I think Mark was a better dancer (I actually think Mark was quite good it's just his weight limited what he could do - a bit like a less good Lisa Riley without the off-putting elements) but I can see that. On a good day if he's not being totally rubbish like he was with the Paso or AS Ed has the same sort of charm to him and I enjoy watching him for the same reasons I enjoy watching Mark.
