Another poster somewhere brought back to mind the lovely blogs written for about 3 (was it 4) series by "John from Wales" before he quoted work commitments as his reason to stop.
Since then the number of contesting couples has gone up by 3 - 4, so I guess he has had a lucky escape from overload.
The thing was that his criticism was gentle, his remarks witty, and we all wanted to know his hamster's favourite. Not a hint of the (quite unnecessary) vitriol and hydrochloric acid regularly spilled out by some of the "contributors" to this Strictly Forum and certain tabloid columnists.
Others have tried to take over his mantle, and there was an octopus at some point - but it's hard work being a regular blogger, so nowadays we rely upon Monkseal.
Still miss Hammy, though.
