TV Review: Strictly Come Dancing Results Show, BBC One, Sunday 9 November, 8.15pm

Monday, November 10th, 2008

446x251-heather2.jpgThere’s only one thing to say about last night’s results show, isn’t there? Okay, maybe two. Or three. But the main one is that John Sergeant is still in and Heather Small is out.

TV Review: Strictly Come Dancing, BBC One, Saturday 8 November, 6.00pm

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

christine_matt_286x161.jpgWhat did I say about Bruce Forsyth throwing all his old catchphrases into Strictly? In his intro to last night’s show, he referred to Barack Obama, with the words, “Didn’t he do well?” What was that one even from? Was it the Generation Game? I used to love that… when Larry Grayson presented it (yes, I am that old).

Dancing On Ice line-up revealed… sort of

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

dancingonice1.jpgI know you’ve all been desperate to hear who will be appearing on the next series of ITV’s ice-dancing reality farrago, Dancing On Ice. You haven’t? Got more important things to worry about? Pah. Well, just wait until I give you some names. Then you’ll feel silly.

Strictly Shit Lookalikes: Rachel Stevens and Nanette Newman

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

_1496847_fairy150bbc.jpgI know you know Rachel Stevens – she’s on this series of Strictly Come Dancing and before that she was in S Club 7 (and in between the two, she was mostly in FHM), but do you know Nanette Newman? She was an actress in the sixties. She’s Emma Forbes’s mum (you know Emma Forbes, don’t you?) and her hands are presumably still soft from all those Fairy Liquid adverts. But did you know they look like they could be mother and daughter? Well, they do. Check it out over the cut.

TV Review: Strictly Come Dancing, BBC One, Saturday 25 October, 6.35pm

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

286x161-judges.jpgI had to watch this week’s Strictly on the iPlayer since my husband watched the football last night. It’s handy because I can skip Bruce Forsyth’s between-dance blether, which is good because I’m a bit bored of Brucie-bashing. Particularly since, apparently, he’s not retiring after all. So I’m going to have to just learn to love him. Or at least tolerate him. Anyway, this week’s dances were the paso doble (which I love) and viennese waltz (which is only okay). How would they all cope?

TV Review: Strictly Come Dancing, BBC One, Saturday 18 October, 6.40pm

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

bruce-tess-02.jpgI’ve already reached the point where, on a Saturday, when I remember Strictly is on, I get a bit overexcited. I just love it. And, like every single person to appear on It Takes Two in the past week, I was extremely excited to see the women competing against the men.

This week’s dances were either the samba or the american smooth. Dancing With the Stars also had the samba this week and they were wearing far fewer clothes. In fact the most boobage on show in the UK version was from Mark Foster.

286x161-judges.jpgIt’s the turn of the “ladies” again on Strictly this week and I finally got to watch it live, which meant I could vote… but would I be inspired to?

Why I Love… Vincent Simone

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

headshots-Vincent.pngOne of the funny things about Strictly Come Dancing is how some of the professionals have actually become more famous than the supposed celebrities. Each year, I look forward to seeing Brendan, Anton, Camilla, Lilia and, oh, yes, Ola (although probably not as much as some people). But my favourite, by far, is Vincent Simone.

scd-logo.jpgSo Strictly week two and I was still up for it, despite being subjected to four and a half hours of its US counterpart, Dancing With the Stars, the previous night. Anyway, after the group dances of last week, I had little confidence in the female contestants, but, after seeing a fair bit of their training footage on It Takes Two during the week, the only one I’m still worried about is Gillian Taylforth…

For all our Strictly news and review, go here.

TV Review: Strictly Come Dancing, BBC One, Saturday 20 September, 6.10pm

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

strictly460.jpgIt’s back, back, back! (As Smash Hits used to say.) And how excited am I? Very. Very excited. Although marginally less excited by the first episode focussing solely on the male celebs – in previous series, the men have begun poorly (and then, often, gone on to win).

Anyhoo, this is Strictly’s biggest season yet, with 16 so-called celebrities fighting for that coveted mirrorball trophy.

Strictly Come Dancing: new line-up revealed?

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

scdlogo1.jpgSo who’ve you heard’s on it this year? Zara Phillips? Katie and Peter Andre? Teddy Sheringham? Well, according to The Sun, that’s wrong, wrong and… wrong.

Although the BBC have yet to announce the line-up for the best reality TV show ever (in my opinion), The Sun reckons its got the goods…
