Don't like Darcey's "Yeah" - here's what you've also missed

So, the latest reason to attack the female Strictly judge is not dress sense, or accent, but a dreaded 4-letter word beginning with "Y".

But what really spoils Strictly for me, making it unwatchable, is the way that Bruno will never stay in his seat while delivering his comments. Up he goes like a helium balloon, waving his arms as ballast, and when he screws up his mouth as though he's sucked on a vinegar ice lollipop, I have to go and lie down with a wet sponge on my forehead.

And when I come back, there's Len with his horrendous way of swaying back in his chair before speaking as though he had to get the contestants into focus, or as though Bruce had halitosis. I don't know, but it ruins Strictly for me, and I have to go and lie down with a wet sponge on my forehead.

Then when I struggle back to the screen, there's Craig sometimes only agreeing to say 2 or 3 words as comment to the perspiring and quivering contestants who have just given their all. Is Craig on the same payscale as the other judges? If so, shouldn't he be saying at least 2 or 3 sentences of, let's say, 5 - 10 words each to justify his existence? This worries me so intensely that Strictly has become totally unwatchable and I have to go and lie down yet again with a wet sponge on my forehead, even when I rewatch the recordings.

Things Strictly related recently have caused me to have to go and lie down for a bit, but I havn't used a wet sponge yet, thanks for the tip.

Wet sponge is a kinder way to cure Spasms than either burning feathers or smelling salts.

I find that unloosening the stays helps.Haven't yet resorted to a swift smack around the chops. Have found that it helps to turn the sound off and look away when the judges are on.

I havn't tried burning feathers or smelling salts either, I'm not sure about Bruno though.
