Calling all ex XF posters ! New Saturday night rosh by way of a Dancing competition!

[Roussette]

Will anyone be watching this new Dance programme on BBC1 on Saturday evenings?!

The judges (although they call them Dance Tutors or something very silly) are the bloke from Glee, frozen-face Cheryl and Oti from Strictly (who I love!)

Hoping @Raahh is around and all the XF gang!

I will deffo be watching particularly as back in the day, I used to work for ITV and used to go round my area judging Disco Dancing competitions. Those were the days, it's over 30 years ago!

I asked upthread single and no one responded. . Probably no one knows!

That was Shite with a capital S.

DOI is on tomorrow? Didn't know that. Might give that a whirl. (See what I did there?) Bring on the Skating Donkey!

I imagine the mysterious seated people in the auditions are to make it feel like a real audition and to tell them when to start and which way to face etc. All a bit weird. Well, we did try.

Hi Fuzzy OMG it could have been good but they let that looser through because he wanted to meet Cheryl??????? it makes a mockery of the whole thing. DUH to the producers.

Thanks BeholdTheNewCurtain, I didn't like him at all, he always looked like he needed a wash but he was good on the ice in fairness.

Ok catch up with some of you on the DOI thread so

Andrew demonstrated the power of dance - joy and transformation!

One is a choreographer
Can't remember what the other one was
No idea why they sit there tho

The other one was a producer.

Choreographer and producer, not sure if they have already worked with the acts or if they will work with them later though.

not sure if they have already worked with the acts or if they will work with them later though

It's not the acts that need working on, it's the format.

I watched it, it was cringeworthy, so I won't bother again. I am very glad not to be in the UK, so am not having my licence fee wasted.

ellen Ross O'Carroll Kelly is too much for a culchie like me

Talking about cats Fuzzy I was far more entertained by our cat watching through a window from inside, and squeaking in disgust because he couldn't get to, a robin hopping across the terrace to nick food from the outside cats' bowl which was under his nose!

Why is that programme called The Greatest Dancer in the singular? There are large groups of dancers being shown. Will they all win or will just one dancer from each group be picked out?

Surely there are some people who commissioned it who asked that question?

To be fair DOI was worse when I tried to watch it last year

Andrew was just fabulous! So much joy!!!

Yes Andrew was lovely mogloves he beat my cat! Great that he really LOVED dancing and he danced well.

Shame that the wall parted for a twit who couldn't dance, only fancied Cheryl

I watched the first two acts with the levels of freneticism ever rising, and decided I couldn't take any more. I usually like Oti, but if she doesn't calm down she's going to do herself an injury.

ppeat true. But he won't get far i hope

There was a palpable 'WTF' vibe coming off the audience, and I don't blame them. Fancy having to sit through hours of all that guff and film clips rather than seeing the actual acts.

Mind you, most of them wouldn't be able to spot a good dancer if they jumped off the stage and hit them with a wet fish.

Yes umpteen The dance captains seemed shocked that that classy, highly talented, male ballet dancer was not liked by the audience.

I felt sorry for the male ballet dancer, as he was clearly very talented.

Andrew was a joy to watch. He had very good rhythm and fluidity.

We turned over to The Voice when Chezza started roshing with that superfan with the delusional fiancee.

Roshing is really catching on

Is it me or does Cheryl look like she has a whole new face! She wears soo much make up it could be removed like a mask.

@Ppeatfruit Isn't the title just a reference to this club classic? although the pedant in me wholly agrees with you...
