Better grab the popcorn, Dirty Dancing is on TG4 tonight

Keeley Ryan

It’s one of those movies we won’t ever be able to get enough of.

The weather has been a bit all over the place for the last few days, which has made the idea of staying in and watching a movie increasingly more tempting.

Thankfully, TG4 have come to the rescue and are showing Dirty Dancing tonight.

Whether you’re planning on staying in this Christmas Eve or are planning on setting the recorder, you better take note: the movie begins at 10.15pm tonight.

In case you’re not familiar with the movie, the description reads:

“It’s the summer of 1963, and 17 year old Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is about to learn some major lessons in life as well as a thing or two about dancing.

“On holiday in America’s Catskill Mountains with her older sister and parents, ‘Baby’ shows little interest in the resort activities, and instead discovers her own entertainment when she stumbles upon the staff quarters when an all-night dance party is in full swing.

“Mesmerised by the raunchy dance moves and the pounding rhythms,’Baby’ can’t wait to be part of the scene, especially when she catches sight of sexy, heart-throb Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) the resort dance instructor.

“‘Baby’s’ life is about to change forever as she is thrown in at the deep end as Johnny’s leading lady both on-stage and off with breathtaking consequences.”
