Strictly Come Dancing

I don't even know who's in the running.

Really looking forward to watching it. Thanks kittylester for starting the thread

I shall be hunkered down on my sofa with a glass of wine, really looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to 'the journey' wine chilling already.

I'd love Caroline Quentin to do well.

I do not really know who is taking part yet and I doubt if I will have heard of more than 4 of them. I have heard of Caroline Quentin but I have forgotten her past.
Do we have a new judge this year?

I haven't seen the line up either but really looking forward to it. We'll have our usual family sweepstake on facebook messenger to see who eventually gets the winner.

I'm supporting ranvir .

I haven’t a clue whose taking part apart from the boxer person, who is in a same sex duo.

I do like strictly, but have found myself getting bored the last couple of years especially with the chat. So hope I can get into it this year.

Just seen the line-up and had forgotten about Nicola and her smile, so that'll do me.

It’s supposedly a big reveal (tonight?) as to which celebrity gets which professional so how come we know already that Nicola wotsit has got Katya? Presumably, they have all known and been practising together for weeks. It’s just another smokescreen, like the supposed Sunday night results show, fooling none of us!

I do like Nicola and she will be fit so, in theory, should do well.

Same

Also bored with all the chit chat and daft sequences in between the actual dances, unnecessary padding making the programme far longer than it needs to be. I wish they'd changed the format somewhat.

Thank goodness! Something decent to watch on Saturday nights! Don't care who the celebs are .... just want to see some wonderful dancing.

Read in one of the papers today, that the whole band is not allowed to be there, so parts are being pre-recorded. Shame, as I love the live music.

I'm rooting for JJ tooKitty I've known his family since before he was born and know the devastaion they felt when he was so badly injured .I heard the Edie Stark interview with him on BBC Scotland and it brought me to tears.
He is a wonderful human being, a real product of his upbringing and I hope he does well in this ..as he has in everything else he's been involved with

Why has Claudia come out in her pyjamas?

Crikey phoenix!

You must have terribly glamorous night attire!

Aaarrgh! I hate this part where all the celebs pretend they have got the partner they wanted. Caroline Quentin was really irritating. I had hoped they were going to miss out this bit.

And phoenix I agree - Claudia looks terrible.

Love strictly! Can't wait!!

I'm missing that nice young boy, A J I think his name is. The sort of boyfriend I would have been pleased for my DD to bring home!

Looking at GN while also keeping an eye on Strictly.

Not really interested in all the beforehand chat and meet ups. Find the launch shows something to get through before better stuff later.

Think I recognise Caroline, Nicola, and the one from breakfast although I don’t watch it. Never heard of the young lad on at the minute, Harvey?

Oh, and Jamie who is from a famous biscuit family I think. I recognise him from an old Bake Off.

Never heard of the young lad on at the minute, Harvey?

It's Hrvy apparently!
