it's certainly possible libby... I suspect foul play indeed.

Peach I was seriously all over the place emotionally this week (and it's week one! My poor patients come Christmas-time)... no wonder we let Nic-Nic get away

And... *throws arms around allybee* Absolutely spiffing to see you poppet

You too, old chum! *HUGS*

*Pouts* And I was so looking forward to calling them Nic n' Nic...guess he didn't have any of the luck of the previous newsreaders, huh?

Next week, next week we shall succeed. For sure this time...

I thnk there is a lot of potential this year. It's going to be very competitive much earlier than before. I think there will be lots of tears because we think they should all stay, forever, and be on every single week with compulsory ITT every weeknight.

yes - I see the next 3 months of obsession stretching ahead of me.

I must get that internet connection and new laptop. Finally a good reason

nooooooo i arrived too late, some one drugged me with a virus!!! Its official i have a cold! Watch urselves, some one obviously found out about our devilish plans that would surely work and is striking us down with illness to try and thwart us.
Stand Firm everyone! they will not stop us!

.... now i'm going to crawl back to bed where i was before i remembered i hadn't been on here (it was due to illness riddled brain i promise!) it had nothing to do with my poor memory

Let me minister to you sweet pipie. I have many medical amazements in the ambulance... magical things like honey and lemon and chicken soup...

You must be a very good doctor, Happyfeet, for you know the very best drugs known to man. I never take anything other than honey and lemon - real honey and real lemon - for a cold. Well, maybe the odd rub down with Vick's vapour rub, but that's about it.

Not just a hatstand my friend.

Where's that prescription pad? I think we need to find an antidote to the the drugged custard... Tiny didn't even bat a jealous eyelid when Brendan just brushed past me...

Why on earth did you let him past?

Good question. I'm still ignoring him until he apologies for his indiscretions in Rio last year.

The Lady Boz arrives with designer peg on button nose.

Stand down for five minutes, little chicks, as its time for Sunday Poo gathering time or SPOG. Much needed for the compost heap and the manufacturing of ele-thane.

Turn away for a moment, Tiny is leaving a deposit, you know how embarrassed he get when anyones watching.

I agree with the obvious couple of exceptions all the male celebs showed either great talent for dancing or the potential for great things. When you consider how clumsy Darren looked for quite a few weeks last year, there are two or possibly only one who could not exceed anything we have seen before.

Well ladies, I have to say I'm disappointed. We're obviously all a little rusty after a year off. Think we need to start up a boot camp to get people fighting fit again.
*Goes off to lab to work on drugged-custard antidotes*

I'd agree there's probably one male who won't get much futher coughJimmyTarbuckcough, although I wait agog to see Peter do Latin

*Goes of in hunt of custard, sequins and random otters*

Sorry Peter doing Latin breaks some health and safety rules....... probably...

I'm relieved to find out that I'm not the only one on here who thinks that.

And forget this business about stopping at Christmas. If Holby City can be on all year so can SCD. In fact, why should we have to watch football for most of the year and something nice like SCD for only a quarter of it?

Well because SCD might become a little boring if its on all through the year...

Plus I love its time slot, it comes on at the end of the F1 season (the F1 season taking up the rest of my year) so I don't end up in trouble by not watching the F1 and doing all the stuff I need to do with that....

After being so impressed with everyone so far, we have to get our act together this week so that nobody can leave. Am going to bring a flask of double espresso for Tiny just in case. Humphrey did his best to stuff the corridor last week but he didn't have enough sawdust. Could everyone bring some with them, please.

What's the plan, this time? Maybe we should try to sabotage the phone lines cos if they can't get a public vote, nobody can leave. In fact, that might be a better use of Humphrey. Am off to investigate safety equipment for hamsters chewing through telephone cables...........

The otter!!!! That little sneak - whatever happened to him? Perhaps he's crossed over to the other side and drugged us last week.

We must redouble our efforts!

Hunt out the otter!

I don't think I should be allowed to watch any more Results shows... I'm way too emotional.


NOBODY SHOULD LEAVE!

I was hiding my face before the results were announced... I wanted Brendan & Claire to stay.. they needed another chance.. but when Jan burst into tears... I was in floods. Dance touches people... nobody should leave.

It's going to get harder and harder the next few weeks, we're running out of people that I don't mind (too much... ) leaving.

The next time it's a shock exit (if we get one) it's going to be hideous.

So next week, instead of getting knocked out, the couple with the least votes could stay and dance the following week. The judges could still give that couple CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, but no votes - and no 'phone votes would be allowed either, because they're already 'out'.
The same would apply to the remaining couples every week thereafter, till we get a winner.
That way, no-one goes, they still get to carry on learning and dancing, we end up with a winning couple and the nation's tissue supplies are saved.

I had to read that about 3 times before it made sense, lol.

I think that would be great, but I don't think the beeb would get away from its knockout policy, and I don't think they'd be able to fit all the dances in.

It would be cool though.
