn't have been the one to tell him, though.
The finishing school teachers the girls to keep their poise and legs together until back in some toff's bedroom. The bouncers are more to the point. It's a case of getting punters off their feet, and result in the bouncee's week in bed nursing bruising and two black eyes.

If ever there was a man who was born with charm, it was Alan Whicker
