ooh good one!

1. Lesley and Anton - they were robbed by Parkergate!
2. Denise and Ian - poetry in motion
3. Colin & Erin - that guy could MOVE!!!
4. Aled & Lilia - his progress was just awesome to watch
5. James and Camilla - that Waltz sent shivers up my spine.....

1 Darren G. & Lilia - his transformation still amazes me
2 Mark & Karen - they could be number one if they keep up the good work
3 James & Camilla - loved their chemistry, their tango and their waltz
4 Zoë & Ian - one of the best matches ever on the show
5 Julian & Erin - sheer entertainment

Jill and Darren
Denise and Ian
Lilia and Darren
Lilia and Aled (they woz robbed guv and it still 'urts)
Colin and Erin

(I'm sorry but I can't include Natasha and Brendon - I know all about the chemistry, but I just felt very odd with them having that with Camilla watching. It just didn't sit easy with me).

1. Jill and Darren
2. Aled and Lilia.
3. Natasha and Brendan.
4. Zoe and Ian.
5. Colin and Erin.

What a lovely thread. Mine would be (in no order)

Aled and Lilia
Colin and Erin
Bill and Karen
Denise and Ian
Lesley and Anton

I feel surprised, actually, that I haven't included anyone from this series (yet). I like Carol and Matt's partnership very much indeed.... but for dancing, I think I prefer these....

PS: I would squeeze Jill and Darren in at sixth if I could!

I don't think I can put them in order either, but I'll go for:

Aled and Lilia (I will never get over it, d'you hear? Never...)
Darren and Lilia
Lesley and Anton
Mark and Karen
Jill and Darren

Jill and Darren
Denise and Ian
Aled and Lilia
James and Camilla
Colin and Erin

I'm basing mine only on series 2 and 3 as I didn't watch series 1 and it's too early in series 4 to judge.


On dancing skill alone:

Jill and Darren
Colin and Erin
Denise and Ian
Zoe and Ian
Darren and Lilia

On dancing skill and wow factor, likeability, chemistry etc. combined:

Jill and Darren
James and Camilla
Colin and Erin
Denise and Ian
Darren and Lilia

1. Denise and Ian
2. Jill and Darren
3. Louisa and Vincent
4. Darren and Lilia
5. Mark and Karen

1. Mark & Karen
2. Jill & Darren
3. Zoe & Ian
4. Colin & Erin
5. Natasha & Brendan

1 Jill and Darren
2 Zoe and Ian
3 Aled and Lillia
4 Darren and Lillia
5 Natasha and Brendon

Some good ones this year but havent included the untill the serris finshe when Mark and Katen could go top

1. Natasha and Brendan
2. Lesley and Anton
3. Colin and Erin
4. Patsy and Anton
5. Will and Hanna (I know, I'm the only one on the planet that still mourns their departure, but dude, I wept!)

No room for Brendan and Claire or Jill and Darren, although I'd have liked to pick them too... Ooh, and Spoony and Ola, and Matt and Carol *rambles on for quite some time*

Based on the first 3 series:
1. Jill and Darren (their jive gave me goosebumps on ITT tonight)
2. Colin and Erin
3. Lesley and Anton
4. Natasha and Brendan
5. Aled and Lilia

My 5 are......

1. Colin and Erin
2. Mark and Karen
3. Lesley and Anton
4. Natasha and Brendan
5. Jill and Darren

Darren/Jill
Brendan/Natasha
Ian/Zoe
Colin/Erin
Matthew/Carol

Anton and Lesley
Aled and Lilia
Erin and Colin
Jill and Darren
Zoe and Ian

1. Aled and Lilia
2. Jill and Darren
3. Denise and Ian
4. Lesley and Anton
5. Colin and Erin

Mark and Karen - exceptional!
Jill and Darren - great dancer
Ian and Zoe - such a good pairing
Natasha and Brendan
Aled and Lilia

Bill and Karen
Mark and Karen
Jill and Darren
Darren and Lilia
Aled and Lilia

1. Natasha & Brendan
2. Colin & Erin
3. Lesley & Anton
4. Carol & Matthew
5. Aled & Lilia

..... note no actresses !

For me, all of these couples epitomise the spirit of the programme: i.e. learning a new skill, enjoying the moment, exuding charisma as a partnership, and becoming truly adept at something way out of their comfort zone.

1. Mark and Karen. He has the potential to be the best ever male celebrity.
2. Bill and Karen. For embodying the spirit and fun of the programme.
3. Jill and Darren. From what I can remember...gold standard.
4. Darren and Lilia. For showmanship and the best journey.
5. James and Camilla. The Tango alone.....
