Anyone else been watching this - final last night and, without doubt, the best definitely won. I picked them out as the best some weeks back.
Whereas I thought the pair of children were quite incredible I really do think there should be a lower age limit for this contest (16yrs?). Would like to see a separate Junior competition and also a separate competition for groups of say more than six.

You and me both Franbern - I too chose the winners weeks ago. I enjoyed the series but I did feel that some of the 'dancing' was more 'gymnastics'?
Like you, I feel there should be a 'junior' competition as all the dance captains seemed to stress the 'cuteness' of Lily and Joseph. I was very concerned at the sight of young Joseph in tears so much - what stress was he under at that young age?
Like you say the best dancers by far won and I look forward to seeing them on 'Strictly' later this year.

Yes, I watched this and agree that the right act won, although I also thought Harrison was brilliant. I agree with you about the children, and while I thought they were absolutely marvellous, it seems like too much pressure for children that young to compete against adults.
