It's going to be odd seeing Ed Balls dance after seeing him in his former day job.

I've heard the producers do spend a lot of time trying to get the pairings right. There was the Steve Backshall year when he accused Ola of bullying.

That's unlikely to happen - there would be an uproar.

Claudia - The scores are in!

Intersperse with over edited 'stories' abIut training.

Most are stage school lovelies. And already dancers now. The judges give erratic scores as usual and the comedy characters will,stay til,half way then get sent off by the BBC heads as the pre picked winners sail,through.

It's all hype. It's all,pre decided. And the public love it. So churn out the same dross this year agn.

Equally we all have the freedom to express an opinion. Its true it's a successful,global formula,and makes the BBC millions.

Len is tired and past his prime with his inappropriate comments. Bruno votes same score as Len and starts all sentences with "I am telling you". And ... im sorry. It's so bad now. It's not a competition any more. They're accomplished dancers which never used to be the case.

It's for the proletariat. Dumbed down every year. If that's possible. Yet. Bizarrely it's better than XFactor every year. The production values see to that. But no matter what my Victor Meldrew style grumpiness dictates - popularity wins every time.

And always will.
