After a ruddy rotten night (fireworks finally stopped at 0100), I am here to add me tuppence. I haven’t read anything above because I want to watch it ‘live’ so apologies if I’ve repeated anything.
Pardon me mother but Aljaz would make a perfect filthy Bond. I would. Sorry Janette. This aud gal is old enough to be M. For mam.
Right. Am knuckling down.
Nicola and KatME
Nicola has just the most stunning smile. It makes her face beautiful to look at. I have a face like a Blobfish (mouth like a monkfish!) so appreciate beauty where I see it.
I think she looked a bit leaden and a tiny bit behind. The arm stuff wasn’t my bag but it was clever.
I do blame the costume a bit. It maybe made things liok worse than they were. She seemed to have the leftover material on her costume that was trimmed off Katya’s one. Only skin could have been tighter.
Ah - John Cleese! Loved the yawning! 🙂
MEasie and Pgorka
Rolling out the mumME card? Already. Jesus. Both look haaaaard work and hungrier for their 15 minutes than my old lab was for chips.
It was pretty and she did dance beautifully. But I felt feckall. Sorry.
I care not for that version. Now if they’d had a bank of bellRINGAZ that would have been more appropriate.
Oh and out wheels the family and the dog. Is the sister trying to make Betty the new Pudsey with the ‘huwwwooooo’? Gwooooodbaaaie.
CQ and Johannes
Oops you - we’ve gone a wee bit luvvie... not quite sure what the full name thing is. My last name is B’stard. Naturally.
Anyway. I liked it but I didn’t love it. I felt as though it was at about 50%. The face was giving it laldy. The body just seemed to be sat in the stalls, stuffing itself silly on popcorn and pick n mix.
She doesn’t seem to do constructive criticism terribly well does she? Just snap out of luvvie and start being livvie re the dance.
I agree with the sentiment re theatre peeps. Times must be hard down this road. 
Jason and waspeating Luba
I haven’t seen StarWars all the way through. I’ve seen snippets. And I love Yoda. My wrinkle twin.
If Nicola was leaden, then Jase was diesel. I didn’t feel that as a doble. I think Lube has done him a bit of a dis-service. It didn’t suit the music and seemed a bit off. It wasn’t his thang. Which is a bit of a shame because he seems like such a lovely chap. I do like folk who smile a lot. But I’m afraid I’m in the miserable looking bugger camp and couldn’t crack a smile for this one. Lube - you done did ya man wrong Missus.
I wonder if he’ll be having another shot at it - I think maybe so.
Jj and Ames
I don’t know if this was great but I bloody loved the simple gentleness of it all. And I watched it through misty eyes (not cataracts)
I thought it charming. And for me it is all about how I feel. It doesn’t have to be fantastically complicated and brilliant to make you feel something. I thought it quite beautiful. I know nowt about the dance but it made me feel. And for a battle hardened, weary, tired old soul who know all about raindrops keeping a falling? That takes something. Well done and thank you.
vowel thief and Janette
Rocking the gnome stuff again. Meh. I think they would have been more suited to Peter Pan and the Tinkerbell. (More so with the ringahness)
Danced well enough (no surprise there) but have no idea if it constituted a chaaaachaaaaachaaaa.
But could have done without the pelvic thrusts. He looks about 10. I felt dorty.
Ranvir and Jv
Lucky bugger getting in that Spitfire. I’ve cleaned them but I doubt it would have taken off with me in it.
She looked lovely though. And I enjoyed her dance very much. Very elegant and JV is bringing out the best in her. I think she is a contender. I really do. I didn’t get the same tug on the old ticker as the other one but I loved it all the same. I am hoping for her to get her spirits lifted and her Earth moved by JV. In every sense. He should be available on prescription.
Beauty and the Biscuits
Am waiting for someone to tweet that they have destroyed an architectural treasure...
Charleston and biscuits? It should work very well.
Sadly he looked too much like Jimmy feckin Savile for me to concentrate. Either that or Kate Jenner.
Craig said he had to hit the lines.
Aye. That and testosterone.
Al Bond and Clara Galore
Boulez vous couchez and the rest? Yes please. The skirt!!!!! Do they make that in ‘fat’ ?
Loved it. Yessuh.
Homey and Maaaaaarj
Crikey he has a beautiful farmlee.
But the moment and pretty grand routine, dare I say, was ruined at the sight of a damp gusset. Put it away lass.
He did well.
I’m wondering if he is going to show his testes next week for an encore.
Bill and Oti
Namaste Bill. Bloody love you.
You give me joy. Not in a gusset way. In the heart. His musicality was superb. Bang on the tuuuuuuunes.
I’d avoid the vowel thief. Jump aljaz. (Sorry again Janette) But I’d marry Bill. (If he was free Mrs Bill)
Final bound. He has to be.
Love him. That is all.
I did pause to shed my quiet tear at the Remembrance. Seemed even more poignant this year.
Until Priti rocked up and did her quiet bat people wreath laying.
My life.
