FILMING is due to take place on Sunday on Skipton High Street for a new BBC dance programme.

Hundreds of people, including the Skipton Mayor Martin Emmerson and Chairman of Craven District Council, Chris Moorby, are due to take part.

Groups have been practising dance for the last three weeks ahead of a mass dance on Sunday. The programme, which is believed to set Yorkshire market towns against each other is being made by Warner Bros Television and will be fronted by Steve Elias.
