Series Two is currently airing on BBC1 Wednesday Nights at 9pm - Don't miss it!

Ooh - I didn't realise Season 1 had London Grammar on the soundtrack. I love their song Sights, which was used at a really tragic moment in Home and Away!

Any one read this lovely interview with BA..........

God those photos are gorgeous

That's a nice detailed interview Kezia. BA is obviously quite a deep thinker. There was, however, one moment in the middle where the woman interviewing starts talking about herself that I could just hear Bridget Jones saying, "Can you tell me a bit more about that scene where you had to take your shirt off and sit in the paddling pool. Did you have to do lots of takes?"

Is there a scheduled watchalong!

Rhu

Yes mooj I believe we are planning 9pm tonight! Ilove has said she can make it. I have promised not to 'talk' all the way through SCD first because it would just be too exhausting!

Hurray, I might get to this one

I'll be manning the bingo booth at 9pm, but will try and pop in if I can. If anyone wants a card then they are on drive.google.com/open?id=0B4V-n-wQSev4MGNLaU1MWGhEVkk

For those on twitter there will be lots of beard love. I'm worried that Spanner episodes are limited from now on.

It's ok pix you can all have my share of the beard action - not a fan of face fuzz I'm afraid!

Ooh, just checked cast list for episode 4, more Spanner! Whoo-hoo! And Jackson, mooj

Yay for Jackson

Very glad we're not doing a SCD watchalong tonight Rhu. Half asleep so need to perk up before the CJ and Elvis (with a few others thrown in for good measure) watchalong I think. I don't know at least 2/3 of the SCD contestants and am struggling tonight to summon up the requisite enthusiasm.

I had my friend's two boys for the day and having taken them on another train trip, I think I need to lie down in a darkened room until 9pm.

Pixie you can have my share of the beard as well...........

Do we get to see Spunky pixie if Spanner and Jackson are going to be in another episode?

Yes, Elvis and the 3 SF guys are in next week.

We're also getting a Brigadier, who I'm guessing is the plummy sounding one who tells Georgie that Abu came back to the UK.

Thanks for all the extra beard rations. You can have my Elvis rations in return.

That's a fair swap pixie. Thank you. You get three lots of Spanner and I get Elvis as mooj isn't keen. Rhu are you wanting a share of Elvis?

The Captain and Major who are showing Georgie the photos of the white insurgents look so alike and sound the same, I can't work out which is which.

Enjoy the watchalong ladies I'm looking forward to reading your comments... Especially the hotel room scene and in bed with Dr 'selfish during sex' Cole! Xx

Can you not join us Maddie?

Yes please pix I'll take your Elvis rations - fair exchange is no robbery as they say!

I got my SCD fix by reading along to the SCD thread on here - I didn't of course join in as I need you lot 100% by my side. I will summarise my findings by saying:

Louise Redknapp - very good and bless her she's got knees like mine although all comparisons end at that point, I'm very sorry to say as thereafter I can't compete on any level.
Melvin - pink trousers, very brave needs a bit of work but I reckon he could improve a lot.
Danny Mac - looks like he's had professional training, good but hmm!
Ed Balls - bless him, I thought he was ok but the future doesn't look good.
Daisy Lowe - I thought that was a beautiful waltz
Tameka - enthusiastic, not afraid to give it a go, she will last a long time.
Claudia - bless her, hope her partner gets the best out of her technically. As for the gymnastics - lighten up Len it was only three elements, it was the introductory dance and as someone on the SCD thread said the time to get worried is when she throws a backflip into the Viennese Waltz.
Will - very good, Karen will get the best out of him and he'll go far.
Anastacia - well this smacks of the year when Brendan danced with the actress from Emmerdale and they were constantly accused of being 'filthy' but fantastic box splits - bit of flexibility envy although embarrassed on her behalf about Len's 'Rocky Mountains' comment -a bit sexist!

OK will be back at 9pm and just for reference ilove I won't be fast forwarding though the introductory bit. See you then!

Feel free to divide my Elvis ration smongst yourselves

Oh thanks for reminding me Rhu as I meant to ask about that last night and forgot.

ooh yes mooj more for us to divvy up ilove!

Unfortunately not ilove MrMads is watching what feels like 3 different sports at once and DS smashed my iPad screen so am a bit limited. Looking forward to reading your thoughts.

Sorry to hear that mads pesky kids and OH's eh!!

I've got some quiet time before sleeping, but I am half asleep now. I think I 'll skip this weekend's watchalong. Enjoy, people, and I'll read your comments in the morning ("Is Elvis a good'un or a bastard?". Discuss. )
