Oooooh.....It looks like a Christmas Tree...
For me series 5 was clearly the best, the only blot on the whole thing being how the judges copped out and pretended that Kenny Logan improved. Alesha, Kelly and Matt were all great, Gethin wasn't as good, but was a reasonably high standard and was pretty, and I loved how Letitia got so far. Seeing the smirk wiped off James Jordan's face was hysterical, and the whole cast was just really likable, Dom "Busy Hands" Littlewood aside. Stephanie Beacham packed more personality into one week than 90% of this year's celebs managed in their entire run.
Series 2 probably next just because Jill and Denise were amazing, and everyone else was fun to watch. It had good dancing, but people didn't take it all so bloody seriously.
Then Series 3 because Colin & Zoe were as amazing as Jill & Denise, but the whole thing was too blokey, and there was a really strong and unpleasant drive towards having a male win, resulting in one of the least deserving winners in Strictly history.
Then Series 4 was good for the first half but fell apart as Louisa wore herself out, the overmarking of Emma Bunton reached a level of ludicrousness not seen again until Lisa Snowdon, and Mark and Matt turned out the most boring final of all time.
Series 6 could have been better, but suffered from constant "scandals" mostly drummed up by the public who had their panties firmly wedged up their backsides for the entire run, and the judges choices and public choices being even farther apart than they'd been before.
The only reason to watch Series 1 was to see Chris Parker lose. The only halfway decent dancer was eliminated halfway through, and the whole thing was basically a mess.
