No one will enjoy the new hit film Billy Elliott more than 11-year-old ballet dancer Carl Williams.
Some of his family had doubts about his love of dance, just as they did in the film where a youngster becomes a ballet star.
Already the story of Billy shows an uncanny resemblance to that of Carl. Let's hope the local lad goes all the way like his screen double and becomes ballet wonderful.
