Last thread here.

All ready for tonight's episode

Oliver Reed was the only comparatively "normal" character in his and Vanessa Redgrave's notorious film called The Devils . The last scene of his torturous brutal death was a masterpiece of acting, make-up and film shots and had many of the audience feeling /being sick including me.

Alex isn't supposed to have done any teaching (he competes as an amateur) so perhaps he's getting his teachers to help?

Haven't seen that film digerd, I liked him in Women in Love and Tommy (another excuse for him and Keith to party hard off set).

Who's Alex? Claudia's partner?

Was the film Whilst Down the Wind?

A quick Google suggests AJ trains at his parents dance studio in Cheshire but I can't pinpoint who his coach is. I think Neil Jones and AJ's partner Chloe are probably helping out with the choreography and training for the others too.

or "Whistle" even.....

Whistle Down The Wind was Alan Bates.

Think the Oliver - Hayley film was Take A Girl Like You.

Yes sorry, Alex/AJ - I've see him called both before.

Thought Louise did not deserve the high marks and whats with the dowdy outfits to not embarrass her husband , really? its part of strictly I wondered why she looked awful the first week she's v smug and annoying imho reminds me when she was on that weekend cookery programme and she wouldn't eat anything !
Loved Oti and DannyMac and the opening dance was just wonderful with the children and older couples still hate the Vt rubbish trips out etc just let us see more about the dances!

the dowdy outfits to not embarrass her husband

Hang on, did I miss something? Is that what they said? How Victorian. she does look awful in them

Zoe Ball is separating from Fat Boy Slim after 18 years of marriage. Hope she's OK as she starts her IT2 tonight at 6.30pm. and is usually so vivacious.

That's a shame. They came through a rocky patch once before didn't they?

Yes, I think they did. Always very sad after so long together.

Zoe and Slim? No!!! I just recently read an interview with him where he talked about how he met (she was a 'lunatic blonde woman' who came up and accosted him in Ibiza) . He sounded so happy about her.

According to Google, it was announced just 2 days ago.

Yes sad about Zoe and Norm. They seemed to have really tried to give it a go through some Rocky patches that other celeb couples don't seem to. So meone should tell Jamie Redknapp to stop being a twat. Married a popstar, turned her into a robot.

Just watched Zoe on IT2 and she was her usual lovely self. I wish it was an hour long as 30 mins is too short. Karen Hardy was on demoing the hip and leg movement necessary for Latin and she will be on again tomorrow. .

Ed does the Charleston next week and Anastasia will do the Salsa and Claudia and AJ the Waltz.

I'm no massive Jamie Redknapp fan but I think he might be getting an unfair deal here - I believe someone upthread claimed that Louise had requested modest outfits so not embarrass her family rather than her husband in particular.

I don't even know how true it is! Off to google.

Louise Linky

I refused to click on the daily mail link.
This one makes her seem like a right po faced old bore!

Finally caught up, joining in the Greg love, hating Louise's dress and wanting more proper beginners!

Digerd I purposely didn't see that "Devils" film. I hate blood and gore even pretend stuff!!

Strangely we live 50% of the time in Fr., near the town where it was supposed to have happened. It DID happen that monster Richelieu had a lot to answer for. I can't believe his town is a tourist attraction. Though it is an amazing place.

Yes Clawdy thanks, a very funny peculiar film called A Girl Like You.

After watching tonight's show, with Karen giving comments, I think Karen will defiantly be the next judge. Not sure how Darcy will feel having another female on the panel, though.

I missed ITT and I'm gutted that it's not on iplayer, as I really love hearing Karen's opinions.
