Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Once more, opposites attracted (sort of) on the six-episode British sitcom Taking the Floor. Matthew Cottle was cast as Brian Wheeler, who aspired to become the United Kingdom's greatest ballroom dancer. He found the perfect partner in the form of Karen Tranter (Barbara Durkin), whose terpsichorean skills were matched only by her insufferable snootiness. When Brian and Karen were together on the dance floor, they were dynamite; but once the music stopped, they could not stand the sight of each other. Created by Paul Makin, Taking the Floor was broadcast over BBC1 from March 4 to April 15, 1991.
