Hi is the show doing another Wembely episode this year. I thought when they did it last year it was great.

[*Topaz*]

Strictly at wembley didn't work on the tv so I hope they don't repeat it!

no idea, I guess the schedule and possible relocation of some episodes will be broadcast nearer to the launch of the first show

[*Jupiter*]

When they do this again (i hope not), at least the dances should be of higgher quality. Wembeley was such a disaster. I mean i like Alex Jones, but that she was top of the leaderboard showed how truly underwhelming that show was (but at least the wembley show got us rid of Russel and showed some hilarity, when Holly was in the bottom two and found it hilarious. Hollylove forever <3)

Wembley is great if you are in the audience, but didn't work on the TV so I hope that's scrapped this year. The place is so vast that the sound quality was poor on the TV.

The only place to take Strictly on the road is Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

Where is strictly going to be filmed once the sale of television centre is completed?

Quite possibly exactly where it is now, in TC1, television centre, as one option is for any new owner to keep a few studios and rent them out.

Interesting question, the obvious alternative would appear to be Studio HQ1 at Media City which is larger than TC1 at TVC,Some recent reports have mentioned that with Tvc now virtually abandoned by the BBC the building has become infested with rats and mice, hardly the ideal environment for one the flagship programmes.

So where is Strictly being filmed this year in the main - London??? Has anyone seen confirmation that its not one of the programmes that has been moved to Manchester

An option for Children in Need week (if still being filmed in London) would of course be one of these new studios in the lemon that is Media City....

And also where is ITT being filmed (also London still?)

I dont know!! I havent seen any confirmation of any kind but then I dont expect the BBC to let the public know until the very last second

Considering most of the pros are living in or near London would the BBC ship them all up and down to Manchester on a weekly basis its a heck of a long way to go......

Dont reckon logic would stop them.... if thats what they wanted.... (to prove the move to Manchester is a success).

Odd, as they BBC's plans see them vacating by 2013 (original planes seemed to indicate 2015), with BBC News and Weather still there until the first quarter of next year (prior to their move to the new Broadcasting House), and BBC Vision the last to relocate.

The BBC are still doing tours of TVC, Mon-Sat, and apparently have included Sundays from April this year

So I would suggest that these "recent reports" (especially concerning infestations of rats & mice) are incorrect.

I know that Wembley was a wash out as far as TV audiences were concerned, but it was a brilliant night for those of us that were lucky to be there - I have been applying for tickets for Strictly for years and this was the first opportunity I (and probably countless others) had been able to see a live show. It would be a shame if this was taken away - perhaps they could do something to improve it for TV audiences so that a wider audience could have the priviledge of seeing it live (instead of the seemingly endless stream of slebs that manage to get tickets)
