Housekeeping : If the thread goes down like last week it’s not anything to do with me, complaints to Site Stuff

100 posts left on previous thread but majority agreed to a weekly thread so here we are, please board the glitterbus

I’ve put NO SPOILERS but I don’t think we have an elimination this week. In any case the Spoiler Thread is here :

Yes! That's the couple I remember (I think)

I am glad it isn't just me making it up but it's so annoying I can't find it's name.

I think they only did one series which was a shame as it was nice to have a show with normal people in it. I am guessing it was way before the days of social media presence and content creators. A bit like how the first Big Brother was 'boring' to people (though the early series were the ones that were actually enjoyable as it wasn't just people seeking fame).

Show quote history

Omg I thought the first few big brothers were huge!!!

Ooh the mystery celebrity is good!

the80sweregreat · Yesterday 19:55

He was so good. Craig isn’t keen :(

First series of Strictly was Sport Relief.

I think she means the Cheryl Cole one.

Show quote history

Oh right. It always bugs me what the show is that I remember. It had a Strictly like format but no slebs.

littlbrowndog · Yesterday 19:55

Loved it. So much energy and fun

Was it called So You Think You Can Dance?

Show quote history

Ooh I think this is it! This has been bugging me for years!

Whos Sarah?

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · Yesterday 19:56

Gosh, Craig sounded just like Len then. I do miss Len.

BatshitCrazyWoman · Yesterday 19:56

Gosh he was very exuberant...

bananaobama · Yesterday 19:56

Google says he’s a professional dancer

Yes it was entertaining. Surely that's a good start.

RainbowSnake · Yesterday 19:56

I wasn’t a fan of that. Not enough quickstep to it.

ExtraOnions · Yesterday 19:56

Craig is right, it wasn’t a Quickstep

There are rules around each dance, and if the judges are going to ignore them, anyone can do anything

AnneShirleysNewDress · Yesterday 19:56

It wasn’t really a quickstep but I enjoyed it.

Show quote history

Sarah Storey, multi gold medal winning Paralympian from Disley, Stockport 😁

Moonnstarz · Yesterday 19:57

Anyway sorry for digressing.

I am not into this series yet, just watching because my daughter is. Not keen on Josh or Johannes as presenters.

I also find it goes on far too long until some are culled. I also wish they would cut a lot out and just do the dancing and scores!
