No I'm not offended by everything, I just find people who torture and kill innocent children shouldn't be used as part of a 'joke', if you have children I hope that they don't suffer the fate of those killed by the Moors murders, maybe then you would understand.
Were you one of their victims? If not, you don't get to tell other people what is offensive and what isn't. Presumably you're not allowed to make Hitler gags either? If not, Mel Brooks would like a word.

The way you punish horrible people is by making them into jokes, by showing they do not get special treatment, by insulting and degrading them.

I have to side firmly with FrankMag. A light hearted thread like this is intended to be fun and jokey. Introducing a Moors Murderer is beyond the pale. There is always a line that should not be crossed in the name of decency, and putting MH's name in the frame crossed that line by miles.

I never mentioned Myra Hindley!

It was Rose West!

I read an interview that Linda Robson isn't that bad a dancer but she wouldn't do it she was worried that she would be seen as the joke act.

I would suggest the Governess from The Chase or Sarah Millican

That tiresome irritant would probably quit after just one week.
Wouldn't that be perfect for the "We Hate Kevin" campaigners (I'm NOT one of them)?

If its good enough for his missus and Will Young...

I suggest Laila Morse (Eastenders Big Mo) - she's not up to much these days is she??

Or how about Kay Burley? Or that other "KB" Karren Brady?

Not a "possible" duffer. An absolute, utter duffer. Widdy-level dance skill for Kevin's next partner, I say!

It would be a dream scenario for this forum, then.

I remember hoping against hope in Abbey Clancy's year that she'd get Kevin, but sadly we were deprived of that potentially hilarious pairing!

I rather hope Kevin gets a raging duffer and they prove to be vastly popular, barging everyone's favorites out week after week to the final.

Miriam Margolyes.
But the language in the training VTs might not be suitable for family viewing.

That was Kevin's first year - did you really hate him from the first moment you clapped eyes on him?
