Aaaaaaarghh! Maths! Cruel, cruel Deise. Now we're definitely in black hole territory. I have no idea, but you're probably right. Even though my instincts tell me that there's a bit of skulduggery going on. Can't help it. Right brained. No hope. None.

Voted like mad and the percentage never changed at all. As you all say, very odd indeed

Yes, I've just looked again after Deise's explanation, and it doesn't appear to have moved at all. I didn't vote - either the whole thing's crashed or someone's playing silly b*ggers. (technical term for the innumerate)

Oooh logic, I love it!

Basically both sets of voters are voting to ensure their vote share doesn't fall, even if minutely.....I think that's right?

Anyway it's a busted flush, as Ano says. Can anyone else imagine J winking at them from that pic, and saying something like "I really appreciate your efforts, but you do realise the sun's shining out there?"

But I'll keep voting when I can.....

ETA I was never a fan of sunshine......

I was just thinking 'does anyone else feel a bit silly? (in a nice way of course)

There are comments at the bottom of the page and it seems hairy Poldark's supporters are feeling the same about the poll as we are.

jnb I have pm'd you

eta page of the RT poll, sorry

Hello Isih I'll be silly for J any day of the week .......but I think perhaps he'd rather we were silly in other ways??

I hate to give up, though.....

Your knee may be dodgy, Lindy, but I can confirm that those delicious physios haven't turned your brain to mush yet


Well, no more silly than when I was wibbling over whether J would win a silly plastic glitterball in a Saturday night dancing/popularity contest

I don't mind being silly, either (in fact some would say it was my default position) but like Ano says, this looks like a losing proposition.

However, by Grabthar's hammer - never surrender!

DD - very good point!

Radio Times isn't owned by the BBC - it's owned by the Immediate Media Company, which isn't anything to do with the Beeb.

BBC hasn't owned the Radio Times since 2011


I loved the old Poldark too jnb, and loved the books even more.

DD thanks for the explanation - I understood it

Isih, Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest was brilliant! So funny in such a dry way


BTW it's been really hot in beautiful downtown Burbank for days and days. LA has been having a terrific heatwave

Lola, Whiffle - I have taken liberties with your ideas - are you happy for this to go into the jobs list?

MISS LOLA'S SCHOOL OF DANCE AND FACIAL EXPRESSION - WORK IN PROGRESS
Lola the cat <<I have had some thoughts about Miss Lola's School of Dance and I will post later about entry requirements and details of the syllabus we will follow. I will be looking for other "dance and facial expression" teachers to assist me in our school, it is a collective school now. I'm all for inclusivity. A certain James McG has agreed to become patron and attend lessons as he obviously needs a little help in the "facial expressions" part of his performance, I'm sure between us we can turn him into a performer that even Miss Karen will be proud of>>
Lesson 1
Whiffle_09 <<Now, for some reason I have been unable to get Miss Karen out of my head>>
Here are the examination papers in preparation for the new season
APPOINTED: Lola the cat, Whiffle_09

Just had another quick look at the results and they don't appear to have budged in either case. Lots of people on both sides complaining in the comments section. Maybe there have been so many votes it's tipped the whole thing over?

I have been voting steadily for the last hour and have seen Jay's share change in 0.01% increments from 35.92% up to 35.97% and back down to 35.89%.

Must admit Jnb, much preferred original Poldatk myself. Superior in many ways to current one and not just the casting.

And on another note......have just booked an extra ticket for Keep Dancing on 7 Sept (which is a Wednesday matinee). Dear OH has agreed to come with me as I'm still not confident about travelling at the moment....not long now, I hope!

Anyway....the point is, it seems to me that ticket sales are picking up a bit. Could be because MK just released their summer / autumn brochure. I guess not everyone hangs on J's every move as we do.....

Keep Dancing?

People in a Show
All lined in a row....
They had a lot of applicants for the show.

They now have Anya Garnis on board, which is a big plus.

Chelsee Healey - only doing one date on KD, but she is higher profile now having joined Hollyoaks for a stint.

Louis Smith - might be a gold medallist at the Olympics, before the Show - fingers crossed.

Show start is now less than 5 weeks away.

I hadn't seen the first picture with so many dancers at the auditions, so thank you, but this poster strikes me as being a bit odd- it's Robin's show, and yet he is squashed in at the bottom right as 'Special Guest star"?

The MK brochure just has that generalised picture of a couple as the major focus....both Jaliona and Robin are very much less obvious. Odd......

Same happened me - got slight increases for it to disappear again immediately & got a few tweet replies telling me they were humans 🤔... who didn't 💤
I didn't bother replying 😊 Jay won his section👍 & beat Comedy👍 and won the ones that mattered SCD 2015 ✨🏆✨and SCD Tour 2016 😄🎉

Seriously, I think I'm the kiss of death on the RT poll, every time I have a voting session I manage to make the percentage go down 😥

It's all my fault said Eeyore

It seems to be part of an American setup which creates theatre shows, and Robin seems to be the assigned 'Name' to be the co-ordinator of this Show.

It's not clear what the format is.

I seems to be a dance based show with a highlight section for a guest Star or Stars.

I think they need to have a clear idea of what the Show is and why people should buy tickets.
The Strictly connection is a good start. I think Anya can up the quality of the choreography and dancing, and at least they have been training for a couple of weeks now. Given the Strictly link, they should be gearing the rest of the show towards that type of audience, and with Robin and Anya involved, they should be able to do that.

No its not you Lola. From 3.00 when the poll opened then during last night I went cross eyed right up till about 3.30 this morning trying to get that damn thing to increase.
Everytime I voted, down the percentage went. But if I didn't vote there was no change.
Spooky.😱

Either

we're pressing the wrong button or

the poll has the wrong button linked or

nobody gives a flying fox as long as they get the attention!

Yes, there might have been humans who don't sleep voting for Mr P, but nothing will convince me there wasn't manipulation going on too.


BIB - There were, I think, 522 names at the start of the poll and Jay is in the final 4.


And 🎉🎉🎉🎉for the glitterballs!!

But he deserves to be number one!! ahhh oh well nobody can say we didn't try

He does, but some people have no taste.
