I agree Tasi. I think she does ask the questions that we, the fans, want to know. She even asked all that to Matthew today about how they choreograph the professional routine. Something we've been talking about for several days and how they cope with all the egos! Even the bringing Matthew onto the show and Zorro. It just feels like we are being listened to. I am so pleased... maybe we're not getting a response from the BBC themselves but this is as good as..

I agree Peach.

Claudia rocks. And is a babe too.

I wish I looked like her anyway!

Come on luv, you know it makes sense...

Wish shed push for a dvd

We are trying to start a fanclub. There's a thread about it here
http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...d.php?t=298954

Bumping my own thread but only as tonight Claudia made me laugh so much.

When Bill asked her not to mention his foot...she said (roughly), 'How can I not mention it? It is there...you are in slippers? It is like seeing an elephant walk into a room and watching him eat custard and pretending you haven't seen him!'

I love Claudia...that was the most totally random comment I think I have ever heard her say.....it even beat her 'Little otter' comment.

Loved that! But she looked MEGA uncomfortable when Bill tried to Rumba with her...

Claudia, you are such a sweetie. (You are the image of your lovely mother, Eve Pollard, by the way, especially those gorgeous large eyes). Claudia, could you please ask the BEEB to produce a DVD of this FABULOUS show, puleeeeezze??? Surely the "Powers That Be " KNOW it makes absolute sense!! They should produce a wonderful box set of 3 - a DVD for each of the series i.e, Series 1, 2 and now 3 - available next January 2006 - a wonderful New Year's gift for us loyal fans and which would keep us going until Series 4, next Autumn!! I suffered serious withdrawal symptoms last year when Series 2 ended. I'd taped a few clips plus the Final which kept me going until about the Spring (absolutely LOVED the brilliant Jill and Darren collaboration!). I'm now taping all the current ITT shows as they are brilliant and so well presented by Claudia. Keep up the good work but A DVD BOX SET IS A MUST!!!

PS: Claudia, GREAT idea having Paul Anka on the show last night. I bought his new album a few weeks ago ("Rock Swings") and it's brilliant! When listening to it, I've often thought that he should definitely make an appearance on one of the SCD Results shows. His music is so appropriate!

Yay ITT tonight so we can all say hello to Claudia again!
Looking forward to seeing Will and Hanna and finding out what the dances will be for next week. I think that some are doing the waltz and maybe the rumba ?

I do indeed enjoy Claudia quite muchly!

that was fantastic

This week they are doing,

* Darren and Lilia - The Foxtrot
* Patsy and Anton - The Cha Cha Cha
* Colin and Erin - The Viennese Waltz
* James and Camilla - The Waltz
* Bill and Karen - The Waltz
* Zoe and Ian - The Tango

Seems strange there's only one couple doing Latin

Wow gosh. Thanks for the information. Now isn't that interesting? Another mixed week. And they're all doing the Argentine Tango presumably. I'm not sure how I feel about how this will affect the different prospects. I'll be watching the training footage with great interest.

Nearly laughed myself silly when Leslie and Bruno took over the show. Claudia has great comic timing to look straight into the camera JUST at the right moment. She's made for live TV

Loved the show and how well she handled Will and Hannah's interview. She made them feel good about themselves and their time on the show. She loves them too!

Becks

Mondays show is always fab especially the backstage pass!

it was fab today, esp with Bruno and Lesley taking over and Claudia is great

I'm an oldie, but a newbie on digitalspy, and it's a terrific site, much better than the beebs pov board!

Claudia, you are SUPERB on ITT. Your expressive and gorgeous eyes convey such telling comments without you having to utter a word. Oh that Brucie F could say as much with his mince-pies but without fluffing on so much via his cake-hole!

My ONE complaint: I live in the lovely Scottish Borders and on Thursday at 6.30 pm we are barred from ITT in favour of some Gaelic stuff. I'm an ex-Croydonian and don't know or care about non-English languages and it HURTS not to be able to watch Claudia and guests on Thursday! Boo to the beeb!!!

Brilliant ITT last night - I'm taping them ALL this series!! Didn't realise it was such a good show and am kicking myself now because I missed all of the Series 2 ITTs so I must have missed LOADS of Jill and Darren, who were my absolute favourites!!! Keep up the good work, Claudia. One criticism: you could have picked up on the controversary of the overmarked 10 score, given to Zoe and Ian by Bruno and got their views on it - that would have been interesting. Otherwise, it was a fantastically fun-packed, lively show (even tho' Lesley Garratt almost took over!!).

I'm new here too, and I"ve to admit that I joined because Claudia has always been mentioning about the forums, and I had been wondering for quite a while which forums she was referring too. now, I'm grateful that I found the right forum

I hope that Claudia mentions some of the lovely posts made here in this forum to Bill and karen on ITT tonight.

Okjay...been off a few days, and was going to stay away a bit longer..but hypocrite that I am *holds hands up* could not resist the randomness tonight.

And speaking of that..have been itching all week to post Claudias fab comments when talking to James about wanting his '30'.

'You want 30 like other people want Malaysian Avocado's' or similar words she said.

Love your randomness Claudes!

She's an absolute treat to watch &, should there be fourth series of SCD, must be brought back to control the SCD sofa.

Forgot to add that it's great to have a non-controversial, fan type, thread; well, perhaps just a little controversy over the lippy?

Yes, I can't imagine her walking away from it. The team seem to love her, she clearly loves it, and we love watching her. There'd be an outcry is she left. Good thing she got pregnant at the perfect time to be back for us next Autumn

Yes, she timed that perfectly!

More than the cricketers wives do...*mumbles off topic*

Hello, lovely Claudia

Thought you were v. funny on "Never Mind The Buzzcocks"

I started a Thread to get you and Patrick Swayze dancing together on the "SCD Xmas Special", but someone pointed out that you were pregnant, which I didn't realise. Congratulations

So if you don't fancy doing it ... erm, sorry, dancing(!) with Patrick, how about asking him if he would like to get back together with Jennifer Grey to recreate their dancing scene, if she's available to do the show?

Hope you have a sweet and merry Xmas,

Mark X
