Maybe though I've never really warmed to her as I think her face looks a bit odd. Gemma Atkinson however

Just hope she can dance a bit so isn't knocked out too early.

She's gone very muscly of late......

Interesting line-up. And I've even heard of some of them too.

It will be interesting to see how the Paralympian will do.

Has Aston been watching some Kid n Play videos? That hair is mad

Every year I think " Jesus, not Strictly again, that's every weekend my GF will be glued to the box" and yet every year I find myself drawn in to it and we end up making Saturday a night for a few drinks, a takeaway and Strictly. Looking forward to this!

University challenge, mastermind, and only connect coming back on signals end of summer. Strictly is an early warning of winter coming

Looking forward to it, as we're both addicts now, but I'm not won over by the line-up at all yet.

Seems to be quite an old crowd, with few youngsters and slightly disappointed by the sexy women quota.

First year I watched fully had Abbey Clancey, Rachel Riley, Susanna Reid and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Think that combo was what got me hooked

So, anyone remembered it is the opening show tonight?

[SPR2]

Yes,

[Wait Here Until Green Light Shows]

Lovely tribute.

[E24man]

A very teary Tess during the Bruce tribute and typical BBC piss-poor sound mixing during the 'live' singing segments; but most of the celebrities are fairly well known this year.

Family all looking forward to it though.

I forgot, but it's available on BBC iPlayer now so I could watch it.

I always find the opening show a bit of a "meh" really. Is it worth watching?

[52classic]

Good old fashioned entertainment.......... Mrs C also spotted that Shirley Ballas had left the price ticket on her shoes!

On iPlayer on one screen whilst browsing/posting on PH on the other? Sure.

I especially liked the Paralympian commenting on the fact that the first song to dance to was Footloose...
