Frequently the camera work is so dodgy it is impossible to look at the footwork at home even if you know what to look for. In fact, we got a good view of Cherie's less than lovely footwork in the first half of her waltz tonight. But then it's totally subjective. I thought the waltz was really dull whereas for me, Lisa sparkled as well as doing a decent job technically. And I just can't love Tom however well he dances (also Camilla - not elegant to open your mouth like a goldfish when wearing an orange dress

)
