Did you expect them to be..... after all, isn't this year's CiN really just the Emma Bunton show

They should have let them dance for the whole song. It wouldn't have detracted any attention from Emma's performance but made their effort of going there more worthwhile. As it was it just seemed a bit random and an attempt to fit them in somewhere but not for too long as the singer must remain the main focal point.

well i bet that didn't take them long to learn

I'm sure I heard Claire make a comment about not being on for long....

I suppose we have to be grateful that they at least came back on at the end of the song

can't wait for avenue q, only seen clips off utube

It's 10:27pm, have I missed the Avenue Q clip.

Went to see it recently in London. Good deals on last minute. It was absolutely fantastic and got a standing ovation - well deserved.

Naughty maybe, but I posted clips from youtube of "I'm a little bit racist" on the thread about racism. Hope nobody was offended but I think it says better that I, everything I wanted to say.

no, think its on later along with guys and dolls and other musicals

All the musicals still to come Well.. except Sound of Music - do you think that clip was pre-recorded?

Wicked to come I just saw it in New York - it's fabulous!

She did yeh!

And I love Brendan's "I've got alot of saucy things to say...08457 33 22 33"

SCD shouldn't have bothered!

A globe-trotting peach

I don't know why Mark, Matt, Peter and Carol were not on.

Perhaps they were on, but we all blinked.

What happened to the CIN video, featuring all the SCD dancers, that we saw being made on ITT a few weeks ago?

Is that going to be shown somwhere else (maybe at Christmas).

Anton was interviewed briefly at the start of CIN, outside in the rain, and said something like "Look out for me in a balaclava", and then added "But maybe they won't use it".

Didn't see the performance of Downtown on CIN, but here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6kMuUy8jkA Emma mentions "my dancers"...did she mean the other strictly dancers?

Was it worth it?! I don't know why they bothered. It must have taken them all of five minutes to practise that walk-on.

It sounds like they were going to do more from SCD behind Emma but somehow cut it to literally a few seconds

Matt wasn't on because Lilia was off competing in Blackpool last night, and I guess Peter and Carol weren't in London at a good time for rehearsals this week. As for Mark, I have no clue!

Mark switched on the xmas lights in Wembley last night - it was earlier in the evening, but that's what he was up to!

I quite agree, how very disapointing it was,why did the dancers wait until Emma had almost finished the song before they came on? I think it would have been much better if they had shown the video and then at least we would have seen all the dancers and then Emma and co come on the show afterwards to speak to Terry etc: because why make the dancers give up their precious time for the video and not let anyone see it.

It didn't make much sense with the random short appearance - they could have at least danced from their entrance to the end of the song or why not show the video in the background. I wonder whose idea it was not to let them dance for the whole song and what the reason was.

Hmm. Well that was worth the wait.

It looked so silly. Once they had entered the stage I thought they would have at least danced the song out. I'm surprised it was even worth putting together a 30-second routine for this.
