From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Bob Carlson, and this is Unfictional.

Unfictional is KCRW's program of stories and original documentaries from KCRW's program of Stories and Original Documentaries from KCRW's Independent

Producer Project, a laboratory for independent radio producers, writers, and

performers, and today on the program a British documentary about friendship and loss

growing old and learning to dance. On KCRW's unfictional this is

heel-toe step together.

It should be in here somewhere.

I'll be very upset if I've lost it I'll tell you.

Oh there it is.

That's what I have to learn.

You're welcome to that to borrow it. So this is all the steps. Hang on there's about 10...

Whoa.

Hackney Central, Broadway Market.

This is where I first met Bob Hill, at a record stall.

He said his wife Iris had passed away recently, and that just yesterday he'd received a knock at the door.

A new set of turn tables had arrived,

purchased for him by Iris and delivered after she died.

You see, he said.

Bob had sold his old disco set to take Iris on the QE2,

and now she was returning the favour.

Said he teach me how to dance if I liked.
