Strictly Come Dancing 2012 FAB-U-LOUS Thread number 2

[Sparklingbrook]

And so it continues.......

Oh and didn't he have a week off last year? I'm sure he was away for some reason last season.

Claudia's OTT eye make up and dodgy fringe make her look in halloween costume already. I don't like any of the presenters.

I thought Brucie was fairly on the ball this week, some bits of unscripted banter which he responded well to.

This is only my second season, I seem to have a dancing crush on Anton, am dyspraxic but would like him to teach me the quick step!

Brucie had one week off last year when he had flu - Ronnie Corbett stood in for him with Tess .

God, I'd forgotten about Corbett! Or successfully wiped it from my mind. Until now. Thanks a bunch, tbkand3.

What is it with the BBC and old men?
We need more female presenters, apart from the young pretty ones we need a few middle aged average looking ones. I'd quite like to see Jo Brand presenting strictly, or Rona Cameron she's not been on anything I've seen recently.

Sorry about that LadyClarice - the image of him tripping down the stairs and doing the leg up thing with Tess is indelibly printed on my brain, so I thought I'd share . Remember the lovely tartan suit?

So who would we rather have, Brucie or Ronnie?! At least Ronnie can't make jokes about small people...

Again, I hadn't remembered the tartan suit ...

but now I can't forget it, you caaaaaaah.

Sue Perkins as SCD presenter! Now that would be good

Oh YES! Actually, Mel and Sue together would be even better. Wonder if they get on with Claudia? The three of them could be a riot.

That is a FAB-U-LOUS idea

I do hope the BBC bosses read this thread (although I doubt it since they are still plugging away with Brucie).

Whoever it was that said they'd like to see the back of Brucie, the first time I read it I thought 'what, doesn't he ever turn round? I wonder if I've ever seen the back of him?' . What a dope! I blame the sleep deprivation currently being inflicted on me by my 7 month old.....

Not sure about Miranda Hart presenting but if you could get her in on it too that would be great. She's a huge fan as is Marian Keyes who is also fab.

Oooh yes - good idea. They can have ITT of Claudia won't do it. Zoe is fine but I think Miranda and Marian would be fab

Tk considering all the JS stuff and that corbetts son been charged with indecent pictures of minors be supposed if they used Ronnie again on strictly

It was Ronnie Barker's son, not Ronnie Corbett's TheHuman. Just didn't want the wrong Ronnie's name getting tarnished!

I find Miranda Hart's "gosh aren't I ditzy"ness a bit tiresome. It was OK the first couple of times I saw her. Maybe we don't need a "celebrity" to present the show but someone who will just get on with it without wanting to take up time to feed their own ego by grabbing some of the limelight.

2becca the problem is that they are mostlu all egoists or they wouldn't be in the BIZ would they? I like Lisa Tarbuck or Darcey I LOVE her

I don't like Miranda [heretic]. I agree about the 'Gosh, I'm so dizzy' schtick; it is very obviously a schtick, or at least comes across like that, not genuine.

Marian Keyes though is fab and probably genuinely a bit nuts, and would be excellent company for tea and a blether.

We need a very capable presenter who isn't a presenter then. Nope it will have to be Sue Perkins. She would be fab.

Is there a little job for Gareth Malone? I love him.

Gareth could do behind the scenes, perhaps?

Then again, Claudia is very good at that. She seems to get on with all the dancers and slebs and bring out the best in them.

Maybe Gareth could roam the audience and ask who's their favourite etc.

I am trying to work out whether Gareth could present but I don't think he could. He could do Tess's bit no problem but then so could Sparkling Cat.

I LIKE Miranda it's not an act (inside knowledge ) She's very sweet.

She's on This Morning in a minute.

Well, OK, I'll accept it's not an act. I'm afraid she still annoys me though.

IKWYM Lady I first heard her on the radio and it wasn't brilliant since seeing her show (her humour is very visual IMO) and in Call the Midwife I've got a lot more of respect for her acting skills. I also like the fact that she's not the usual blonde dyed, skinny, big tits type that there are too many of on the telly.
