Ballroom dancing
is about harmony of partnership. It was an inspired idea to bring back one of the best loved celebs of all time in Penny, and to have her dance with Forum favourite Matthew. Husband singing and wife dancing made it a family act

.
Another all-time favourite in Jill Halfpenny brought back her emotional win in Blackpool 5 years ago. The magic of the pro dancers' formation dance showed intelligent use of the dance floor and camera angle.
I watched the show in non-HD and never realised there was a sound problem. Looks like the Beeb's sound engineers missed a heel lead and robbed the Beeb of four 10's.
Come Wednesday this poll will be emailed to 5 BBC tip-top managers, the Director General included. It will be read by top guys because this thread will drop
plop into their personal emailboxes. Anyone with views about Strictly visiting Blackpool again, this is your chance to say so. The more persons vote, the more credible this poll.
To the Beeb from myself one hard-to-please viewer -- well done. My right hand shoots into the sky with conviction, my paddle says
10.
