KEEP DANCING EVERYONE

Hopefully this thread will see some closure to the unpleasantness in the form of findings; as well as the build up to the beginning.

I do agree. I'd prefer her with Tom Dean tbh and Nadiya can sulk.
Katya and Adam were same heights as Karen and Tom and I can't believe she's never had a sportsman.

Oh wait up - there is another sportsman, isn't there, not announced yet?
In theory, she could have him. He'll be popular. Albeit older than I wanted for her.
He's 6ft.

Karen off the bench it is!

Actually, Karen could get the swimmer, Luba the footballer and Nadiya the presenter. That would work!!! Huzzah!

Gotta have a hobby!
You guys are very, very patient and tolerant of me.
My kids are grateful

I really hope poor Neil isn't benched again.. I know he gets a lot of hate on here but I have a soft spot for him and do really enjoy his choreography!

Me too!

I just had a memory of Gorka being attacked and having his teeth knocked out in Blackpool. It was a weird mysterious thing, but then iirc it was probably his girlfriend at the time who did it

I remember that. Gorka always seems a lovely bloke.

Or they just ring 100 agents of D listers. So easy if that's your job I would assume.

Checking in

Lost you all for a while there! Been very busy at work/life in general so catching up on the announcements so far.

We love it though 😍

First ever episode on tonight! 7pm on BBC4.

I didn't watch the first series kids would have probably been watching Ant and Dec or X factor

Oh that's exciting

Everyone will be orange ! That's what I remember

I didn't start watching until part-way through series 3, so it will be new for me.

Fake tan has advanced in 20 years 😀

That's about when I started watching too - I hope it is going on i-player so I can catch it later.

It's on iplayer after showing on TV I've just checked I'll probably be watching on iplayer.

Are they showing the whole series? Like ITV is doing with Classic Corrie?

I would like to see several episodes again, along with the early series I never saw originally.

Thanks @PolkadotsAndMoonbeams I've set it to record. Seems to be only an hour long. Was that how long the programme was back then? Or are we just seeing edited highlights?

It might be either @Taytocrisps

It was originally done for Sport Relief and I don't think there were a lot of competitors

There were only 8 contestants in series 1 so an hour is probably about right.

Gosh, look how young Tess looks!

Bloody hell Bruce.

Watching Bruce is painful!

Gosh what a throwback this is, just tuned in later than planned
