Strictly Who?

Neither do we, unless England Rugby are playing and if they are, we don't normally venture out!

We like to read, listen to the radio, chat and play scrabble and take the pup for walks, but when at home we do enjoy this dance extravaganza, our touring over now until the Christmas break.

I've given in, I'm watching it and enjoying it and I was quite surprised to see some good first time dancing last night. 

I thought it was probably the best opening show, as far as talent goes. I can't remember many 'cringeworthy' moments and for 7's & 8's to be awarded in the first instalment, bodes well for the future. Will someone repeat Ed Ball's Gangnam dance? Hope so!

Well I am pleased to say our friends are organising a Strictly sweepstake again this year.  I have drawn the old chap from Red Dwarf - Danny.  Carol has drawn Seann (the comedian chap).  They don't seem such a well known group this year.  Danny had some good comments and marks last Saturday, so I'm cautiously optimistic about how far my pound will go this year!

Whilst the celebrities may not be that well known, it doesn’t really matter. It’s an entertainment show and there have been some very good dances so far from many of them, and so early on in the series. Bodes well for the coming weeks 😀

Plus we have a very early ‘scandal’ as it’s being called with Seann & Katya being caught getting a little too close 😱. All fuelled by his ex’s very public reaction, all a little OTT and soon to be yesterday’s news - will serve to help the ratings though and not the first or last victims of the Strictly curse as the Beeb call it.

All in all, another good series with some cracking performances yet to come I’m sure.

Wow! One kiss and the entertainment world has gone mad, the press are printing reams of dribble, the social media warriors are sparring like Romans and it even gets coverage on the Beeb! 

Yes, it was silly. Seann - you're an idiot, apologies accepted. Let's move on and see some more dancing, especially if it is as spectacular as the superbly choreographed Paso Doble shown last weekend 

And so to Blackpool and the intensity is increasing. I have grown to like the participants in this years show and have my own favourites, but I wonder how many Club members will be tuned in whilst on site this Saturday?

Sadly, we're not away again until Christmas so will watch from the sofa 

Never mind David there's always next year 

It's not been so interesting this year. Unknown " Celebrities " except Kate Silverton,   poor judgement from that Ballas woman and rubbish guest singers.--- What is always good is the live singing and music from the resident band and singers. plus the superb dancing skills of the slim nubile young professional female dancers.--- All helps to make the show watchable.

When I used to watch it in black and white they all had numbers on their backs so you could tell them apart. Whatever has happened to BBC?
