The original "dirty dancing" became a century-long craze, but behind it was a bitter tale of father and son rivalry. Lesley Garrett narrates this drama documentary, steps onto the dance floor - and even tries on the period underwear. The compelling story is illustrated with the music of the time, played by the Wiener Akademie orchestra in Vienna's sumptuous Hofburg Palace. BBC4's Strauss - a Night in Vienna, a feast of waltzes, polkas and mazurkas, follows at 7.35pm.
