WOW, wow, wow! It’s back, and what a show.

Nothing on TV now, and nothing in the past, has ever equalled the BBC winner that is Strictly Come Dancing.

The dances at the movies were fabulous.

How the professionals taught the amateurs to dance them in a week is quite extraordinary.

We all still miss Bruce Forsyth, but it is to their credit that Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly have fronted the show so well.

Well done to all involved.

Inequality question has gone too far

THE women protesting about the equalisation of the retirement age are being disingenuous.

Men had no option to work until they were 65 before they got the state pension.

Women got it at 60, even though most had a non-working break while bringing up their children, plus the fact that the average woman lives five more years than a man so draws the state pension for those extra years.

The inequality question has gone too far past the middle line.

ITV putting BBC to shame on wedding

Congratulations to ITV’s coverage of last Friday’s Royal Wedding held at St Georges Chapel, Windsor.

It put to shame whoever at the BBC, no doubt a Republican sympathiser, decided the event was not worthy of being presented to the nation on any BBC channel.
