Oooh, thanks for linking to the Ultimate Strictly site, ArtfulPuss. I've just been looking at the statistics - the increase in number of 10s given is pretty stark. I know we didn't have as many ringers in Ye Good Olde Days, but even so, to have gone from no 10s at all in S1 to a total of 28 last series is quite something. In the first 5 series, a maximum of one dance got a perfect 40 (but none at all in S1 or S3). It suddenly leapt to 5 perfect 40s in S6, aligned with Craig giving six 10s that series. So, has the quality of dahnce improved, dahlings, or has there been points inflation?
I also followed the links through to info about the band, but it didn't give me the identity of the Man in the Hat.
