Strictly is working its way through the stragglers, like raptors in Jurassic park. In this week of random theming and random Bruno disappearances, we struggle with AJ’s dock, adore Jonnie and Oti’s supermarket sweep and come up with a new and exciting theme week that involves a Charleston to the theme to One Foot In The Grave. Ellie, Lisa, Ann and Richard also go on a lengthy digression about steampunk. Visit www.keepdancingpodcast.com for news and back episodes.

Is it really never too early for a ten from Shirley? That's just one of the questions we seek to answer this week.

Ellie is joined by Lisa, Ann, Richard and new voice Jon for almost 2 hours of Strictly analysis, deconstruction and general larking about. With pirouetting bananas, inexplicable doorframes and Charlotte obtaining her freedom.

Movie Week! We take our film criticism very seriously indeed and get into Jonnie's posterior positioning, swoon over Susan's samba, debate Debbie in-depth and get swept away to the Russian romance of Joe's VW.

And who will win Frock of the Week? Or for that matter, Wig of the Week?

After week 2, we've got all sorts of strong views, especially about the end result. We're sorting the Improvers from the Dead Ringers with the help of new crew member Ann - she's sort of like our Shirley Ballas. Emily still likes Davood, Richard ventures views on frocks and Ellie has plans to start a commune with Susan, Susan's wife Lee, Jonnie and everyone else who loves Jonnie.

And just in case you were wondering, the velvet & ermine robe is faux. Obviously.

After the first live show, we try to work out who meets our expectations, who confounds our expectations and what our expectations were in the first place. Ellie is joined by Lisa, Emily and Richard to discuss the dances and by Ewan to try and work out the storyline of the whole series.

In our 2017 Strictly Come Dancing preview show, Ellie, Lisa and Emily assess the new contestants, make tentative forecasts on who would be their most suitable partners, bid a fond farewell to Bruce Forsyth and have the most incredible trouble remembering the names of the male pros.

We're back for more Strictly chat with a new judge, three new dancers and the first hints of the Strictly Class of 2017. Ellie and Lisa are your hosts and there's a couple of special, unexpected cameo appearances.

In Episode 18, we're recording straight after the result and we have a special guest - Ellie and Emily's mum, Julia.

- Did we approve of the judge's choice selections?

- Was the big prop in Ore & Joanne's show dance too big? (No!)

- The rules of the Eurovision drinking game and how they apply to Strictly

- Ellie & Emily's mum shaming them for being mean to Kevin

- Dawn leaves us a voicemail

As well as the usual chat and analysis we've got Frock of The Series to award.

Congratulations Ore & Joanne!

In Episode 17, it's the Semi Final and we're not so much angry as disappointed. Between the baffling scores and random judges comments we didn't get the best possible final line up.

Also this week:

- The most ridiculous prop of the series

- Claudia treated as an adult by everyone except Tess

- Ore rediscovers his charisma

- Danny and Oti created a perfect moment

- Louise fails to go Full Pineapple

Musicals week showcases the very best and very worst of Strictly's theme week excesses. In homage, this podcast contains some of our very best and very worst jokes.

We're sad about Rob Rinder leaving the competition, we're angry about the general concept of jukebox musicals and we are prepared to be slightly more patient with Louise. This lasts about thirty seconds.

Who wins Frock of the Week? Who do we think will be in the Final? And will we ever get to the bottom of why Anton looks and sounds exactly like Bruce Forsyth?
