Surprise! <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/jnraeside.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Julia</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/gralefrit.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joel</a> are jiving back into your feed for a special episode of COME STRICTLY DANCING. Hepped up on tinsel and at least two cocktails a piece, they discuss the whole Strictly 2024 shebang including the summer of scandal, what was going on with Wynn and Katya and how the nation and the show got the right winner in the end. Put another log on the fire and kick back for an hour and a bit of inconsequential dance chat. Happy Christmas!

2024 SERIES FINAL

Another glorious series of Strictly Come Dancing comes to a spectacular end with four alternate realities playing out in which everyone gets to experience a kind of victory before one of them actually has to take that plastic monstrosity back to their actual house. Julia and Joel fix martinis and take you through the last night of dancing before it's all packed away for another year. What are they going to do now? SPOILER ALERT: Like you need this. But they do discuss the result of the final of Strictly 2022, so please catch up with the BBC One show before listening.

Week 13: The FINAL - "It depends what you mean by win."

With only one week to go, Julia and Joel tuck into the semi-final selection box. Two dancers per couple means a lot of fast talking, so listen on a slower speed if you're feeling tired. SPOILER ALERT: We do discuss the result of "Monday's" dance-off so please catch up with the BBC One show before listening.

Week 12: Semi Final - no place for a human plateau.

Joel and Julia take it in turns to say "I'm an emotional person" until the podcast runs out. They also squeeze in some chat about Helen's magnificent shout out to her ex and Molly's flawless Chicago audition. SPOILER ALERT: We do discuss the result of Saturday's vote, so please catch up with the results show for Musicals Week before tuning in.

Week Eleven: Lycra, lions and Liza, oh my

Julia and Joel wade through the post-Blackpool ennui, fuelled by French Fancies, as Kym misses a week thanks to Covid. Stay tuned to the end to hear Julia put a whole Mr Kipling in her mouth. SPOILER ALERT: We do discuss the result of the dance-off so please don't listen until you've caught up with Sunday's BBC One show.

Week Ten: Give it beans, girl.

It's Blackpool! Join Julia and Joel as they launch themselves across the sprung dance floor of the Tower Ballroom to experience the true weightlessness of DANCE in its purest form. They'll also talk about the dancing competition, which dances they liked and who they think should have gone home. SPOILER ALERT: We do talk about the result of Sunday's dance-off so please catch up with the BBC One show before listening.

Week Nine: F*ck Pipes.

<a href="https://twitter.com/JNRaeside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Julia</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/gralefrit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joel</a> don snorkels to wade through the emotional flood of Blackpool Qualifiers week. No one wants to miss the works outing and who can blame them? Plus there's all the dance floor action from the nine remaining couples, CGI nipples and more crying. SPOILER ALERT: We do discuss the SENSATIONAL result of Sunday night's show, so please catch up with that before listening.

Week Eight - Your whole body is a banana!

<a href="https://twitter.com/JNRaeside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Julia</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/gralefrit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joel</a> are angry. (Well, Julia is.) The nation is telling its one hilaaaarious joke again and voting for someone who can't dance. Julia would like whoever started it to bring it to the front of the class so we can all share it, thank you. Come and find us on <a href="https://twitter.com/curseofstrictly" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> (while it lasts) to tell us what you think. SPOILER ALERT: There will be discussion of the dance-off and the result, so please make sure you've seen Sunday's results show before listening.

Week Seven: Why IS no one dancing to the Succession theme?

Welcome to Halloween Week on Come Strictly Dancing. <a href="https://twitter.com/JNRaeside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Julia</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/gralefrit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joel</a> get stuck into the mysteries of the spooky ballroom including Anton's haunted wig, Craig's return to drag and how a perfectly good Quickstep got ruined by being a Foxtrot. SPOILER ALERT: We do discuss the result of the dance-off, so don't listen until you're up to date with Strictly's Sunday results show.

Week Six: False teeth, mummies and one confused beekeeper

TV journalist and broadcaster Julia Raeside talks with comedy writer Joel Morris about the week's action on TV's spangliest celebrity dancefloor... I mean, they live in the same house, and watched it, so it's a waste otherwise. Part of the Cheese &amp; Pickle family of podcasts.
