Are you going to keep us guessing darlo? 

No it's Goldie.

*leaves note for Brisket...... remember to pick up sequinned outfit from cleaners tomorrow morning*

  Will do Baz     Thanks for reminder. 

Thinking back now about the CCC, even though I liked her thought it was a joke Lisa Snowdon got 4 10's for hers when Alesha only got 39 for hers which was way better.


About this dance troupe, maybe some of those who are taking part this year may go into that next year and those that missed out will compete then?.

Goldie responded to me on Twitter.


Fellow SCD fans I will post the official BBC SCD Twitter page (on the first page of this thread) , they're always posting the latest updates so have a look.

That's great darlo 

Goldie seems to put a lot of effort into the things he does. He is motivated and will certainly be trying his best. 
And thanks for putting the twitter link on the front page. 

And again Brisket.


 Goldie, Matt, Pamela, Patsy, Paul and Scott all performing tonight, others tomorrow obviously.

Yeah he's very determined, he has charisma and I think he could go far in the competition.. putting bias aside because he's from my neck of the woods.

I can only find 1 bookmaker who is offering odds on the first eviction.
Hardly surprising, since no-one has danced a step yet.
Favourite to be eliminated first is Paul Daniels at 3/1
Then Peter Shilton at 7/2, followed by Pamela Stephenson at 4/1

Betting odds will become more reliable after they have all danced.


Keep tweeting darlo  ....you seem to have a magic touch

The revamped SCD titles, very glam!.

I have found this clip from the 1934 film Moulin Rouge starring Constance Bennett. The song Boulevard of Broken Dreams was originally written for this film. If you play it, you will probably understand why I have posted it.

Thanks for the clip El Loro.  (I have never seen such flexible concertinas!)
I have just heard a very strident version (tango almost inevitably) of this on a trail for The Apprentice. Very effective.

brisket, the version which the BBC have been using is by Tony Bennett (unrelated to Constance Bennett). I knew it had been used to plug The Apprentice but I wasn't going to start a thread for that (I'm not aware there is one), but put it here as Strictly is also from the BBC and starting at around the same time.

Edited - just seen the separate forum for Apprentice which isn't visible unless I scroll down the fromt page. So I have posted the previous clip and this clip there as well.

Thanks very much El Loro.  And for  seeking out the other thread/forum.
And yeah that is the version they are using to trail. The Apprentice.
I am ashamed to say that I had not realised it was Tony Bennett, who has, I always think, such a distinguished voice. 

Sorry that I won't be able to be with you in this thread tonight.
I am hoping to see the programme, but I won't be near my computer.
Hope it's good and that you all enjoy it.
I'll read your comments tomorrow.
