Strictly's Back

I shall record it and watch lter whizzing through the boring bits of which there are many including whenever Tess wants to say something (stumble over her inanities).

DGD is here tonight and looking forward to it so we'll watch live tonight.
I confess to recognising quite a few.
Time to make tea while the wittering goes on.

I recognised five, no more, but never watch soaps or listen to pop groups and seems quite a few soap actors .

Oh Tess wittering and giggling , not a happy thought .

Can't wait it beats X Factor hands down

Looking forward to seeing if Kush, Raf and Mo can dance tonight (can't remember their reall names )
I probably won't watch again until Blackpool.
I recognise about 6

only watch it when my GD is here so we'll watch tonight,I do like Joe McFadden ,have since he was a boy in Take The High Road ,watched him all through his career in The Crow Road and Heartbeat and Holby ,hope he does well

The only person I recognise is Ruth the lady married to Eamon Holmes. Ah well no doubt I will find out who they all are.

I cannot stand Claudia Winkleman's stupid humour and when I read how much she earned I was flabbergasted. I do enjoy the judges and the dancers.

Shall watch the dancing and judging. Everything else is fast-forward.

I hardly recognise any of them but expect I'll get to know them over the coming weeks. I always liked Brian Conley. Hope he does well. Time will tell!

I love listening to Richard Coles, his Saturday morning programme on radio 4 and when he is on HIGNFY

OMG Debbie McGee.

Susan Calman was really good,maybe not technically but it was hilarious

That new judge is a big improvement on Len. Mind you she looks and sounds like Arlene!

This series looks very promising, shame about some of the crap singing.

Well I started to watch it and was bored within 10 minutes.

It is recorded so I can watch it another time as it might just have been the frame of mind I was in.

Like others I only seem to know about 4 of them

If Richard Cole was our vicar I'd go to church!

I agree about the singing Alima.

He was brilliant.

Merlot, I agree Debbie McGee was a surprize. Susan was better than I expected.

I thought Debbie McGee did really well.

Really enjoyed it and so glad it's back!

McGee was very good, but she had been a professional ballet dancer before she was strangely atttracted to millionaire Paul Daniels.

What ever the strange attraction the marriage lasted 28 years

I just looked McGee up on Wiki. She's done a lot of ballet training so it's not a level playing field which seems unfair. The new judge did well but someone should tell her she can't award an extra point just because she 'liked it'. I wonder if Darcey feels overlooked but perhaps it wouldn't be right to have a ballet dancer as head judge of a ballroom dancing competition.
