BBC Strictly Come Dancing – Artem and his Buddy Holly Go Lightly

Tweet    Strictly Come Dancing – Artem and his Buddy Holly Go Lightly Jason survived the COTS – Curse Of the Samba – just: thanks to an Argentine Tango performance from Kristina bordering on demonic. If this wild woman of dance gets any hotter, Jason will have to dance the final wearing oven gloves. Truth […]

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. Even-handedness or what? There seem to be so many relations and friends of dancers in the audience of Strictly nowadays that we could create the ‘Strictly Wave’ where each related […]

BBC – Strictly Come Dancing – Midnight: Cinderfella went to, and had a ball.

Tweet      Strictly Come Dancing – Midnight: Cinderfella Went to, and Had a Ball. In one of those moments when the British people display their often underrated good sense, Russell Grant got fired – from the programme and a cannon. In perhaps the zaniest, most surreal moment in the history of a programme renowned […]

Strictly Come Dancing – Sparklers for Bonfire Night: Lu bows out

Tweet      Strictly Come Dancing – Sparklers for Bonfire Night Imagine: the days before political correctness; one of those wonderful Technicolor, Looney Toons cartoon shorts. The setting is a bullring. Thousands of little cartoon Spaniards with wide open rounded mouths are baying for blood in the hot sun. Outside an impossibly fierce, impossibly large bull with […]

BBC Strictly Come Dancing – Rory Rory Halleluja

Tweet   Strictly Come Dancing – Rory Rory Halleluja Ask your friends; consult the tea leaves; scour the twitterscope; Lord help us, if you must, listen to Jeremy Vine and the Mad People on Radio 2 between 12 and 2 each day – your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find out […]

BBC Strictly Come Dancing – Runners and Riders (Update)

Tweet    Strictly – Runners and Riders (2) Update   Odds just re-ordered. Made a mistake with Nanci – meant for her to be on a level with Edwina. It’s a long time since I placed a bet. Although in the last 3 I thought Audley was far better than her. Will carry these odds […]

Strictly Come Dancing (2) – Runner and Riders

Tweet  Strictly Come Dancing (2) – Runners and Riders My weekend would not have been seriously deficient had it not included the image of a dance that warmed Len Goodman’s willy. That said- They’re OFF and Dancing. My money’s on Nanci Oil to fall at the first fence tonight. STRICTLY STAKES – 2011 6-1 Chelsee […]

Strictly meets the Wizard of Woz

Tweet Strictly Come Dancing 5 – BBC 3rd October Strictly and the Wizard of Woz. Alesha Dixon to Joe Calzhage: “I’m impressed by how strong you woz for Kris”. There is no way an intelligent, accomplished, successful woman, and Alesha is all three, speaks so badly and lazily on national TV because she doesn’t know […]

Strictly Come Dancing – November 29th/30th: perfect unison, total union

TweetStrictly Come Dancing – Saturday 29th/Sunday 30th November 2008 Sacrilege: the professional dancers on Strictly produce something better than in their wholly professional environment, because they have to adapt their technique, their choreography to the personal, emotional and performance strengths and weaknesses of their talented but non-dance-professional partners. For me the least appealing, least affecting […]

Strictly Come Dancing – Saturday 22nd November

TweetStrictly Come Dancing – Saturday 22nd November The tension – unbearable. The competition – fierce. We were all, well some more than others perhaps, on the edge of our seats from the opening seconds of this week’s Strictly: which would triumph, how would the intense conflict be resolved? Yes of course I speak of the […]
