I wrote the BBC off on Saturday evenings a long time ago. Even Pointless Celebrities is a facile shadow of the real deal.

I m glued to my seat this evening, drink and nibbles at my side. Lovely to see them all again (Johannes), I hope Caroline Quentin* does well and excited to see Nicola Adams and Maisie Smith who are both very physically fit. I only recognise one of the men - Bill Bailey.

*So pleased Johannes is her partner (I hope he is pleased)

Good show last night. Feels very odd though, and I don't know if the ongoing Covid escalations might make an impact

I enjoyed last night's too. They are a likeable 'lot'. It didn't seem a lot different to me after a while.

Not so much different but if London goes into the rumoured Tier 4, then not sure it can continue. Craig seems in quite a good mood

Another good show and the right couple out, though they were much better than some first outs. The bizarre conflict between the possible extreme lateness of the PM's statement was resolved by the BBC just cutting him of in the middle of his rambling. Seem it suggested that the BBC were asked to delay Strictly but said bollocks.

No argument from me about that!

Jacqui Smith came over very well on ITT I thought.

Yes, agreed. I do think though it might be time for Anton to foxtrot off the show.

Entertaining tonight as ever but a couple of odd music to dance choices. Bill Bailey could win this

I agree with you about Anton, never quite got over his 'Paki' remark. Which may reveal me as unforgiving but it shows his mindset. Doesn't deter from his dancing skill of course.

Bill Bailey is amazing! I felt sorry for Jason Bell dancing a paso to the Star Wars theme and thought he did pretty well, considering. However I have  feeling he'll be out next which is a shame because he has much potential.

Overall an enjoyable show.

Caroline impresses too, she's so lucky to have Johannes as a partner. Before I sleep I'm going to look on DS to see who is out, can't wait until tomorrow. Don't worry I won't tell you.

Not sure how the normal spoilers will work with no audience. Thought the right couple went out. Surprised to an extent thay Nicola was in the bottom two but while she is very likeable they all seem to be - if some not very interesting. I think that Bill combines nice, interesting and dancing best at this stage.

I heard about that on ITT earlier. I'm disappointed for both of them. It t's likely Nicola will also test positive and maybe other people involved in Strictly.

Perhaps Nicola can come back next year.

Anton steps in as judge

Good I think. It seems a more natural progression than when they have pulled in random judges in the past when Bruno wasn't available.

I know Robbie.

That shouldn't be possible, he is very, very good.

So many good performances. I don't remember a series where the standard has been this high before (I know the judges say that every year but this is the first time I've said it!)

I know who is out but won't say. It will not come as a surprise but the other person in the bottom two didn't deserve to be there.

Excellent show.
