Should be very interesting this year Omah, I’m looking forward to it…
Never watched it and never will. It’s just mental chewing gum, in the manner of “I’m a Celebriity…”,“Bake Off” et al.
Too many egos for me, but I hope folks keep watching it, I would hate to think a repeat episode of Wheeler Dealers would crash because of a switch of allegiance.
Have I missed something, because how can Anton judge if he is dancing?
Or was he voted off last week?
I think Anton and Jacqui Smith were the first ones voted off, Mups… 
Oh, thank you Mags.
I’m all of a muddle. 
You’re welcome, Mups
Knitting eh? I’m finally in the clique. :-p
No change there then. 
I bet there was a lot of rewinding done last night when Claudine Winklemann made an announcement about Max… saying a very naughty word!!
I’m sure not a lot of people noticed he’d said the bad word until she made the apology.
Well that’s it, all over for another year.
I must say I enjoyed it, I think they all managed to put on the show very well under the circumstances this year.
I am so glad Bill and Oti won, I was hoping they would.
Bill is such a gentleman and he did just as well as the youngsters this year.
Made me quite tearful at the end.
He is a great animal lover in real life too, so he’s a good all round fella in my book.
I’m pleased Bill and Oti won, considering his age he was so light on his feet and quite a mover … even though it made him out of breath. 
I have tried google without success. Who is Bill?
I agree Mags, but in all fairness, some of the energetic dances made the youngsters puff and blow, too.
I think he seemed a genuinely nice man. A good dancer, and so modest and polite. No showy ‘celebrity’ airs and graces whatsoever.
Perhaps this is Bill (Bailey)? No idea personally as I don’t watch that programme, this I found in a previous link on the thread:
Scott, try Google Google Strictly come Dancing results, or else just - Who is Bill Bailey.
Yes Baz, as you say, it is all in the link.
Thanks Baz. I don’t watch it myself either. Just wondered who this old timer was.
Thanks Mups as well.
oh my word, don’t tell me you’ve changed your gender now Basil
I’m working on it.
Oti winning is no surprise. She was always going to win if you know what I mean. She is always up the front in anything connected to Strictly, the others don’t get a look in.
