The prospect of conscription coming back sent this old Louie Spence clip viral and it’s a nostalgic treat
The old Sky 1 series Pineapple Dance Studios was way ahead of its time in many ways, but only lasted one series.
But that one series, memorably narrated by Michael Buerk, was more than enough to make a start out of its leading character, Louie Spence.
We’ve stepped back in time because of the prospect of conscription coming back, prompted by the head of the British Army’s comments about the British public having to be prepared to take up arms.
