Commentary: And from schools - to holidays in the middle of the deep blue Mediterranean. To Sardinia’s beaches, and on to the Mediterranean Club where youngsters eat and drink and twist and have a lot of fun. We see them dance the Madison - the craze which has hit Europe - here where it first caught on before it ever spread to England. The Madison - as carefree experts dance it under a holiday sun.
