Yay! Craig finally went - about time! I didn't mind Alesha's comments because they were deserved, he was rubbish. I was annoyed too that Zoe went and he remained the week before. He was so big-headed though, he really thought he was good. He's in today's paper bleating about his marks. Ali's dance was beautiful. I'm not really sure why they went to Blackpool halfway through the series, why didn't they wait until the final? It would have made it more special.

The Discworld books also seem to appear in Waterstone's "3 for 2" offer fairly regularly (which slightly irks me now I can't take advantage of it as I have them all apart from whichever is the newest hardback of the moment!). I agree that you should start with the first book.

I can't stand them either, I lunge for the mute button when they come on. Oh yes... "I got

Yep, you said it. Another travesty. Why do I put myself through watching this?!! I preferred Ali, I think she is great, but neither her nor Zoe should have been in the dance-off. Weren't the viewers watching Craig, Chris etc? I think poor Ali's foot was really hurting her too - I noticed she did the dance-off in bare feet, bless her.

Don't get me started again on Nathan. Ugh. Looks like what I said at the beginning of the month is coming true. I feel sorry for Leyla, but at the same time she is so idiotic and brings a lot of it on herself. Why on earth did she sleep with him? Good grief. And why exactly did she blame her shoes?! I'm sick of Charity already and wish she would leave again. If she rolls her eyes up to the sky and sighs one more time I think I'm going to throw something at the TV. Someone should tell her that is not "acting".

Kylie, I agree. I find that flashforward really irritating. Plus, although the kid's dad (forgot his name) didn't see Dr B in his flashback, he heard her voice so surely he would recognise her from it? Unless he's dense. I thought Ep 3 (with the Nazi) was a bit dull, but the last ep was good (although I hated the beginning with the bus nastiness set to Bjork). I'm feeling sorry for the babysitter too now - what on earth is going to happen with her to make her "deserve" her fate? Good ending, too.

Do they still have Len's masterclass where he's teaching Claudia to dance? That was always my favourite - hilarious! On to tonight's result - very glad it went the way it did. About time too! My favourite tonight was Ali. I also forgot to say last time that Ola is another of my favourite professionals. Does anyone know how her name is pronounced? Some say it "Ol-la" and some say "Oh-la", and it bugs me (it must bug her too that they can't get her name right).

I bought the complete DVD months ago, but haven't had chance to watch them yet. I think I didn't become aware of it until series 2 was showing on C4, so I probably haven't seen series 1 before.

I feel exactly the same way. Last time, I was avidly watching It Takes Two, but I don't bother now. I don't like her! I agree she has been lumbered with bad dancers, but she comes across as hard as nails and I just don't like her. My favourite pro dancers would be Flavia and Lilia, and Darren and Vincent.

I'm glad some other people agree with me about Anton's jive and Flavia's costumes! And I think I forgot to mention that I like Ali in my last post - I know that there was someone else I liked but I couldn't remember her name!

I'm so pleased that Joe Calzaghe has finally gone! Brilliant! The guy was a useless dancer and had no personality (apart from being an arrogant , who thought that just because he's very good at boxing, then he's automatically going to be very good at dancing. I think he was surprised to find out that he wasn't). I think Ricky (Whittle), Zoe and Laila are among the best dancers. I love Phil Tuffnell too, he gives such a charming performance and I always have a big grin on my face watching him. That whole thing with the "personal comments" annoyed me. I didn't think Craig was being personal, he was just saying after Bruno's remark that they were jumping around like a grasshopper, that they were more skippy than that, ie like a kangaroo. Craig gets told off by Bruce for that, and yet in the next dance Len called Natalie "Hopalong Cassidy"!! Now that's a personal comment, and yet nothing was said! I might be a bit controversial here, but I don't think Anton is that good a dancer himself! Yes, he is excellent at ballroom, but his Latin isn't so good and his jive was terrible. Vincent and Flavia are my favourite couple, and I adored their dance. A tango waltz? Does that even exist or have they made it up themselves? Either way, it was brilliant, I was entranced. Speaking of Flavia, who is choosing her costumes this year? They have all been absolutely hideous - that drab grey dress last week and that awful jive outfit this week.

I agree, it just goes to show that upbringing has a lot to do with how someone turns out. Faye seems quite decent, whereas Nathan's parents are very arrogant and uncaring towards those they see as "below" them, ie people who aren't rich.

If his latest sounds right up your street, get it and don't worry about what else he's written. You don't have to buy those. And a lot of authors change direction.

I agree! I really can't stand him - he's had everything handed to him on a plate by his rich parents, and yet he looks down on everyone else and think's he's so superior. I can't stand the way he constantly smirks. Ugh. It really made my day when Cain put the "squeeze" on him in the toilets!

I think that slimeball Nathan is definitely going to blackmail Layla into going out with him (and possibly a bit further, yuk). There's no way he's going to pass up a golden opportunity like this, because he fancies her and she doesn't want to know. Now she's in his power, and I think he'll use that. Eww.

I didn't like Bag of Bones at all, it's one of my least favourite Kings. I found it so bad that I can't remember anything about it, except possibly something to do with fridge magnets, and I've never felt the urge to re-read it.

I vaguely remember my brothers had quite a lot of coloured vinyl, but I can't remember who the groups were. One of them could have been The Police, I think.

Ah, thanks Gyre! It's been that long since Charity's been in it that I can't remember who she had relationships with (or perhaps it's easier to say who she didn't have relationships with!). No doubt her and Cain will end up back together.
