It's not like the zombie would know when their limbs might fly off...are you ageist when it comes to zombies? They're not different types of zombies. They all eat brains, and after awhile their limbs might come off. Please, have some sympathy for the poor things.

I've got an idea. How about only having pro dancers, no celebs. Only have qualified judges who mark using real criteria. No public vote so it's not a popularity contest but a dance competition.

Hmm. Just need to think of a name for this...Coming Dancing?.... Really Strict Dancing?

Come on off it! Zombies not knowing when their limbs fly off, it's like imagining that people have facial true facial expressions rather than faked ones. Zombies know very well how to use these limbs to their absolute advantage, it's a fact!! I don't have sympathy with them, they signed up for the show, so they should behave exactly in the way that i want them to behave.

Sorry, but zombies already get way too much press. Have you seen the amount of films they've been in the last few years? It wouldn't be fair - what if one of the zombies was a popular one from Shaun of the Dead?

Well maybe we need to get zombies with a similar popularity level on the show. As long as none of the zombies are BBC presenters, we should be fine.

Firstly, SCD has always combined dancing and popularity within the context.

Secondly, suggesting that a light entertainment show contestants should abide by the same rules as those who stand in election to get the opportunity to run the country LMAO

Sorry but they've already had far too much coverage on ITT this year for their entry into the competition to be viewed as fair

Indeed, and given that this film appears in nearly every list show going in the run up to christmas they would definitely be receiving more media-wide coverage than the other zombies.

P.S. Having clicked the link with a sigh in my heart this is actually turning out to be the best thread in weeks

And they'd have Simon Pegg supporting them. Can't have someone with media backing like that. we'd have to select our zombies very carefully...


Well if people will ask silly questions they should get silly responses...

My god you people are stupid! Zombies don't know anything! They are innocent! Please stop the zombie bashing! It's the producers and the editing! They're ruining everything!

By the way, I feel the same way. A bit of lighthearted fun, something we need desperately on here.

And can I just say I really don't mind zombies at all..... as long as they do not give me their silly sob stories

I favour robots. Why spoil the show by including humans or ex-humans who might always display inappropriate emotions and facial expressions. A robot can display a consistent facial expression throughout their rumbas and tangos. We should of course exclude any pigeon toed ones, or ones with splayed hands in case they upset Craig.

He has over 100,000 followers on twitter, we'd have to get a court order or something to stop him mentioning SCD on it.


But you just know they're going to bang on about being dead all the time Like that's meant to make us feel sorry for them and vote

Not to mention any that have previously built up a following on Robot Wars

I think we should not let any Dr Who robots take part either. Although the daleks would be perfect (similar looks, no emotions), I'm sure they have lots of followers, which would be so unfair.

In response to Philly

"My god you people are stupid! Zombies don't know anything! They are innocent! Please stop the zombie bashing! It's the producers and the editing! They're ruining everything!"

Sorry you are obviously very gullible and you are so easily taking in by all this exposure that zombies had on TV. I suggest we take your right to vote away. You cannot be trusted to make the right decision.

The daleks would also leave Len with nothing to do. Everyone knows that it is Len's job to look at the footwork. So I agree with you, no daleks.

This is getting complicated.

What about Cyberman then? Although, they still have human brains, so some of them could display human emotions. And to be fair, the way the gurn all the time is very offputting. Back to the drawing board (or the zombies).

Loving these humorous posts. However, I have a better idea why don't they have a programme of people who can't help starting stupid threads like this one. You know the people I mean, the ones that their favourite has been knocked out and they are trying to get the rules changed to suit them.

With Cybermen you just know Bruno would moan about the stomping, and they never point their feet - nope, sorry, zombies it is

Errm, You do realise that other BBC presenters have been on before Chris? Off the top of my head, Spangles won, the BBC breakfast news guy (whose name I should know as I watch it all the time) was pants and Gethin Jones did reasonably well.

I watch the BBC breakfast news every day, whilst they are supportive of Chris, there was always an element that they couldn't believe how well he was doing and it is only in the last couple of weeks they have started to think that he could actually win the show. They were not urging for support at all.

That said, I have watched other SCD contestants being interviewed on there regularly and their interviewers have always been impartial and positive in their discussions.

I just get the impression that they are pleased for their work colleague and there is nothing wrong with that.

Don't you think that you are taking SCD a bit too seriously? After all, it is only a TV show?

Did you put a bet on the zombies? What is so special about them? Surely they cannot be technically better than the robots (they know how to dance those things). Don't tell me it's all about entertainment with you

Ok that one caught me offguard.

I want to see yeti on SCD - especially after a wax.

Aren't yetis rather tall? In which case, how is Vincent to manage? Sorry, but I think yetis would disadvantage the shorter dancers. (And they do have rather big feet, which must be a disadvantage.)

Yeti's are clearly too tall to manage a Jive, I'm not going another series without a decent Jive
