Strictly 2020, Bubbles and no Bruno?

[Mrsemcgregor]

I’m not sure if there is a thread already, please direct me to it if there is!

It’s summer which means its the time of year I start musing about which celebs might be up for the glitter ball trophy this year! I was a bit worried we might not be getting a series this year but a quick google reassured me plans are in place.

So it looks like they are hoping for bubbles between the stars and professionals families, possibly weekly CV testing and temp checks. Hair, make up and costume to be done with PPE. Sounds like they could put on a fairly similar show to normal. No audience though, which will be weird. And I guess no gathering of contestants for the scores, which will be weird. Will the whole thing lack atmosphere?

So Jacqui Smith get Anton? Let's hope not for her sake.

Love clara’s frock.

She’ll be chuffed with him!

I like Clara and Aljaz too!

Love the pairing between Johannes and Caroline.

Lucky Clara

Has Anton got JS then?? 🙄 🙄 🙄

They need to keep reiterating the COVID things because of the inevitable complaints from the perpetually offended

Signing in I'm really tearful

Caroline looks amazing, but was a bit intense with Johannes there!!

Love alijaz

Are you ok @derxa ?

I would like Anton to get a surprise young un.

No one should be dodging the Anton by way of yoof.

Uff I know. Yawn

I'm so emotional about the start of this

She was so distracted by Joe Varney she let her dog get all tangled up and dragged him along!

Lucky her.

derxa??

Oh the opening scenes and costumes looked amazing. Loved the first 3 contestants.. Thank goodness Strictly is back!!

Me too cariadlet

Does this mean we'll be spared the audience clapping along and Tess's uncomfortable standing ovations?!

Loving the partnerships so far!

Giovanni didn't look creepy at all sitting on that rock
I thought he was wearing a onesie

Did Jacqui Smith have a political (expenses?) scandal?

Mind the dog!!!!!

It's good to be back, even in reduced circumstances, eh derxa

Mind the dog!!!!!
This year's motto!

I'm playing "guess the male pro by their hair". 2/2 so far.

Are 80s sleeves back in?

I'm quite emotional "seeing" all you lovely lot too. SCD threads are my favourite ever on MN.
