A special programme saluting Elvis Presley, using most all his hits, and a lot of lesser remembered B-side titles as well. It commemorates a decade since Presley first began recording, though this is not factually accurate. Jimmy O'Neill insists that Presley watches the show, and that he's sure he's tuned in now. The usual fast-paced, high energy performances are shown.

A TV program from the 60's about dancing.
