I was bored and got to thinking about what I missed most about SCD. I came up with:

The drama
Counting down to saturday nights
Brendan (obviously)
In fact all of the professionals!
The outfits
Getting annoyed at the judges!
Mark Ramprakash's chest!
The nerves/drinking that came with the results show!

Anyone else?

Mark Ramprakash obviously!

The sick feeling on a saturday night and the squealing excitement when the music start and ogling Claudia's shoes on a nightly basis!

Mark Ramprakash (obviously)
The delightfully insane Claudia and her shoes
In fact, just everything, even the bits that annoyed me (insane judges, Brucie, tittarubba), Dancing on Ice just doesn't cut it for me

Is it time for SCD5 yet

Mark Ramprakash doing absolutely anything
The fact we got ITT as a bonus
The tension before the results are announced-elation/despair afterwards
Squealing /shouting at the TV
Costumes,music, and the feeling of FUN!

Actually, thought of another one:

Watching my mother dance around the room when the SCD tune starts...

I miss everything about it. Talking to friends about it, gathering in someone's house on a Saturday night to watch it and shout at the tv, the glamour, the hunky men, the gorgeous dresses (apart from Tess's) and so on and so on. And even, dare I say it, the dancing

Roll on October. Have barely bothered with Dancing on Ice as it's just not the same!

I was a bit sad when it finished, but look at it this way. If it didn't finish we wouldn't have anything to look forward to would we?
This week is half term, another few weeks and it will be Easter and when the kids go back after Easter, the term is known as the summer term. Get the school summer holidays over, and the Christmas adverts start and before you know it, SCD is back on the telly!
When you are racing through your 50's as quickly as I am, the time rushes past too quickly I can tell you!

In addition to everything about Mark Ramprakash, I really miss all the clips of the training. They always seemed to have a lot of fun rehearsing (not just Mark and Karen, I mean everybody). ITT helped to build up the tension for the big night on Sat and the fact that it's live, with a live band just makes it one of the best things on the telly. I miss Claudia too.

Getting annoyed if I'm stuck in meeting at work and it looks like I'm not going to make it home for 6:30.

Finding out who is dancing what and to what music

Praying that 3rd on the leaderboard will be enough to get them through

The band

Wondering which pointless celeb will be on the sofa, and whether they will have actually watched the show

Saying "Why are the first again? So and so haven't gone first yet..."

"9???? That was never a 9!!!"

And of course Louisa

All fair and reasonable points, however I want SCD on every Saturday, Claudia on every night during the week and I'm going to sit here and hold my breath until the Beeb arranges it

the four of us sitting down to watch something together

seeing my 10 year old trying to tango in the kitchen when he thinks I'm not looking

hearing my 14 year old ring my Mum (without being asked!) to ask her what she thought of that nights show

thursday nights - younger son arriving home from football - 1st question:did you tape It Takes Two?

Shouting at Craig while I top up my glass of red "I'll vote for who I like actually - sorry if you don't approve!!"

I do miss Craig

the pro dances

Brendan dancing

last but most definitely not least ..... Claudia

I dont miss getting the phone bill in January, and Mr F having apoplexy when he discovers how much money I've spent voting

despite the fact I do loads of votes on my mobile

That lovely feeling during Saturday that something really good is going to happen.

Setting all the recording machinery I possess to make sure I record ITT if I get held up getting home.

Dreamy thoughts on the way to and from work( still have them but they're repeats!)

All the anticipation throughout the week about the dances/dresses/music etc

Seeing lovely Matthew

The pro dances

Watching the repeats throughout the week of my favourite bits.

Missing:
The excitement from waking up on a Saturday morning until the music starts for the show...
The costumes each week
The training videos of each couple
Hopes of catching a glimpse of Brendan during ITT every night
The rushing home for ITT even thought the video was set and it usually worked...

Not missing:

The long wait between main show and results show
The phone bill
The fear of getting a speeding ticket rushing home for ITT
The worry Brendan wouldn't get through to next week's show
People phoning during the show

Grateful for:

This Forum still going strong even though SCD and ITT not on!
Being able to go out on a Saturday night without resenting the fact that I'm expected to go out by non SCD addicts!
Other friends who were prepared to text me results of show when I had to go out!
