‘The Supporting Act’ is a short clip made by the BBC.

The theme (idea) is ‘oneness’ - that is, being together.

A ten year old girl is practising dance day in day out (all
the time) for a very important event, a Christmas
talent show. She is going to dance and she is hoping to
do well. She wants her dad to be there, but he is very
busy. He has a job and he has to do all the household
jobs. Where is Mum? We don’t know: what do you
think? Will dad turn up at the talent show? Let’s see!
