Oh dear, I'll have to try and forget who won before they show it here - we're 
about 2 years behind, the last series we had was won by a soap opera star.

While we're on the subject, how about an SCD version? One could have the 
celebrities dancing with dem teams from different branches, doing a different 
dance each week (as first couple, twice through, like for the teacher's certificate). 
They could start with a ceilidh dance the first week, then a reel or jig with no pdb 
and simple figures, then gradually increase the difficulty: strathspey, more 
complicated figures, pdb, etc. All that with 4 RSCDS examiners to do the judging 
and presented by Robbie Shepard, maybe? And of course, extra brownie point to 
any celebrity who manages to smile and look as though they're enjoying 
themselves while they're dancing!
