At least the heat is off John Sergeant now that the producers have screwed up on the voting system in Strictly Come Dancing. On the other hand, if he hadn't resigned... NO - there is something strange about all this. Week after week people have been urged to ring up to vote for their favourites when those high up on the leader board obviously haven't needed the help to stay in as their place has already been secured by the judges. This cannot be the first week this has mattered, but it is the first week the BBC has said it does. I didn't think it was possible to string this show out any longer, but I've been proven wrong yet again. Perhaps next week there will be another draw because there's an r in the month, and the week after because it's nearly new year and they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. These three couples could be in a perpetual dance-off and they don't even know it; this could be their own personal Kafka nightmare as well as ours.
