I'd love to give it a go but it would be very embarassing for the audience (and me) when my husband throws a bucket of cold water over me after watching Mark's dancing ... Maryjay : always hot ...

xxxxxxx

I got a phone call from ITT earlier this evening - nearly fell off of the chair 
!
Lisa asked for my opinions on Saturday's show and if I'd still be happy to have the panel at mine. Said yes, then remembered hubby - but that's OK, he'll vamoosh if necessary.
Had to email my picture to Lisa at the Beeb (DOUBLE -probably won't get picked now) and will now have to wait to hear from her further.
Better get the feather duster out just in case, now where did I put it last? (oh you probably don't want to know)
Will update you if/when I hear more. WHAT HAVE I DONE???

I got a phone call too... To begin with I couldn't hear her properly (stupid phone!) and was quite sharp with her, thinking it was someone from a call centre
I think I used the words 'amazing' and 'fantastic' in every sentence

What are we like - that's us three out then! 
I don't know how well my comments about Saturday went down, apparently I had a "different way of looking at things" (which was probably Lisa's polite way of saying that I've completely lost the plot
.
Will update once I hear anything.

i'm sure an having a different way of looking at things is good for an alternative panel...adds interest!
I was looking forward to watching It Takes Two at half six this evening when the phone rang while I was setting up my video tape. I was half-expecting a call from someone I know when suddenly a female voice was telling me that she was calling from the BBC It Takes Two programme.
The first time I saw this thread was on Saturday. I don't claim to be a Strictly buff in terms of knowing statistics or remembering dress colours, so I ruled myself out of the quiz. I was very much tickled though by the thought of showing up on the people's verdict. There are a few male forumites around here, but how many would really want to put themselves forward on national TV in the name of Strictly? Still, amused by the thought, I put down my name and kind of forgot about it, believe it or not.
There was definitely something surreal about watching Claudia greet her audience on the TV screen and discussing the show with someone at the same time on the phone. But I thought it was great to chat to someone who was actually from the show. I shall call the BBC staff member Lady L as I don't know whether she wishes to be mentioned on here. Lady L proceeded to ask me about whether I was a fan of Strictly. I said that I was a fan and that it inspired me to learn how to dance ballroom. From there I mentioned the fact that I'd gone to watch the professionals perform in demonstrations, as well as having social dance classes with Karen Hardy. It was also pertinent to pass on the fact that my dance teacher appeared on the People's Verdict last year as well.
She asked me whether I have any favourites. For the two people who are not already aware of my allegiance, I am very much a Mark and, especially, a Karen fan. Those who think I'm jumping on the bandwagon can look back to this time last year on this forum when I was extolling the virtues of Ms Hardy's partnership with Bill Turnbull. To be honest I babble a bit when I talk. Writing is easier for me because I can sanitise my thoughts so they appear more coherent on the page.
Lady L then asked me if I had any comments or criticisms about last week's performances. I joked that I'm a bit like Len Goodman. I prefer to see the positive aspects in the performances. Although people might not agree with me, I also happened to think that Emma and Darren's Paso was really fiery and dramatic. Matt's Quickstep was great as well. These were the performances that I picked out off the top of my head. Admittedly, Mark was criticised by the judges for his Foxtrot. Personally, I couldn't see what exactly was wrong with it - that's down to my ignorance rather than bias. However, I said that if the judges have a dancing background then to an extent they should know what they're talking about.
Maybe I've divulged too much information and have put my place in jeopardy! As far as I know, my appearance is not guaranteed. I might hear from them in a couple of days. In fact, after having written all of this, don't be surprised if I end up floating face down in a river of custard somewhere ...
Suddenly, Lady L appears. She pulls a lever and a hole opens up below Estilolibre's feet. He disappears flailing into the abyss, screaming "Vote Mark and Karennnnnnnnnnn ..!"

Course not, if you want to send it in, send it. They're probably canvassing people still to get a good "mix" of people together, so go for it - and good luck

So, are we supposed to be able to sleep between now and when we hear whether we've been chosen or not?
Won't we look lovely with red eyes, hair sticking out all over the place and yawning our heads off.

I said I'd be just as happy to travel 'anywhere' - not that I'm desperate or anything
