Before I discuss this week's episode I just want to say that I usually really enjoy watching Live! Laugh! Linedance! It's great to see what other clubs are doing across the country and beyond, to see the great line dance personalities on our screen, and the latest dances with the odd classic thrown in which makes you go 'ooh I used to do that etc.' But I have to say I was very disappointed with this weeks episode.

This was the theme of this weeks show, but all of the video clips shown have been broadcast in previous episodes and this was just a mismatch of old clips. The classics shown were: (Scripts linked in title)

Vertical Expressions - Vera Fisher & Teresa Lawrence (Int)

Shania's moment - Nathan Easey (Int)

Red hot salsa - Christina Browne (Beg) (to the longest track ever I swear)

Lamtarra Rhumba - Tony Chapman (Int)

Swamp Thang - Max Perry (Int)

Just a Memory - John Dean & Maggie Gallagher (Int)

Scotia Samba - Liz Clark & Bev Clarke (Int)

Now, before anyone gets on their high horse to defend the classics, I love all of the dance's above and I actually think a classics episode is a brilliant idea, but it would have been nice to see some of the other classic dances we do like Into the Arena & Shakatak (You can probably think of many others) and new clips - not clips recycled from previous episodes - Just a Memory was from Christmas last year (either that or someone has had a very early Christmas social this year), 

The other issue is that we only had a 'recap' show a few weeks ago, which yet again was a compilation show of previously shown clips. I could even understand if these episodes were broadcast over Christmas or the Summer holidays, perhaps if the crew wasn't available but to have this show now at a time when there are a lot of line dance weekends going on, the crystal boot nominations have been announced and dancing is very popular with the return of Strictly - it just seems silly to me, particularly with new video's being uploaded on file sharing websites like youtube and facebook week on week.

If it was to be a compilation show, why not all the CBA nominees so we can be reminded as to what we're voting for with voting details for each one 'a la' tv talent shows. Why not a current chart playlist (although how you'd work that out at the moment I wouldn't have a clue!), a compilation of up and coming choreographers or even a classic episode showing different footage and more dances rather than wasting 5 minutes of screen time on Red Hot Salsa!

I miss the line dance chat and interviews - yes Nicki Sharon spoke to Alison Biggs about the up and coming live laugh line dance! party's but they've been promoting those for a while now and I want to know more about what is going on on the line dance scene in general not just when they are filming next.

I know they filmed at Bracklesham bay and I'm sure there has been filming since then so where is the rest of the footage from this as we've seen next to nothing.

Come on Live Laugh Line Dance! You can do better than this!
