like on that advert for crisps (or uniform potato snacks).

i shouldn't say this out loud but i quite like ballet.

but good to see that our common interest is on mainstream telly.
nobody ever wins on those things.

Obeisance, possibly.

Grecian's answer is probably better than my initial suggestion as it explicitly refers to the knees, whereas my suggestion doesn't have to be to do with the knees.

Heh, that advert does make me chuckle, especially when it always makes me think about this board. ;)

PS, what are they playing, some 'graphics' just knocked up for the advert?

Must be, there's no way any game would give you that long to answer a question. I mean, time for three withering glances, a longing look at a crisp, and for a bloke to be sucked up a tube? No way! :)

(BTW, given that Sid Vicious barely played the bass, and all his parts on the album were recorded by Glen Matlock or Steve Cook, I reckon the first question of the advert is wrong as well :) )

The way they press the buttons implies it's multiple choice, yet the man pipes up with 'plie' looking into the distance, as if he didn't have multiple choice.

Yeah, that's what I thought...
