I loved this years show but got to say I feel it was disgraceful that us Scots had no Scottish Dancer we could follow this year

Shame on you BBC

Maybe no Scot was available? We might have one next year.

I wonder who might have taken part? Subo, maybe?

(There's an alarming thought!)

Well vote for independance and you can have your own Strictly with all Scottish Celebs !!!

Although the New Zealand version ended as NZTV couldn't afford to run it, so maybe not.

Andy Murray was linked to the show this year but I am led to believe that there is a reluctance to get him on the show as a contestant as he is in the running to replace Bruce as Host when the great man eventually retires

They've been banned after Blulu. She broke the programme for Scotland.

I think they did ask Sir Chris Hoy (seriously he was considered) but refused, that's why they went for the other cyclist....... What was her name again?

Really ?

Ah, remember Lulu. This is why I prefer that my fellow Scots stay off the telly. We always end up being the villains.

I have been sad ever since we lost Lulu, it only she had a partner of similar height to her Tom it would have all been so very different

Yes I agree....I remember there was some sort of controversy that year and it got the nickname of Lulu gate on here

Shocking so it was

Why should there be a Scottish contestant?

If they had to fulfil a quota to cater to every possible sensitivity then they might as well not bother. Can you imagine what it would be like trying to hire contestants if there was a requirement for there to be at least one Scot, one Welsh contestant, one gay/lesbian contestant, one Muslim, one Catholic etc etc.

We deserve it.....5 million out off 55 million is nearly 10%

We should always have 10% of contestants in every reality show

Its casue we dont that there is a chance we may be indepnedant soon

I think they have enough complication in deciding on the contestants. Would there be about 40 % from the South East with that logic, then a quota from Lancashire, Yorkshire, East Anglia etc with Wales obviously as well.

Should there be quota system with the professionals also.

I can just imagine the post independence Scottish version. Filmed in a typical corrugated iron hall with just one person playing accordion and someone moaning about there being no one from Shetland.

Why? Because they're far too busy being belligerent drunks perhaps?
