Strictly Come Dancing 2022

Have to say that I have never heard of him. I like Kim Marsh. ?

Jayde Adams was on a comedy series called ‘Alma’s Not Normal’ with Sophie Willan, which we loved, but it’s not to everyone’s taste. I’ve seen her on Richard Osman’s House of Games as well. We think she’s very funny. On the other hand I do hope Scarlett Moffat isn’t taking part. She’s been pushing for it for a long time though.

I like the dancing, but some of the judges are so full of themselves. Likewise the female presenters, especially 'her with the fringe' who makes me want to throw things at the screen (especially at those stupid shampoo ads!)

I watched some of the last series when I realised that Bill Bailey was a contestant...and didn't he do well! Such a funny and talented man.

I don't watch a lot of tv, and often don't know who the Celebrities are. I will probably catch the first few programmes and see if I take to it, or not.

There are rumours about Scarlett Moffat taking part.
I think that she may have a dance background

Apart from Will Mellors,whose face I recognise, I don’t know any of the new contestants. I watch it for the wonderful live band.

I always say I won’t bother this year. Never know more than one or two of the “celebrities” and yet somehow I get dragged into watching it. Always enjoy watching Giovanni though, both for his looks and his imaginative choreography, so, as always I’ll probably watch.
Can’t bear the thought if it being the run up to Christmas though ?

Me too, every year! But then I catch a bit by mistake and that's it my Saturday nights are locked in for the next few months! I do love it when the unexpected celeb wins though, not so keen on the ones who were already dance trained.

Let's be honest , a bit greedy to hog both shows! Anton more than capable of judging and giving great advice, love him!

? Looking forward to it but it does always mean we are nearing the end of summer.

I love it as it heralds the most wonderful season (Autumn) and the count down to C******!

The traffic bloke thing is a bit dreary.
I’ve haven’t heard of Jayde Addams either, and I’m usually quite up on celeb nonsense.
Kaye Adams isn’t exactly a ray of sunshine.
I suppose that they are running out of Loose Women…
Carol McGiffin would be amazing! ?

I can’t wait for strictly, a few weeks ago I saw Anton and Giovanni in their own show called Him and Me I just loved their dancing and taking the Micky out of each other because of the age gap.

Been a Strictly addict for years and looking forward to a decent Saturday evening’s entertainment. Always record it as well for so I can see more detail on replay.

It's not for me but I hope you all enjoy it.

Jayde Adams, the comedian, has just been announced. I saw her on something recently and liked her but cannot remember what it was, was not keen before that.

Totally agree Grandmabatty and I like Ritchie too

Why do people come on to a thread which is delighting in the return of a much loved programme to say they never watch it? Do they like pissing on folks cornflakes? Do they think it makes them superior somehow? There are lots of programmes recommended on here which I'm not going to watch, but I wouldn't go on a thread to announce it. It's a bit Bah! Humbug! Each to their own.

Totally agree - this isn't a programme I watch, but I know a great many people do and enjoy it, just as I am sure there are programmes I like which others may not. We are all different - I hope the programme proves to be very enjoyable to those of you who are looking forward to it.

I'm so looking forward to it. A few weeks of Giovanni swinging those hips....oh yes and the celebrities ?

Oops Shows

Grandmabatty I do so agree , we don’t have to like all the shod on tv , but those who do enjoy ?

Grandmabatty the word sourpuss comes to mind.
We shall continue to get giddy about the coming series ?

Every year I say the same when they announce the contestants.." who ?" I do think they are running out of well known people. I did love Russell Grant,Anne Widdecombe and John Sargent. Let's hope for promising contestants in the next few weeks but,oh dear ,does that mean we have to think about Christmas?

I'm really looking forward to Strictly starting again, although I agree it's a bit of double edged sword, as it does mean we are getting towards winter and the dark evenings again.

I never really mind who is on it, even if I don't like them, as I just like watching the "journey" (awful word, but it does fit!) from non-dancer, to pretty damned good.

I’d like to see Nick Knowles on Stricly!!

Another reason for me not to watch Saturday evening TV on the BBC! No real celebrities here but anyone who shows their face on television in whatever capacity gets presented as one! Thank heavens for the choice of channels we now have and can’t wait for the BBC to become subscription only, as it should be, and rid us of being forced to subsidise channels/‘entertainment’ many people never watch!

Pleased to hear Will Mellors is one of the contestants, I wonder who else is in the line up.

I went to see the Strictly Professionals Live show in Nottingham & they were all brilliant. It does remind us all that summers rapidly coming to an end but I’m looking forward to it, brightens up the Saturday evenings in the run up to Christmas.
