LMAO - you have just caused me to squirt Ribena (I am not four years old really) from my mouth all over my keyboard.

Thank you so much spacecadet1!

Brilliant - much appreciated!

LMAO!! So wrong SalsaF, but I love it!

I think he's off to Australia very soon with Darren Gough ( I read somewhere) so that should bring some colour back!

And didn't Bill say that tomorrow all 4 judges are on?

I agree. I still loved it. But I can see why people might be a tad disappointed. It was very short. And I thought Mark seemed abit flat rather than Karen - he just looked so tired and slightly distant from the banter of Bill and Karen. Would personally have liked more interaction between Karen and Mark.

But still was lovely seeing them all. Felt sad that that might be the last time we see them together

You guys just have to make way to Karens next ball cos I am sooo sure he will be there Everyone seems to be asking her if she will invite him

Just the Two of Us judges not SCD I think....

Seems like a plan little miss

there isnt a date yet but there should be a summer one Well thats the plan anyway

Yeah, the judges from 'just the two of us'.

Hee! You're welcome!

How sweet was Mark (not) talking about the Ashes? Charming! He's soo charming he's deadly. But I don't think the interview was conducted terribly well. I miss Claudia!

No it wasn't, I wanted Susannah on the sofa with Bill, she's a rampant...

Keep e-mailing the BBC everyone and you never know what we might get ...

Definate - her body language towards Mark was brilliant - still remember her fingers, seemingly involentarily, walking towards Ramps along the back of the sofa

Have watched interview several times now and would agree that both Mark & Karen did seem to be tired/ suffering from colds . It was still lovely to witness the way that Mark & Karen both look at each other when the other is talking. Very sweet

Bill: We'll talk to Mark and Karen in just a moment...
Clip of their showdance lift
Their immediate reaction after watching the clip
Bill jokes the last lift was a bit sloppy...
Then Bill said he was there that night and he was just blown away by that 'last move'
Mark: We were very worried about the (showdance) routine...
Mark:... because the lifts involved pushed us to the maximum...
Mark: We've both not done much lift work before, so...
Mark (looking at Karen): ...it's both a real challenge for us isn't it?
Bill asks: Where have you been?
Bill: ... I was here Christmas Day waiting for you to come in...
Karen: I think we're at home recovering, actually...
Karen: It was such an empty void for us afterwards...
Karen: ... the support (from the public) was incredible... then it was all over, like it's a dream coming to an end!
Karen: But it was the most amazing experience for me... and I hope Mark enjoyed the ride...
Karen: ...to get from hell and back, actually!
When asked if it was that bad, Mark (raised voice): Erm (looking nervously at Karen)...
Karen shows her fists
Mark: She's sitting right next to me!
Mark: The first half of the competition I thought was great fun...
Mark: ... and as you add on another routine it's become a bit more pressurised...
Mark: It became like an endurance test, we're like training every day for 35 days in a row...
Mark's reaction when Bill suggested he must be sick at the sight of her now
Mark (sheepishly): Yeah, I am quite happy for a rest now; Bill goes: Ooooooo...!
Karen (mock horror): Listen! You two, I am going to give both of you a slap!
When asked if the finalists being sportsmen gave them an edge
Karen mentioned they were willing to put in the hours, and even complimented Bill for clocking the hours as well. Bill said he NEEDED those hours being not as talented as Mark to start with...

Karen: Blanche (who?) has been there supporting us...
Karen: It's been great, I am going to start missing the whole experience
Mark: When you said yes to the show you were never quite sure what you let yourself in for
Mark talking about the Cuban heels
Mark: It's all a bit 'razzmatazz'...
Mark: I was petrified, the first night was horrendous...
Mark: I would like to say it got easier, but it didn't...
Bill to Karen: How long does it take you to get your emotions under control?
Karen: I desperately wanted to win, and desperately wanted to show how good (Mark) can be...
Karen: Once the show's over I don't dance (professionally) anymore, and I had the most amazing journey with (Mark)
When ask about cricket training, Mark: Yeah, (I am going back training) very shortly
Mark: Are you going to mention cricket, eh?
Mark: We are NOT going to talk about Ashes, are we?
Bill: We won't go there, Mark: Please, it's a very nice morning up till now!
Bill to Karen: I am so proud to be associated with you in some small way, Karen: so proud to sit here with my boys (then holds her hands out both ways to Mark and Bill)
Bill thanking them and congratulating them for the last time

That's all! Hope you like it!

Yipeee! *eyes screencaps hungrily* Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you Thank you Thank you

Blanche is the older lady Karen brought in last time to help Bill, she became his dance Mother-in-Law, I think she featured in the background material VT on Karen shown on the last ITT

She's not his real mother in law?! I don't why I thought she was LMAO!!

I have corrected some dodgy links, I think now it's almost perfect... Enjoy the corrected screencap presentation!

Oh no! I don't think I'll bother to watch then

Thank you so much
lurvee u!

I thought the interview a bit flat too. Perhaps if we had seen them directly after the show it would have been incredible. They were both over the moon to have won and we saw only a short clip of that as the SCD programme ended!! Why don't they extend the Final show another twenty minutes so we can have interviews with the winners. Karen obviously had a bad cold but still looked wonderful and why she is not still dancing professionally I really do not know!! She mentioned after SCD she no longer dances so that last dance was even more important for her. What does she do then? Teach, has she a school of her own? Does anyone know out there? What is this about her ball? Don't understand must have missed some postings along the way.
