    It took me all of last series to get used to Tess and Claudia but now I think their OK,zoe does better on ITT
  • Going to be interesting next week then. image Probably down to who holds their nerve and the choreography - exciting. image

    Can't decide if Tess is held by back by the BBC or her lack of spontaneity, either way very wooden and repetitive. Some of the people I have seen on ITT, especially Fridays seem much more appropriate as presenter of a dance programme. image

    All good fun though. image

    I would have thought Tess would be Told what to do and the funnies from Claudi seems to be the format image

    Blackpool isn't impressive by day - looks very run down and unloved - or did when I was last there a few years ago.   I expect it looks fine at night when the illuminations are on - if you like that sort of thing.

    The ballroom though is glorious - sprung floor, organs that pop u and down or back and forth depending on the model when one organ player takes a rest and the other takes over, intricate decoration and good acoustics.  We took the opportunity to spend a few hours at a Sunday tea dance and loved it but blimey, some of the couples are aggressive about the floor space in dances like the cha-cha and rumba.   Nearly had my chin clocked a couple of times.

    Loved the sequence dancing.  We don't get that in Belgium but we do have line dancing instead and not just country.  There's Irish, Greek, twist, samba, cha-cha, tango, waltz, polka, merengue, cumbia, reggae, rock and more.

  • Anyone got any comments about Claude's clothes? Does she choose them?

    My prayer was answered, the music suited the dances for a wonderful programme, can I get up off my knees now.

    Yes you may Frank image And thank you, I much prefer it when the music is 'right'. Really enjoyed the show from Blackpool image

  • Me too, great show and possible the end for Peter Andre. For me he was the only one whose dancing wasn't quite 'there' although he certainly can do all the other twinkly bits. image

    Other than that I have no idea who should go.  image
