Slight programming issue, now my delivery is here, coffee made and I sat down to look at the short feature, usually around 0815 but late today.

Issue was I knew I had a Saint episode left, two actually, at a pinch but in came IYE to save us again … good, that bit done for today and the weekend. But the shorts were not great … Jago on Locomotion was one, also a long (48 mins) on fallout shelters of WW2 … too long for this short timeslot.

Jago I’m thinking is running out of ideas, as is Ruairidh, plus the motorway man has dropped off, plus Chris Spargo … I had a think about running these two again, did my homework and was surprised. A few commenters had asked … are these two married?

The cynical would say the flame dies and the chemistry ends but with these two dancers from France, it seems not to have died. They won championships in 2017/18, they actually married in 2023, I’ve run some earlier dancing by them in the last few days and though they’re great imho, there are only so many things a pair can do within the format … her upside down walking is one … but her overall “infectious niceness” is so endearing in our currently troubled times and he’s to be commended too … holding up his end well … kudos to the chap.

Quite agree … I recall playing this some years back actually. She’s obviously happy, he’s on clover … what’s not to like?

And as performers … we want neverending chemistry, no? In film, bands, whatever. Thomas Audon and Sophie Allaf. So yes, a bit OTT with the “joined up dancing” of late but I find it charming … sorry, sorry.

Well well well … look what I just found:
