Ok folks here we go,

The series starts properly next Saturday, but tonight there is a preview programme. This will include an introduction to this years celebrities and their dance partners. Apparently they will be shown starting their rehearsals, so let's watch and see.
After the show let's see what each of us think of their chances.
If you can't watch tonight's show it is being repeated tomorrow afternoon at 5.30pm.

Catch you all later.

love
Helen

Well I'm still sticking with Tom and Camilla, also Lisa and Brendan, Mark and Hayley, and Gary and Karen. Gary certainly could move his hips.

I think it will either be John and Kristiana or Andrew and Ola that may go first.

i think your right about john going, and also gary can move his hips but can he move his feet!
anyway till next week i suppose i wont know...lol x

Hiya Helen - only just noticed your thread and your reply on my thread. Shall I delete mine as we don't need two going? Will leave it on until I hear from you. Keep dancing !!!

Hi Helen - I'm climbing aboard ready for the start of the new series. I think I said at the start that I wasn't particularly inspired by the line-up but I am quite happy to watch. Having said that they looked a bit more promising in the pre-view programme. As yet I have no favourite but will watch with interest one of the - I think - older contestants and that is Mark Foster, the Olynpic swimmer. I would imagine he must be really physically fit so maybe the training regime will not trouble him, I'm just curious as to whether he will be any good at dancing. Roll on Saturday !!

Right all you strictly fans - just under ten minutes to go and we're off!! Look forward to hearing your comments later.

ok folks, well what a start, Tom can cetainly move the hips.

he was very stiff and you could see he was nervous

Don was definatelty out of sync.

it certainly was. very elegant.

Right folks, I've got to go and get ready as we are going out tonight for a family meal with my Dad and brother and his family. It's a thing we've been doing in memory of Mum who passed away 7 years ago last Thursday, also to celebrate my **th Birthday on Monday, so keep the thread going while I'm away tonight and I'll catch up later with the comments and watch what I miss on Catch up later. Have a good night.

Margaret will no doubt put her comments up after the show.
