The Grinch that stole dancing...

OK, he's right. So here are some more thoughts on That Dancing Show inspired by Mr Reid.

This sort of programming isn't keeping us stupid, it's just revealing how many of us are really stupid anyway.

How come not one of these journalists has blagged Jason Gunn, nor even asked why anyone is giving him work anyhow? Was Michael Barrymore unavailable? We could have asked Barrymore his thoughts on the Barmy Army.

I could do without the weekly "Norm is the sexiest hooker I've ever seen" gags. I just don't believe it. And no-one had the guts to say it about Georgina Beyer...

Is it really important enough that people write poison pen letters & make abusive phone calls to Tim Shadbolt's office? Wonder how many of them voted for him. Morons.

What can we expect from series 2 (it's inevitable)? Many more unlikely sportspeople of different codes. I'm already on tenterhooks to see how Hamish Carter & Sarah Ullmer do. Or those twins, that'd be a hoot, they'd have to find identical twin dance partners for them surely? Or that guy who seems to be our only racing car driver - the one on every 2nd TV advertisement. (Sorry, having a blank on the names at present - such is the power of advertising I can't even recall what he's touting).

Or Mark Ellis... he'll already have his agent plugging for it, I bet. Expect to see Ben Lummis dancing. Rodney Hide may be at a loose end too, and might be next year's Norm.

Damn, I had much more to say but I have to go interview Dancing with the Stars contestants to find out what they think of the Barmy Army.
