You see, dear W.U.M. that you are, the less material the dancers wear, the less problems they have with tripping up when performing their dance routines, particularly the more daring and audacious dances such as the Waltz!”

Its a shame the dancers today don't take a leaf out of the timeless Ginger Rogers book.

"BBC cuts sexy Strictly Come Dancing moves"

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...ing-moves.html

"An insider said: "Strictly has made a name for itself with its raunchy costumes and sexy routines."

"But bosses felt things had gone too far this year and stepped in before the show aired to get some of the moves clipped. "

Things have gone too far, Strictly Come Dancing is a family entertainment show after all.

Maybe they should show them from the waist upwards only - stop any of this damned lascivious filth!

How can Natalie be described as wearing a 'black dress', if she wears something like this on the show it would definitely have to be Eyes Up! and above the waist only shots.

We already have a boob cam above the stairs, there could be uproar if they place a booty cam at the bottom of the stairs as well.

The Garden of Eden was green throughout the four seasons.

You could hear the laughter of children and the bark of a dog, with sunshine in the afternoon and at sunset the song of the nightingale. At night warm in bed Adam and Eve heard the patter of raindrops refreshing the evergreen garden. At the top end of the garden a waterfall tumbled down a cliff throwing up irridescent spray.

Every Saturday evening the locals gathered for Eden Comes Dancing. Adam and Eve frequently won, with quickstep and sometimes rumba as their highest-scoring dance. They wore no costumes and caught no colds as the garden remained quite warm after the afternoon sun. Anyone want tickets?

Amazing, the Express who's proprietor is the biggest soft porn baron in the UK running an article about there being too much bare flesh on show.

Fred and Ginge had their own feather malfunction in 'Cheek to Cheek' from 'Top Hat'. As Fred Astaire commented later, "It was like a chicken attacked by a coyote, I never saw so many feathers in my life."

It was a standing joke between them, and Fred even serenaded her with his own version of the song:

Feathers — I hate feathers
And I hate them so that I can hardly speak
And I never find the happiness I seek
With those chicken feathers dancing
Cheek to Cheek

No sign of Widdy commenting on the shrinking Strictly Come Dancing costumes but Jason has joined the fray to have his say about the increasingly naughty routines.

"His comments follow reports that Ofcom, the television watchdog, has warned BBC bosses about unsuitable pre-watershed content on Strictly, including sexy costumes and suggestive choreography."

We need to go back in time and bring back all the lovely flowing gowns, we know they can do it Anita's dress last week was gorgeous and Lelu's dress this week was also lovely.

I can't wait to see what Widdy has to say about the shrinking costumes on ITT later today, I'm fairly sure they said she is going to be appearing on tonights show, lets keep our fingers crossed that they get Anne's best bits out for us too, that would be a treat.

That's it! I'm watching blindfolded tonight...and putting the cat out of the room in case he's traumatised.

It would be a very short segment

Hear Hear!

Oh wait...she didn't mean "To much flesh on show"? Damnit!

I'm a little confused by the people who complain that there is too (yes Terry, there are two o's in 'too') much flesh being exposed in Strictly. It's not compulsory by law to watch Strictly, so If you don't approve, then stop watching it - it really is that simple.

I don't like Eastenders because I think it's miserable and aggressive, but I don't start threads saying that the Beeb ought to make it more sunny and cheerful. I just use my common sense and don't watch it!

It's probably encouraged by places like the Daily Mail. They will run a couple of "too much flesh" articles during the run of Strictly Come Dancing whilst at the same time featuring lots of pictures of famous young women in far briefer bikinis and dresses though occasionally one will get their favourite "leaves nothing to the imagination" phrase even though no briefer than any of the others.

Oh yes, the wonderful Daily Mail, which thinks all women should be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen...and thin. The people who scribble for that rag really hate woman with careers, and women who use birth control or have had terminations (sorry, maybe shouldn't talk about such things on a light-hearted thread like this), or who are even slightly overweight. I wouldn't even use the DM to line my cat's litter tray!

If they did decide to get Ann's best bits out for us they would have to extend the show to make sure all of her highlights could fit in.

Less than half an hour to go, Ann is sure to comment on the shrinking costumes, and possibly even the boob cam at the top of the stairs, that really does need to go.

Actually if you have a discerning cat, using the DM to line his litter tray will possibly encourage him to "perform" in the right place

Strictly Come Dancing is a Family light entertainment show on in the early evening so the whole family should be able to watch it without all the near nakedness from the girls, the topless guys, the fleshings, Lens leerings, a boob cam, booty shaking and Harry being constantly winked at by one of the judges although there has been a warning about that apparently.

Shrinking dresses are fine, it's all part of dance styles/cultures and the glamour of Strictly, but that fixed camera staring straight at the cleavage is just a cheap tit-shot for the hell of it.”

I wonder if any one will ask Widdy's Question Time about the Boob Cam and the shrinking costumes.
