    I watched Hamza on Countryfile last night @Valley Gardener.
    Such a nice man, l'm glad he has a higher profile these days thanks to Strictly. He is a very good presenter in my opinion. 
    I had to look up Nikita, apparently she is a presenter on the BBC Asian network. If those were "real" trainers she was wearing (in terms of style), it must have made it extremely difficult to point the feet in the "kicks and flicks".

    Hamza doesn't need anything off the back of 'Strictly'.  He has been one of the world's top wildlife photographers and film makers for some years.

    I'm sure that to many people Hamza was known as a well respected wildlife cameraman, and having seen his work since Strictly, l can well believe it @KT53 .

    For whatever reason, he decided to enter Strictly which brought him into a wider public domain, and l for one am very glad  :)

    As I recall, Hamza said his reason for going on Strictly was that he is out of the country so much he has very little social life when at home.  Learning to dance may help.

    Hamza , always came across as a real Gentleman, if you are allowed to use that word these days 
    Saw him on Countryfile and a program about Birds of prey

    Hamza is being mentioned as a possible successor to David Attenborough and I think they could do far worse.  I haven't seen him try to force his opinions regarding wildlife on other people, or advocating the use of violence.  Unlike Chris Packham for example.

    Hamza's been around a while but is not an attention seeker so his presence is subtle.  Helen spent years doing Blue Peter before she canoed down the Amazon and turned up as a Countryfile presenter.

    Good result on Saturday.  I don't think she was comfortable and yes, old fashioned sneakers/tennis shoes would have been better for foot flexing and pointing than those clumpy trainers.

    There were some really good performances on Saturday.   Angela R is as good as I'd expected and Angela S is a revelation.  Annabelle is lovely to watch, so elegant.   The chaps did well too with no embarrassing performances this week so OH stayed in the room this week.

    It's shaping up to be a great series and the only fly in the appointment is Shirley's erratic voting but I did note she was kinder with her comments this week.

    I also noticed the girl sitting behind Craig she didn't smile once. I did wonder what she was doing there looked bored.
    A friend went to a recording of Strictly years ago once inside there is no going to the toilet she told me!

    This series is becoming one of the best some of the performances are brilliant (I can't comment too much on the dancing as I'm not a dancer), I thought that Zara has at last got the idea and was so much better, Adam looked assured, Ellie is always good, Angela Rippon was brilliant as was Nigel, some of the others dropped slightly and even though I enjoyed Bobby I though that Craig's comments were correct, sadly Jody struggled again. I really can't say who will get the push tonight we voted for Ellie, Nigel and Adam.
