Well guys I filmed all Jay's dances and the Q&A. The quality isn't great but will give you some idea.
I will liaise with Arnostae about how to post them somewhere you can see them.

The VW to a David Gray number and the rumba to a Leona Lewis number were beautiful. Those lovely, lovely arms.

The Q & A was a hoot.

The audience just loved Jay and Aliona.

More to follow.....

I owe them thanks. They popped up in Strictly at just the right time for me, when there were sad things going on in real life, and they provided that little bit of joy and beauty that helps you through the darker times. They brought to me a much greater appreciation of dance in general, too.

Looking forward to continuing to follow lovely Jay in all that he is doing, now - we need people like him, a little beacon of sweet, thoughtful humility in a sea of ego and arrogance.

Hope we get to hear a little about Aliona, too, as the family grows - may she and Vin have a passle of little 'uns and a sunny future in Florida!”

This. Oh yes this😄

I will be continuing to follow Jay and his life all I can here and I hope all current posters (plus any lurking newbies) will be along for the ride. I think he's an exceptional man in many ways and I'm so pleased he's 'in the world'. He's truly one of life's enhancers.

BIB This and follow Aliona in her new life. (Just in case there is a chance a dance reunion..😄..)

Logging on I feel that little sprinkle of stardust that comes at the end of the BIG The Musical trailer, it's lovely to see and support someone making their way in a difficult world, spreading goodwill wherever he treads. May life always be as kind to him as he is to others.”

BIG glittery future

I can just see Jay with an invisible 6ft 31/2 in rabbit as his friend ”

What!!!! All I can picture now is Jay dressed as a rabbit being chased by me dressed as Elmer Fudd😂😂

Why not focus on the people who love and care for you....and of course Jay, and his stellar progress? How much nicer it would be, when that expanded so much, that all your doubts and fears, are squeezed out.”

Who'd a thought just over twelve months ago that such a wonderful singer/dancer/actor would emerge from the caveman chrysalis.

You are a diamond jayfan

ETA - not sure whether to come back on and say that that was not intended as a double entendre or whether it makes it worse that I have just realised that it was. Where's the manager of the double entendre when you need her?! I'll go away quietly and continue defrosting the freezer.”

Oh god Janet, I am so sorry, I take full responsibility for mentioning rabbits - even if I didn't mean "those" rabbits

You have no idea where my mind has wandered to, the gutter isn't even close - Jay as my rabbit

Please come out of the freezer, it must be getting chilly in there now.

No worries - all my fault!

I wasn't thinking of those rabbits either when I posted ( I had just watched and smiled at the 'Harvey' trailer) but when I saw my post in print, I couldn't decide if it was worse if you all thought I was filthy minded and had meant it as a double entendre or if it proved that I was filthy minded because I had realised that it was.

And, yes, I drifted a bit close to the gutter once I had thought about it!

Oh fatskia, that's far too sensible and probably correct - I'm still thinking of Jay as my invisible rabbit

Not sure I should be admitting that to you as a bloke - oops!

My best wishes for things to work out for you Janet, and for the cause of the pain to heal.

There was always a chance that there wouldn't be anyone who could take up your kind offer re. KD tickets. Having specific expectations of the future means more chance of them not being met? - maybe more so on a forum - but this thread is still a good place to visit IMO.

You have contributed a lot to making it a good thread, so I hope you always feel it's a good place to visit.

Want to come over and do mine while you're at it? Mine is not so much a freezer as one big block of ice.

After spending part of yesterday thinking it was Saturday and being disappointed when I realised Strictly wasn't going to be on in the evening, I am now constantly forgetting that it's Saturday and that Strictly Blackpool *drink* is going to start in a few minutes.

It should have been a perfect score

Wheel of Wonder with Jay

Same restrictions as with TT would apply

ETA: Would need a pm to send the link. Will take about 5 hours to upload one part (2GB each).”

I really love those pure and simple dances. Guy in tails, girl in long, floaty dress, just turning and turning. No faff, just dancing. Makes me kinda weepy.

I doubt they'd have time to change the choreo but I bet it was gorgeous if it was that song. That's my fave VW ever (I love Jay's but it was a naughty contempowaft. Harry's is my fave Propah VW)

Which considering it was the week he did two dances and travelled home on Thursday, he can be as naughty as he likes in my book
