New thread, mark your places for tonight's show

I agree the show lacks any warmth or intimacy.

Aaaah. Nice that Artem's ok.

Training with both of them? Lucky beyatch!

Too many screechy audience, too echoy, not good.

Frankie goes to hollywood! On the BBC! Mike Read would be turning on his grave if he was dead

Yay artem's back.

Well the whole 'Wembley' thing is a bit sh*t so far. BBC producers if you're watching, don't bother next year. The dancers are just too far away and look tiny & lost in that space. You can't see the dancing properly not that they have to bother with proper dances this year
Robbie's 'dance' was awful. WTF were Len, Aleisha & Bruno watching - or don't they have paddles less than 7?

I must be on my own coz I'm quite enjoying the venue, it's quite exciting & interesting. Agree it's not intimate, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's not like they are going to do this every week!

What dance was that

I like the skirt on Holly but not the top what's that about, love the song choice. Run dance run dance! They are having to cover a lot of floor! I would give it 7!

They just seem to be struggling to cover the area.

Quick step I think

Glad it's not just me - I've come looking for the thread specially to see what you're making of Wembley. It is awful, isn't it? Can't really see the dancers a lot of the time. Very disappointing.

Blackpool is later in the series.

It just looked like a mad desperate sprint round the space at the end.

Did everyone see the Artem/Brendan montage on ITT? Funniest thing on tv this year!

That Quickstep was pretty good, but agree with Bruno that she looked like she couldn't keep up at times.

Well that was much more like it, but a good demonstration of why the quickstep is not normally danced in knee length skirts.

Nice to see Artem back, agree that the top of Holly's dress is just awful!!

I agree, i really don't like Wembley. It's really putting me off.

Thank you twinklytroll.

Will be interesting to hear how much Pinot could see.

The echoing is getting very annoying.

Top of Holly's dress is supposed to look like a Cardigan, think it would have been better in a colour rather than skin tone!

Oh Blackpool is later in the series, didn't realise, will it be the final? I thought they normally did B/pool halfway through?

Gosh Robin looks extremely orange!

My entire family is talking about the wrongness of Anita's hair.

It's the final in blackpool...think they have done the final there before haven't they?
