BBC Strictly Come Dancing – The Magnificent Seven – left

Tweet  Strictly Come Dancing – The Magnificent Seven – left Not even a Hokey-Cokey to the Halleluiah Chorus would have had the audience on their feet so often. Seven dances, seven standing ovations.

Tweet      Strictly Come Dancing – Sparklers for Bonfire Night Imagine: the days before political correctness; one of those wonderful Technicolor, Looney Toons cartoon shorts.
