hehe no the faffing annoys me, I also like the word "faffing"
Yes me too! It's one of my favourite words!

Right with you on cutting out faffing around on stairs!

There were an awful lot of pointless props last series - Matt's swing, Gavin's rugby ball, Scott's cauldron, Pamela's desks - to name but a few. Kara & Artem largely used props to enhance the dance - the chair in the tango, the hatstand in the AT, even the scarf in the foxtrot all worked well. But even they did some pointless thing with a pair of sun-glasses at the beginning of their jive. Why?

Other props that worked well were Scott's jive door and Jimi's Charleston windows.
The size of the cauldron in Scott & Natalie's VW was larger than even they expected that night. I remember Scott saying on ITT that the one they practised with was much smaller. But IMO it still produced the best Halloween dance of the night

...what you could see of the dance was excellent but, IIRC, the cauldron did rather get in the way of assessing his footwork. The over-use of dry ice (was there a single Halloween dance without dry ice?) was an irritant as well.

I know I was in a minority in hating Halloween night, and Scott was a favourite of mine, but the best Halloween dance was surely the bonkers Timewarp!

Oops! wondered why Stig had a poll on the Pros - yay or nay. Now I've read it properly and realise I voted wrongly....it should have been Yes if they add to a dance.' Well it is quite late on a Friday night................

I liked the use of props for Halloween but they annoyed me the rest of the series.
I began to think Dr Pammy was auditioning for a stripogram!

I liked the cauldron - a bit unfair though to give them a wee pot to practise with and then hit them with a swimming pool on the night!

I still don't get the swing
