Strictly Come Dancing 2015

I really thought her leg was going to fly off and land in the audience.It appeared to be fixed on by the large rubber bands like the dolls of my childhood . What a performance.

feetlebaum Wow! That was stunning. Watched it twice. Thank you for sharing that.

"She gave a cough/Her leg dropped of/And floated down the river." Was that from one of Eric Morecambe's?

How about a nice Milonga?

Dance as the vertical expression of a horizontal desire?

'We'll blindfold the band and dance until dawn!'

Ainsley Harriot has just been announced on the One Show.

Feetle, .......' She stood on the bridge at midnight, her lips were all a'quiver, she gave a cough, her leg fell off, and floated down the river!'
I have heard Tommy Cooper say that . not exactly Longfellow is it?

Excellent! Reminds me of 'She stood on the Bridge at midnight/Throwing snowballs at the moon/She said she'd never had it/|But she spoke too flippin' soon!'

Ainsley Harriot - I'm old enough to remember his dad, Chester who had a double act with Vic Evans... (sigh)

Fabulous, sensual dance Feetle just wish the male dancer didn't look like he was dancing with his daughter (age wise) I know that is a very ageist comment, but if I at 68 had been dancing with a young lithe man (fat chance) it too would have looked odd.

Anyway back to the dancing it was brilliant.

@NanKate -

What do you think of the Milonga ?

Is your comment re age difference a typically temperate zone attitude, I wonder? I have a feeling they don't care about such things in warmer parts of the globe...! Actually I liked the older chap - a great sense of authority there - does that make any sense at all?

feetle I quite liked the older man but I think it would have been more believable with a lithe younger man! #mustcalmdown!
I also remember Chester Harriot, we used to see him often playing in bars and clubs in Manchester. He was a lovely man.

Oh no !! Ainslie Harriot (sp) is a contestant.

A reason not to watch the new series.

Next up is Kellie Bright aka Linda Carter (Eastenders).

Oh goodie! I love her!

Yes, Kellie will be interesting.

The first one to go on my 'never 'eard of 'er' list

I love the rubber band legs tango. Oh how it reminded me (not) of my being inspired by Strictly to book DH and I some dance lessons. We were without a doubt the Ann Widdicombe and John Sargeant of that poor dance teacher's world.

I know Linda Carter (Eastenders ) but didn't know her real name.

I agree, I know who jeremy vine is. Its a bit like all the 'celebs' on the daily mail on line. I havent a clue who most of them are and frankly I dont care. But I do care about saturday evenings, love autumn and strictly!

Officially announced so far -

Jeremy Vine
Ainsley Harriot
Kellie Bright

Yes, I am an addict.

OMG couldn't bear to watch Ainsley cook let alone dance!

My DGD's (9 and 7) bought me Strictly Live Tour tickets for christmas last year. It was a fantastic suprise and we had a great time just the three of us. Sadly no Len but Craid Revel Hoarwood (spelling ???) was very funny and a fab dancer.

Haven't got a clue who Kellie Bright is?

Pleeeeeeeease not Richard and Judy my mum has only just stopped talking about them as though they are her long lost best friends, after they left "this morning" (or whatever it was called) . Couldn't go through that again.

Kellie was in The Archers as Kate Aldridge until she joined Eastenders.

Was on a cruise in May which yappenedvto have a Strictly theme. Craig, Iveta, Tristan, Kevin and Karen were on board at various times. The two Strictly shows and the competition for passengers were all fab.

Oh my goodness, what happened to summer? It's nearly Strictly and X factor time already?????
