@awaynboilyurheid Amanda was in a relationship with Martin Freeman for many years (2 kids) but they never married. There was a big to-do a while back when she was going to have to declare herself bankrupt (no idea whether due to bad choices or bad advice) and people were asking why her extremely wealthy Hollywood-movie-starring partner was not helping out the mother of his children. I think he did pay off her debts in the end but they split not long after.

It takes a special type of bloke to be sitting on huge amounts of money (lest we forget the lead role in The Hobbit and a recurring role in Marvel films, alongside numerous big tv projects) and to have to be shamed into assisting his long-term partner and mother of his children.

Lentilweaver · 25/09/2023 11:28

I have gone off Martin now.

Have reported myself and am sitting on the naughty step! Wink Grin
(For those nosey as to what it was, I posted a clip of Nigel Harman and Ingrid Oliver in Plus One, a comedy from yesteryear with Daniel Mays, Miranda Raison and DuncanFromBlue playing himself).

We had a separate video thread to post links to videos last year, do we want to do that again?

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 25/09/2023 11:35

I think this was one of the best first weeks there has been for a while.

Yep, an absolute arse. It’s so disappointing when people who come across as credible, affable human beings turn out to be anything but. I always liked Nigel Harman - Nigel-Colin, Nolin - until I heard him tell the story (several times) of how he drove his delivery van straight back to the depot when he got the role in EastEnders. Would have been a very shitty day for the staff who had to try and cover that, never mind the customers. I may have to forgive him after his performance on Saturday night though. It’s a tough one 🙂

Lentilweaver · 25/09/2023 11:39

Totally agree @PolkadotsAndMoonbeams The ones who weren't great dancers were charming, like KGM and Angela R, and the ones who possibly aren't that charming - Layton for me- are good dancers. And then there are the ones who are both charming and good dancers, like Amanda and Nigel.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 25/09/2023 11:43

Oh fab Sheldonesque, I haven't properly caught up yet!

SheldonesqueSquaddieTwoStep · 25/09/2023 11:59

It starts off with the astoundingly beautiful Shurl and Michael Chapman dance polka

I know nowt about dance but this is absolutely nourishment for the soul. Just delightful. 😊

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 25/09/2023 12:39

Oh the lovely rumba. A glitterball gang favourite!

OrangesLemonsLimes · 25/09/2023 14:21

Amanda had a tough time with Martin but she’s definitely upgraded now! The chap in the audience, her partner, was handsome (and hopefully generous and monogamous). It’s always nice when things turn out for the better for decent people like Amanda. And, relevantly, she can dance!

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 25/09/2023 14:30

Yes, I have high hopes for Amanda. She’s good already and has ‘improver’ written all over her. Plus, Joe Varney’s very good with the older woman.

awaynboilyurheid · 25/09/2023 16:06

Oh yes caught up see she married an escapologist (!) think she’s def had some lessons prior to starting many do!

CrushingOnRubies · 25/09/2023 18:39

Annabelle is doing a quickstep to walking on sunshine- just been said on ITTO

Didn't Abby Clancy do that song with that dance when she won it

EsmaCannonball · 25/09/2023 18:46

Layton and Nikita are doing a quickstep to Puttin' On the Ritz. I love quicksteps to proper music. I'm very interested to see if Layton can do classic, old-school musical glamour.

EsmaCannonball · 25/09/2023 18:51

Do we think Fleur is on her way to an Andy Pandy convention?

I'd bet my house that he can't.

Angela S and Carlos jiving to Trouble by Shampoo. Hmm, not keen. Is it going to be a repeat of last year's awful Grange Hill dance, or are she and Carlos going to be staggering around a prop bus shelter with a kebab and cans of Diamond White?

Riverlee · 25/09/2023 19:01

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 25/09/2023 11:35

I agree. Lots of potential ‘growers’ and likeable characters.

SequinsandStiIettos · 25/09/2023 19:28

Lordy - a jive to Shampoo? With its Beastie Boys type girls' rapping? That's quite a slow jive.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 25/09/2023 19:37

I'm hoping Carlos has learned his lesson.

Aquarius1234 · 25/09/2023 19:50

I actually find Nigels personality quite boring.
The Colin thing. Totally not funny.
I hope Angela S gets better each week.
Hopefully Eddie too and maybe even Zara
.

I loved him in Eastenders but his Casualty character doesn’t do anything for me and I don’t particularly find him that attractive
either.

He seems to be a genuine guy though so even if he is a bit dull I’d prefer that to him being an arrogant twat 👍

I suppose there are many weeks ahead of us though for undesirable personality traits to start shining through…..

TheShellBeach · 25/09/2023 21:05

Agree 100%

Taytocrisps · 25/09/2023 21:29

DD and I did our now annual draw.

I got:

Adam
Ellie
Jodie
Layton
Les
Nigel
Nikita
Zara

We threw in a blank slip as well, to make an even number. DD drew the short straw there.
