Just been watching some old Strictly videos on youtube.

Look who I spotted at 4:09 in the above link....

Good spot Jiroos and I love watching the old videos

Thanks Pink!

The old videos bring back some really great memories and are perfect for getting you in the mood for the forthcoming series!

Kate and anton should have went ages ago at the time, what do people see in anton and his choreography? Why is it he is so likeable when he doesn't stand a chance of winning? IMHO he to me can act like a rounded up bellend at times.

He's light-hearted and doesn't get too competitive
He genuinely cares for his partners and, even though they may not be the best dancer, he strives to make the experience unforgettable - FOR THEM.
He's quick-witted
He doesn't take the show nor himself too seriously, gently poking fun at both

However it IMHO is a dancing competition, I doubt it if he is gonna win this year although the presenters show favouritism to him.

It's a <by and large, don't look series 6 or 7 in the eye> feel good, Saturday night family entertainment show based around learning to dance decided in part by a public vote - so the personalities are always going to play a part (I still maintain for the celebs rather than the pros). A bad celeb who connects with the viewers will go further than they should - in the same way good celeb seen as standoffish will possibly go earlier than expected. A bad celeb with a bad appearing attitude will be unceremoniously dumped as early as possible and a good celeb with a good attitude will win. It's the variables that make it interesting.

I think the media manipulate how we vote and that, so does ITT and other programmes as well consisting of scd contestants in.

Sod thw media, I'll vote for who I want.

Even the media were sympathetic to Kate and anton for a bizarre reason.

Thank you for that jiroos, thats amazing.

Great spot jiroos! Katie doesn't look any older either!

That video was a lovely walk down Memory Lane and reminded me of what a great job Ola did with Kenny. My favourite series still.

Thanks both for your nice comments. Glad you enjoyed the trip down Memory Lane too - classic Strictly!

Thank you jiroos, there is nothing like a trip down Strictly Memory Lane

Thanks for the old Strictly clip as well as a trip down Strictly memory lane it was also a trip down Rugby World Cup memory lane as well so very fitting at the moment.

Thanks for the video, reminds me of the times when I couldn't wait 'til Saturday evening.

Me too dennis.

And me. Back then I never went out on a Saturday night because the show was on!
