I'll bring home Andrew Castle for my mum. She likes his type: tall, handsome and with a good head of hair. For my dad I'll probably take Dave Arch (he's a pro, isn't he
?). He used to be in bands like Dave's and my dad likes to talk about music A LOT. While they entertain and distract my parents I would secretly show Austin my old bedroom .

Meet the parents - Ian or Darren
Naughty secret - Darren or James (but only if he was banned from talking! I was going to say only if his mouth was taped shut but............. )

So Christa's parents are distressed by much of the British population .How sad
It is said " You can teach an Oxbridge man , but you can't teach him much " , certainly not courtesy and grace this case . I know many Oxbridge grads , one or two totally unteachable ,. but most have their feet on the ground and not in the spires . For the academic snob Claudia has a History of Art Degree form Cambridge , Cherie went to Homerton College Cambridge ( teacher training college but it is Oxbridge ) There was a very very insightful article about John in the press this weekend written by a Cambridge friend . He was in the Footlights with Michael Palin and write a lot of sketches etc . Very apposite given his departure this week |

Couldn't you take John Sargeant?
Actually I have no idea whether he went to Oxbridge or not . Maybe someone like Andrew Castle did and we just don't know about it.Quote:
Yup, John graduated from Magdalen College, Oxford, so there's chance yet for Christa to bring home a suitable Oxbridge Strictly personality.
![]() IIRC, Andrew Castle went to an American uni. ![]() ![]() Witty & amusing as John is - it's still Matthew all the way. |

- and what about as a partner for you in SCD?
As a shameless attempt to bring us back to page 1! - what about the professional you would like to be your partner in SCD?
Until this series, I would have chosen Erin or Camilla. They seem to work you hard but have fun along the way. But now it has to be Kristina. Clever choreography, patience and she would be so grateful with the improvement over wotshisname she danced with this series... |

As a partner for SCD, James
Although I'd be taller than him in heels so Ian otherwise because he's lovely and very patient (which he'd need to be with me!!)

To meet the parents - Anton - he'd probably charm them and wouldn't be easily scared......
![]() Guilty secret - Matthew Cutler with Ian and James in reserve..... (or maybe all three as a very very guilty secret....) For my SCD professional - would have to be Matthew as a first choice, but actually I'd be privileged to dance with any of them! |

![]() Perhaps, considering the highlighted part, Brendan might be a better bet.
