Thanks for the latest info darlo.
Phil Tufnell`s partner may have her hands full it seems. He is a bit of a wayward lad.
If Rav Wildings thighs are so stocky I wonder if it will restrict him a bit in some of the more supple dances (although he looks fit.)

Some of those contestants look hot like they can dance well

Good trailer. It`s addiding to the antici....pation already.

I've registered back on the SCD forums/message boards , been there two years now .

I don't think it will tbh altohugh I might be wrong, last year the BBC and ITV had an agreement that they didn't clash so both channels got high ratings for the shows .

I'd be willing to bet my last shilling it will!

Phil Tufnell can hardly walk after training?

Jo Wood


Oh dear , making a mistake getting on the wrong side of Brendan .

If Jo Wood and Brendan Cole are clashing at this early stage - they'll either go on to be close buddies, or there will be war.

I've been glued to it for the past couple of seasons, but not this time. I'm in Team Arlene and boycotting it

Will you watch her new dance show on Sky with Davina, Demantoid?
I've no idea when it's starting but the hype is that it will rival SCD.

Probably not - I'm all Davina-ed out.

SCD draw video


As the link says SCD draw video to decide which mixed groups the celebs are in, the video also explains whats happening in weeks 1 and 2 .

I'm wrong SCD and XF will clash , predicting X-Factor will win the ratings battle though .

I'll be watching the dancing. I like watching how training and tuition improves their performance week by week.
Whereas on the X Factor they are usually as bad at the end of the series as they are at the beginning.
If there are any exceptional singers they will be talked about so I can check them out later.
Dancing for me.

SCD rocks plus XF is replayed on ITV and ITV 2 on Sunday or you can watch it on ITV Net Player . SCD is more entertaining imo I enjoy it more .

I like SCD, but prefer AF so its ITV for me

I prefer watching celebs getting humiliated on national tv rather than your everyday deluded so it's SCD for me.

quote:

I liked JS also , he got 1.7 million votes the week Cherie and Lisa was in the dance off so he had an excellent chance of winning if he stayed .

John & Kristina 1,700,000
Tom & Camilla 890,000
Austin & Erin 700,000
Christine & Matt 500,000
Jodie & Ian 300,000
Lisa & Brendan 300,000
Rachel & Vincent 300,000
Cherie & James 200,000



Figures from the vote the week of Lisa vs Cherie dance off last year .

Just done one on LC Brisket, if we are still here Friday then I will create one then .

The lineup of celebrities taking part in the first two Strictly Come Dancing episodes has been confirmed.

Boxer Joe Calzaghe, actress Lynda Bellingham, ex-tennis player Martina Hingis, soap star Ricky Groves, athlete Jade Johnson, The Bill's Ali Bastian, newsreader Chris Hollins and TV presenter Rav Wilding will compete in the first Friday and Saturday shows.

On the Friday, they will perform either a Tango or a Waltz, while on Saturday they will have to do a Cha Cha Cha or a Rumba.

The remaining eight stars - Jo Wood, Phil Tufnell, Laila Rouass, Craig Kelly, Richard Dunwoody, Zoe Lucker, Ricky Whittle and Natalie Cassidy - will not compete until Week Two. However, they will appear to perform a group Mambo routine on the Friday show.

New judge Alesha Dixon will join the regular panel of Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli to assess the dancers' progress.

Strictly returns on Friday at 8.30pm on BBC One.

I don't really care for Strictly TBH, I'll watch it if there's nothing else on but wouldn't get excited over it....sorry darlo!

Thanks for the training video darlo.
It`s all adding to the build up.
Nice to see Brian`s lovely smile.

That clashes with Soccer Saturday, so I'm going to miss the second Corrie and watch that later on ITV2.

Really looking forward to it now, something good to watch on Saturdays (sorry X Factor fans)
