I'll watch it but would prefer it if I knew who any of the 'celebs' were. I assume better known people either want too much money or now they know how much time and work they'd have to put in aren't interested.

Although we often don't know some of them we quite like getting to know them. I worry about better known ones who think it's going to be a career enhancing easy ride and get upset when they find it's hard work.

None of the ladies are easy on the eye, and most of the chaps look like they're in need of some botox.

Initiated by Wynne Evans it appears, who if course was sacked after making lewd sexual comments, so has no axe to grind whatever.

I’ve got a hunch that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink might have a few moves up his sleave so a fiver at 25/1 is going to be my fun bet.

I am starting to agree with others that this is all becoming has become nothing more than a pantomime with Amy as the Good Fairy

This is what seems has to happen now with total inclusiveness and racial and gender PC by the BBC.
Bring back dancing where you win on your performance on the floor, not who or what you are.
Don't worry, be happy

Same here. It use to be good but now for me it’s a right load of sh*t, with just a load of has beens I’ve never heard of, and most them are shirt lifters.

And yes, I know other channels are available of which I shall definitely be prevailing myself of..

Right, that’s the rant over with, time for a glass of red. Cheers 🍷 :D

I like it. And I don't mind the odd bods the BBC has brought in in their wokiness. It gives me a chance to make a coffee and still miss nothing of consequence.

Two faced :shock: :lol:

I prefer to call it adapting....

As in…accepting and adjusting to new or unexpected situations by staying flexible, positive, and unconfrontational :angel: :lol: :wave:
