The couples have been announced and rehearsals have started. So strap on your dancing shoes, it's time for Strictly 2017 💃🏻🕺🏼

Thanks soup we can get iplayer for the radio but the Beeb has changed it's policy now for TV. dh is much more techie than me and he reckons he couldn't do it either!

I don't know if it's changed since you were here!

Now you're going to have to enter your licence number to use iplayer they should introduce a cut price ExPat's Licence.

Oh sorry Maryz, that should be ExPat, Irish and General Anglophiles Licence.

True Maryz and Calman

peat I think I should still be able to help you. I used it in April this year from Italy. Do you use google chrome?

Aww, Brendan has announced on Instagram that he and Zoe are expecting another baby.

I just had to seriously engage brain there Cave...my mind initially made the Zoe & Ball connection and I pulled this face but thankfully the penny dropped!

😂

Telegraph Twitter today

Rev Richard and Reddo dancing for the congregation at Dunedin church - Rev in his cassock!

They do look to be having so much fun.

Johnnie is looking good in the ballroom!

I use google safari soup We have tried!

Ah, you're on an iPad?

I don't know if you can do the same on google safari. But on google chrome you can install an add-on Called hula. It then can act as a proxy server for any country in the world.

Thanks very much soup I'm more on my apple laptop than my iPad which I find very tricky to use (apart from photos) tbh. I'll tell dh [grin.]

Sooooo excited

Not long to go now! I'm very excited too.

I will do some updated graphs on Friday and then we'll have lift off on Saturday. I think then I'll do graph updates on Mondays so we can see the impact of the weekends dances.

Eeee I just want it to be on already.

So do I soup !

Thanks cave

I'm so in love wth Oti.. her figure is just sensational and I swear her legs are 5 ft long! Ahem... anyway...

The interviews are good I agree with the best Ines you suggested.

thanks cave I really enjoyed the interviews. I know old Tony Beak gets a lot of stick but I think if the natural chemistry between him and Ruth comes across on screen they'll do well.
Top 4 popularity wise pre dancing on that poll 1. Susan 2. Ruth 3. Gemma 4. Jonnie
Will be really interesting how the people's votes and the judges' faves (Aston, Alex, Mollie) affect the scoreboard this year.

Shirley Ballas about to be interviewed on Radio 2....

Thanks The Sassy I might have just missed it, they're talking about a county show now!

Yes Shirley was on at 8.15 for those who want to listen on catch-up. She came across well I thought.
