General Chat

Just check the TV Listings.

The launch show will be next Saturday, at 7.45pm on BBC1.

Be still my beating heart! :-D :-D ;-)

Anton is a judge this year, so he will not be lumbered with two left feet. Although he gives value for money! ;-)

Brilliant news. At long last I can get back into the routine whereby we eat before it starts and all door knockers and phone ringers get ignored!!!!!!
Even my little dog knows not to ask for anything whilst it's on. She recognises the introduction music and wags her tale. Probably because she knows she gets a continual lap for the duration and a ready hand for fuss.
Can't wait to get to know the couples.

Brilliant, thank you Belle. :-)

I've got two weeks to fluff me tulle. ;-) ;-)

The start date has been announced.......18 September, mark it on your calendar :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

I can do miniature AnninGlos, also very happy to do toyboy!!!!!!!! ;-)

Albeit in miniature Kay :-) :-D

LondonBelle, thanks for that. No doubt someone will let us know the actual date soon.

MotownGirl, always happy to chat Strictly!! :-D
Still miss the gorgeous AJ. Brilliant dancer, a total gentleman and general all round hunk.

Well. have to say i have only heard of about 3 of those names!!

Better do some googling lol before it starts.

The most memorable one for me has to be Anne Wydicombe (Spelling?)

Florence in the hebrides

Yes Maggie, I remember that. Comical, but very, very good. He really perfected his moves.

Robert Webb has 'form' for dancing :-D :-D

Anyone else remember him dancing to 'What A Feeling' for Comic Relief in 2009?

Hi Maddie, always happy to twirl.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve only ever watched one series of Strictly - because a pal told me I ought to watch Jay who was a great dancer. He was!

Nice to see Ann, Kay and Joy twirling onto this thread.

I do hope Covid will not rear its ugly head, and some have to isolate.

I know seven of them!

Tilly is Gordon Ramsey's daughter.

Greg Wise - actor husband of,Emma Thompson;
Adam Peaty - Olympic swimmer;
Dan Walker - BBC morning news announcer and sports presenter
Katie McGlynn - Corrie.

They’re the ones I have heard of.

In the back of my mind, many years ago, Dan Walker was quite religious and refused to work on Sundays. Or have I got the wrong guy?

One morning a short while ago he announced he was taking a break from the morning news - now I know why!

I think Strictly normally starts in September but the 2021 launch date has yet to be announced :-D

I only know 3!!
I must lead a very sheltered life!!
I was trying to think when it starts. Is it November?

So Sinead from Corrie and Frankie from EEnders. Frankie is deaf, that should be interesting.

Let us hope that Covid stays away from them. I did see one of the professional dancers tested positive.

Married to Emma Thompson. He was in Sense and Sensibility.

He was Willoughby, striding across the moors! ;-)
