"'''Come Dancing'''" (also known as "'''Wicked Waltzing'''"{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}) is an episode of the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[comedy]] television series ''[[The Goodies (TV series)|The Goodies]]''. Written by [[the Goodies]], with songs and music by [[Bill Oddie]].

==Plot==
When the male members of the Penelope Fay Dancing Team are unable to take part in a Ballroom Dancing competition, the Goodies are asked to take their place and partner some girls in the competition. The girls introduce themselves as: "We are Norma. We are a hair artiste." The Goodies then introduce themselves as: "We are Cyril. We are a bank clerk."

There is a problem. None of the Goodies are able to dance. However, Graeme solves the problem by inventing some special dancing suits which dance by themselves by remote control. Everything goes well until Graeme confides to opposition dance mistress, Delia Capone, how the suits work—realising too late what he had done. Delia Capone takes over the remote control for the suits and everything goes [[Wiktionary:haywire|haywire]] for the Goodies, but the Goodies and their partners win the dance trophy—much to the delight of Penelope Fay, and the anger of Delia Capone.

Delia Capone challenges her team of men against the Penelope Fay's girls in an outdoor dancing duel. However, Penelope Fay's girls are not there to take part in the duel, so it is left to Tim, Bill and Graeme to take their place. The resultant duel leads to Tim, Bill and Graeme being [[Wiktionary:sore|sore]] and [[Wiktionary:bruise|bruised]], and ballroom dancing and wrestling matches are never quite the same again.
