The Perfect Strictly Companion

Expertly hosted by Ellie, the conversation is always lively, informed and highly entertaining. The views may not always be wholly impartial but where would the fun be in that! Series 2 has just started and the high standards of last year have been maintained and, dare I say, even raised. Great blend of voices... from 'frock of the week queen' Lisa to the ruthlessly analytical Anne. Richard and the occasional Ewan confirm that #SCD has at least a few male devotees. Great to hear views from outside the bubble. *Essential* fan listening.
