My OperaSergeant goes Strictly AWOL - by Our Entertainment Correspondent

I feel cheated, let down, conned, and that was before John Sergeant quit 'Strictly come dancing', so you can imagine how I'm feeling right now.
After all his great pronouncements about viewer's votes counting Sergeant goes and quits. The BBC must be hopping mad, the great man ('Great' as in 'large and rotund') was a true crowd pleaser and was also pulling in vast sums for the Children in Need charity, and they may now have to refund the money to those who voted for for him. Mind you, if I'd voted I'd have told them to keep the money, it's not the kid's fault that Sergeant wimped out.
The thing is, should the other no hopers also fall on their swords then? I can think of a couple of other clodhoppers who don't stand a bonfire in my refrigerator's chance of winning, or at least they didn't before the Sarge did a bunk. What's the point of the programme if competitors who've realised that they shouldn't win just walk off? Why bother with voting? Where's the playground Susie? What's it all about, Alphie? What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? How many roads must a man walk down before he admits he is lost?
At least I can answer that last one.
42.
I've had enough of this, I'm going to bed and in the morning it will all have been a bad dream.
Night-night.
