Nice to see that Johannes has been given a chance. I really enjoyed watching him last year.

Will be interesting to see the Jones competing against each other.

We only got into SCD as a family last year, I used to love Come Dancing as a kid and also watched some of the early SCDs but not watched it over the years and I have to say I am really looking forward to the new series.

I mix up Naydia and luba they look like the same person to me

I didn't like Nadiya too much her first year with Davood. In retrospect I think the producers forced her into a blonde bombshell/sex siren role as they no longer had Kristina or Ola. I wish they'd let her evolve her own style.

She seemed to have calmed down this series and did some really clever, beautiful and non spotlight-hogging choreography including the odd pro couple number.
I'm hopeful this is her true style but time will tell.

I thought Neil would be a good addition but I've gone off him more and more without meaning to! I haven't really enjoyed his pro numbers or the Christmas special. I feel like he only really dances well with Katya and that went pearshaped this past series. I thought I'd enjoy his YouTube comedy skits but they really creep me out Still hoping he might win me over this series.

I've loved Oti from the start but slightly went off her partnership with Graeme at certain points and her ballroom doesn't always wow me

I agree, Gareth; I think they had certain ideas for Nadiya at first but it wasn't very convincing. I'm glad she was allowed to just be a dancer and teacher last series and I thought she was excellent.

MrsJayy yes! You'll forever hear me moaning that they should be mastering the basics
All the dances are beginning to blur together - I slightly miss Len's grumpiness
Never thought I'd say that.

The blokes dancing in too-tight and too-short skinny trousers is my other pet peeve. As well men/women dancing in trainers ffs. Wear the proper attire - it really elevates the dance!

Romany enjoy Anton and Erin. I bought tickets for a family member some years ago and they said it was a great show!

I have a ticket for the show at Hammersmith tomorrow and can't be bothered to go. If anyone is interested PM me, it's an e-ticket.
