New thread

Towards the end of the last thread we were discussing the fever dream that will be the Centenary special, and the themes that have been chosen

That's what I mean - it's so funny but the lyrics are very much about shagging. Are Jayde and Karen just going to be doing comedy pretend sex?

And - genuine question - is there going to be a hostess trolley and some spanking with a Woman’s Weekly? Strictly loves a literal interpretation, and I can’t see what other ‘story’ they can force onto this. The lyrics are so specific.

 

[Boring Monday]

I just can’t understand why so many of the themes and tunes are re-do’s and to say it’s celebrating 100 years it’s very back loaded.

Ok, I'm going to need some reassurance that Nikita is just going to dress up as an Apprentice candidate and not Alan Sugar

Looking forward to seeing what Vicky Gill can do with a flameproof nightie and a balaclava.
(That sounds strangely sinister)

I don't get it either. They had such a deep well to choose from and some of the choices are really uninspired, others are batshit.

Also, I get that Dr Who is significant at the moment but why not pick another composition from the show (there are lots) and a different dance so it doesn't seem so samey.

Strange rumours about AS being the one named as the BBC personality. Surely not

Now imagining Janette slightly woodenly but exuberantly feigning an in-depth knowledge of Victoria Wood and Woman's Weekly to Vicky G on ITT

It is a bit naughty alright Oh hope they use some of the many props mentioned! I think Katya is the pro who would do this song justice creatively but it will be interesting to see what Karen comes up with! They will probably have choreographers helping with this number.. hope we get a glimpse on ITT later in the week, Monday too soon for a progress update! C’mon hostess trolleys and womans weekly

Challenge! what iconic themes would you go for?
Don't ask me for my answers I've only thought of this question - will think about whilst roasting the spuds!

The Archers and Desert Island Discs would definitely make the start sheet.

Will Charleston finally be the dance where they get real with Jayde?

I turned on BBC Radio 3 this morning (because I am very old and like classical in the morning) and they were playing a rather beautiful and deeply weird mix of the synth/electronic/ classical music composed for Doctor Who in the 1960s and 70s, some of which had never been played separate to the episodes before.

It was completely bonkers and I loved them for it, I wish Strictly could have been as adventurous as BBC Radio 3!

Benny Hill - charleston!

Royle Family ... at least its an actual song. No idea what dance would go with it. I think I will watch half of next week's show from behind a cushion!

 

[Fillyjonk]

Danse Macabre aka Jonathan Creek - would make a fabulous VW.

Sshhhh....dont give them ideas!!

Either
A Ski Sunday quickstep dressed in a garish 80’s/90’s all in one ski suit

Or

A fawlty towers waltz
