[edit] End date

IMDB.com states that the show ended in 1998. This articles gives 1995 as the end date. Which one is correct?—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 18:44, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

There were some one off specials in 1996 and 1998. It officially ended in 1995, though, the year the final series was broadcast. BillyH 18:54, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Would you by any chance happen to have the start/end dates, as well as the dates of the specials?—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 18:56, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

The start date of 29th September is on 1949 in television. Haven't been able to find the end date, unfortunately, just a mention of 'Autumn' 1995.

For the specials (two in '96, one in '98), an archive newsgroup post [1] reveals the date of 12th September 1996 for the first one, and includes the words 'Final next week', presumably meaning the 19th. These two specials were called 'International Come Dancing', as they involved other countries competing (Holland vs UK, Sweden vs Germany, etc). Haven't been able to find the date of the '98 special, but UKGameshows.com says it was an 'Xmas special', so presumably December. I remember watching this one, and am pretty sure it was just called 'Come Dancing' this time. BillyH 19:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for checking. I was not sure if the start date in 1949 in television was accurate. As for the rest of the information, it is very useful to me. If you happen to find more details in future, please let me know. Thank you again.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:07, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
