The Hit Man and Her (1988–1992)
10/10
thrust to the beat
30 June 2006
In the early 1990s this was broadcast in the graveyard slot of 4am. Pete Waterman then a hugely successful record producer took the presenter's job and began to wonder if he had made the worst mistake. The show were at half empty clubs. Then it started to get a cult following from drunks coming home and now the clubs had queues of people stretching so far they had to turn people away. The show consisted of people dancing very badly to the latest club tunes that were unsustainable unless you were stuck in a club. Meanwhile professional dancers lead by a black man in a white nylon wig did their thing. The show was noticeable for the cameraman's' interest in the women dancing on the stage and the reason why it was canceled: a number of dancers were able to keep up an athletic tempo despite sweat pouring off them. It was revealed a few had taken a well known stimulant that was part of the club scene at the time. The most memorable of the women dancers was a beautiful nubile girl that appeared in a couple of the earlier shows. Dressed in a black bikini style clothes and sunglasses she moved her body in a very knowingly erotic way. Such was her effect that the actor and psychic Stephen Armourae was describing her on a few sites and a drawing base don her appeared. I know he wanted to do a portrait, but unfortunately for us all that is unlikely since they were anonymous.
