Strictly come DS-ing

Strictly. It's almost here and we are ridiculously excited!
Our editor of reality Alex went to the ultra sparkly launch night on Wednesday and met all the contestants - he didn't get a plus one for James Welsh though, which was a pretty risky move if you ask me... Apparently, the highlights included a fondle from Felicity Kendall (leg only), a request that he lick Scott Maslen's nipple (politely declined) and Brucey was on top form.
In a slightly related anecdote, I think I saw Claudia Winkleman earlier that day at a film screening. This anecdote sounded longer when I was squealing it down the phone to my sister. Written down it's more of a sentence than a story.
Simon - who is less about Strictly and more about Films - went to chat to Joe Dante instead. The chat included a mention of my suggestion that he call his autobiography Dante's Peak or Dante's Peek should he ever write one, and Simon offered him a tenner to help with a film. More on that story as it unfolds...
In other news, Chris Allen and I got namechecked by Louie Spence at the TV Choice Awards! He said: "Aren't you that guy who filmed me teaching that girl to dance?" Chris is now to be referred to exclusively as 'That Guy' while I am only answering to 'That Girl'.
Lastly, here's a pic of Barbara Windsor for no other reason than it landed in my inbox this morning* and we love pics of Babs!
