Is anyone else ridiculously excited about the Strictly launch tonight?

[CeliaFate]

I can't wait! It's the highlight of my Saturday. Got my wine and nibbles in ready. Da da da da da da da, da da da da da DUH DUH DUH DUH
I've got high hopes for Holly, Harry and possible Lulu.

That's all I'm saying.

me!!

Me too - can't wait! though it's on at kids' bedtime so will have to watch it on delay (and try and decide whether to watch Doctor Who first or afterwards). At least with Sky+ I don't have to listen to Bruce and Tess and can just get down to the serious business :)

ME! But I'm going to an out-of-town friend's birthday and am staying overnight with a small group. We'll probably just spend the evening at her place, but no one except me and DP are Strictly fans and I don't suppose it'd be very good form to plead ask if we could watch it ...

Will have to record it and watch when I get home tomorrow night.

so will they put Brendan with Nancy?!

yes, my whole day is counting down to 6.10

and I must reset my phone ringtone!

Me,me,me!!

i wouldn't say ridiculously but

ooooh me too!

Me too. Can't wait. Have set up my series record and am attempting to get DD1 excited about the dancing programme too!

Yep, am ridiculously excited to see how Sav gets on. Love him, he's such a huge twat on the football field but seems really down to earth in person.

And me!

DH is out. Have got the girls coming over - we always turn into instant experts when it's on which I love "Didn't like that turn and she's not extending her arms properly. Nice legs though" etc, etc..

Olivia! Couldn't you have namechanged so we don't have to behave!

Excitement here too! Am quite sad that Zoe Ball is presenting 'It Takes Two' as I am not a fan and simply loved Claudia, but hey ho a minor downside to the otherwise glorious start of a new series!!

I'm very excited! sadly dd is too young to appreciate it, but that won't stop me explaining all the dances to her

i think OliviaMN will keep her head down on thread, eh Olivia

Wine in freezer for quick chilling.

HURRAH! I love Saturday evenings in the autumn. Strictly, Dr Who, Merlin, Beer, Pizza.

Except I can't join in with as-it-happens chat because everyone is doing stuff so need to record it and watch it later. but i will be back with my comments

chez Monica, we have very high expectations of Jason Donovan

and i think i might start watching 'Daybreak' sports coverage from now on

I so hope that Natalie gets one of the old duffers.

Eeeekkkkkk its started. We have fizzy wine, chocolate, popcorn and bakewell tarts!!

Did anyone notice alesha's tummy, is she pregnant, may have been the dress and they was she was leaning forward as she sat down?
