JudyJudyJudy Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 No watched it in a few years but was last night esp Angela Rippon tearing the floor up at 78 , fantastic . Mind you I did hear the creaking when he lifted her leg up at the end . Maybe some more lubricant Angela ? Think it might be a good season . https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJ7WFtHg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 In fairness, Angela's really relying on that "TV royalty/nostalgia" factor, because she was, erm, a bit creaky. Nigel Harman was the surprise of the night, and I wasn't expecting either Amanda Abbington or Annabel Croft to do as well as they did. There was a definite split - more or less half the group doing competently and scoring high 20s, and the other half not really finding their feet. We'll see next week, but I reckon that by mid-November all of the bottom half of last night's leaderboard will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed she didn't, and she deserved to be in the top half of the leaderboard. Strictly fun fact of the day. Les Dennis and Angela Rippon have the same birthday.

His dance was fairly comical but I suppose its hard to separate the comic from the dramatic at times. ? If he stays in he may improve ? But I rather doubt it. Id agree with your assessment. Couple real human interest stories which tag at the heart strings. Annabelle Croft still grieving but getting on with life and the story of Bobby Brazier and how he has turned out to be a decent young man thanks to the parenting of his dad Jeff. I think this year it will be excellent Oh and since i haven't seen it for a few years I was pleasantly surprised to see a Vito Coppola. Unsure why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I don’t watch this but my interest was piqued a few minutes ago when I saw a friend ranting about one of the contestants on Facebook. She’s a stage manager and saw it for the first time tonight and was amazed to see someone she has worked with on the show. The interesting thing about that is that she worked with him for a company called New Adventures. A professional dance company. So I checked out his Wikipedia entry and sure enough he was a professional dancer before he was an actor and trained as a dancer. To a very high standard, as well as New Adventures he played Billy Elliott in the West End and toured in Hairspray. So Layton Williams surely shouldn’t be on it?

SecN Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) It’s just a popularity contest at the end of the day so someone who has more Insta followers or gets the grannies all wet will no doubt trump pro level contestants like Leyton Williams.

Layton is sensational, but the jive tonight left me a bit cold, TBH. Technically excellent, but no real vibe. Other than those two, it's not great, and probably the lowest standard I've seen since I started watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela's doing well, but the reality is that at her age she doesn't have the flexibility and "oomph" of the others. With Layton and Ellie, I think that unless one of them has a 'mare some week the judges will see them through because they're a cut above the rest. The rest are of a very similar standard, so a lot depends on the viewer voting. That's where Bobby (and to a lesser extent Nigel) will have an edge over Angela Scanlon and Annabel Croft, because a lot of soap viewers watch Strictly. Annabel might get a sympathy vote because of her personal circumstances, though. Because the winner is picked by the viewers, I don't think Layton will win - he's not well-known enough with the regular audience. That's why I think Ellie should be the favourite (she probably is, actually). Edited November 13, 2023 by Ulysses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anything about Ellie ( I assume she is an actress ) ? Ellie was in Coronation Street for years until earlier this year. I think a lot of voters won't be all that worried about Layton's professional background; it's just that they're more inclined to vote for people they see regularly on TV. Conversely, they're more inclined to vote for men than women; 12 of the 20 series have been won by men. For that reason, I think either Nigel or Bobby could be good outside bets. They're fellas, and they feature in soaps/TV dramas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
