As usual, it's an elaborate and snide joke on Johnny Foreigner.

Ohmigawd! Instant karma: "Come Dancing" by the Kinks just came up on shuffle on my Ipod. Weird!

@4: Not karma. Synchronicity.

Cum Dancing would have been a better title and more fun to watch.

Aww, c'mon! Julian Clary was absolutely adorable on this show. Especially the bits where they were trying to get him to butch up for the tango...

The title is a combination of "Strictly Ballroom," from the movie, and "Come Dancing," because it's part of a long Come Dancing series.

From the late 40's through to the late nineties there was a Ballroom Dancing
competition on the BBC called "Come Dancing" which featured professional ballroom dancers rather than celebrities.
The newer celebrity version is now "Strictly Come Dancing".

Obviously dates from an age when gay meant happy and come wasn't cum.
