James Whale (no relation to the acclaimed Universal movie director) was a run-of-the-mill talk-back radio host until he unaccountably graduated to TV in the late 1980s. While otherwise painfully unremarkable, the show occasionally featured scantily-clad British beauties whose sole purpose was to spice up the proceedings with a touch of risque humor. One of the more memorable appearances consisted of the aptly named Dream Girls:
VCR screencap - apologies for the low resolution.
For some inexplicable reason, this multi-talented dance troupe had to perform in the sexiest of lace corsetry imaginable - basques, torsolettes, garter belts and waist-cinchers - complete with matching black hosiery. Interestingly enough, none of the other guests were required to remove any clothing whatsoever - most probably because they were male.
James meets the Dream Girls: beware of vulgar humor.
Apropos to their act, James asked the girls, "Did you enjoy that?" - to which Lisa (the blonde in the middle) replied, "Yes we did, very much" - a sentiment evidently shared by everyone who saw them. A phone-in poll confirmed that 95 percent of the viewing audience wanted to see The Dream Girls back in future episodes. Not sure whether they returned as regular guests - information on the group is extremely rare at this point of time - but hope always springs eternal.
The full dance sequence may be seen in this (regrettably low resolution) video from 1991. Fast forward to 25.31; the Girls are literally the only thing worth watching over the course of the entire sordid program.
