    Peter West was a cricket commentator, and also commentated and compered lots of stuff on the "wireless" and television.  I remember him in a Dinner Jacket - suave and seemingly sophisticated.  I think he disclaimed any great knowledge on anything, but morphed into a personable commentator on anything and everything.  (I think he died several years ago, well into his 80s).

    Hope all fans are enjoying the first programme... 

    I find choosing the drinks and eats are a vital component of the experience too.

    I enjoyed it, but without the eats - I'm on a diet image

    Meant to say I enjoyed it, but the new judge sometimes marks for how much she enjoyed the dance, not how good it actually was technically.

  • Congratulations, the sound people got it right this time, the singers and orchestra sounded good. I spotted a 50 gallon drum and some packing cases also a harp on a cloud, why? I did pray for divine intervention at one period, there was no intervention and it was not divine. What happened to the judges have they been on a course "how to make people love you" I wonder.

    There was some dancing in there roll on next week.

    It started very well with fair and constructive comments and appropriate scoring so I welcomed the new broom/head judge but I reckon the judges got carried away towards the end.   Far too many 7s and 8s.

    However - good music choices, well sung and good sound quality and some good dancing and clever choreography tho I still can't cope with egotistical AJ and Giovanni.    Same old camera work/direction.  I want to see the feet and the head and the bits in between please.  How hard can it be?

    Some good costumes and some horrors - as usual.   Enjoyed it tho.

    Craig puts it on though, he was nice in "Who do you Think you Are".

  • Think I saw different dancing last night. Thought the scoring was rather strange at times.  Thought the vicar was rather highly scored for one. Agree, far too many 7s & 8s

    Not sure about the new judge yet.

    A few I quite like, not got a favourite just yet. Poor Ruth she was so nervous, hope she's not the first to go. I'm sure her loose women and This Morning fans will get voting for her.
