Strictly Speaking

Ten minutes. Da Da Da Da, Da Da Daaa......

Notso I'm having a quiet time ,but wondered 10 mins to what. Think Ive missed something!!!!

Strictly Come Dancing gran! The first programme has just finished!

Thankyou notso NOW I understand

Did anyone else try the red button 'dance commentary'? Thought they both liked the sound of their own voices and I couldn't hear the music!!
After about 30 secs I gave up on it!

But will hold judgement on dancers until after tomorrows offering

Wow! Lulu doesn't stand a chance against Anita, does she!

And wasn't Russell great!

OOps! Definitely round one to Anita and wooden spoon to Lulu. Never mind, lots of time left. Didn't like red button commentary - prefer to hear the music. Occasional comment on technique may be ok but Katie Brand clearly saw this spot as just another gig!

Anita seems to have taken over where Pamela left off. Hope she keeps it up. Great to see husband, Brian May, in the audience.

I didn't realise she was married to him! I think she could win.

Still finding it a bit odd to see Brian May in the audience. Well done supportive husband, but find rocker/astrophysicist a bit out of place amongst the sequins!

Rocker/astrophysicist is an odd enough juxtaposition, so why not get in among the sequins as well? I bet Brian Cox would, given half a chance...now there's a thought...

Wise as ever Annobel! Why stop at two incongruities?

I really enjoyed tonight`s programme, li8ked Anita, Dan, Holly and Russell, Lulu was rubbish!

I didn't think Lulu was enjoying herself at all. She had a fixed look about her - the rabbit in the headlights thing. Her feet just didn't know where they were! Looking forward to tonight's show. I have a feeling that Alex Jones could be a dark horse.

That's just how she looked in the trailer for the show "Annobel", like a rabbit caught in headlamps. You don't think it could be down to too much "work" on the old face do you? (miaow)

I don't mean "old" old, iyswim.

Does anyone know why Holly had to dance last night, instead of Alex?

Sorry I pressed wrong keys to bold the name there.

Still waking up, me!

Uh, huh, that crossed my mind too jj (hope you don't mind the abbreviation). Anita looks far more natural for her age, and far more glamorous, imho.

Oh yes. She's got personality!

There was one of them in the last lot that definitely had had too much done and couldn't smile properly. Can't remember who it was now though.

Ok ...who slapped the red lippy on Tess then? Some of the views reminded me of !!!

Let's hear it for Jason! Hoping tonight's dire performance will mean an early exit for the awful Nancy Thingy.

Poor Nancy! Wardrobe fault!

I think she seems nice. Hope she has better luck next time.

My favourites after the first dances are Jason, Anita, Harry, for dancing performance, and Russell for sheer entertainment. The ones I`d like to see the back of are Lulu, Robbie, Nancy and Edwina.

I missed the first half. Weather was hot so we sat by the river longer than we meant. Forgot to record it too.
