'm getting old as just looked at the celeb pics arriving and I know about 40% of them. Mind you getting Dame Shirl is a bit of a coup. Where are said pictures?

Yes compared to last week the scoring seemed a little more realistic. I know it has been said before but Leyton has such an advantage over everyone else and the I'm not basic line did nothing to endear him to an audience despite his performance.

The Orchestra sounded fabulous on that clip. Not too long until I get to see it in mid October.

I don't think there has ever been a show 1 where 7 of the couples scored 28 or above. The standard did seem higher than ususal.

As long as the orchestra isn't stripped back, I believe there are 17, then I will be happy whatever strange things are happening in stage. Looking forward to your view on the show as it's one of my favourites and I am seeing it in Mid October. Seen it many times with Elaine, Petula, Faith and Glenn.

Kylie just has that sort of magic, you can't put your finger on it really. She is a pop icon and will always have success as long as she continues recording and even beyond with her huge back catalogue.

Not specifically Abba but lots of happy Abba fans today after listening to Agnetha's new single from the upcoming A+ album. An updated version of the original A released 10 years ago with reimagined versions of the original songs with the new single.She was interviewed on Radio 2 this morning.

I have been away so missed this awful news. So sad and remember seeing Chris in Miss Saigon. Such a tragic loss. R.I.P.

Ellie Leach from Corrie and Paralympic athlete Jody Cundy the next 2. Following a similar pattern to previous years. At least I have heard of at least half of them!

Matt Rawle would make a great Arnaud du Thil if this got revived... Yes remember Matt playing Martin Guerre in the original with Iain Glen as Arnaud. I saw it many times in it's various guises and loved it.

There are some really valid points about the show and others in general. Entertainment in general has altered so much over recent years both live and tv/ streaming. People's tastes and attention spans seems to have changed. This combined with post covid changes to behaviour/ cost of living / train strikes etc has put pressure on even what would have appeared before the most reliable of shows.

For me, this was a great way to spend and afternoon. I really enjoyed it when I went a while back. The 2 leads both came out then and were generous in signing and photos even though they had to go back for a meeting. A lovely theatre too.
