    It is not on the watch website it looks like they are updating the dwts page as it is a broken link at the minute.

    I hope its not when strictly starts as Strictly has two Friday shows this year?! but didn't watch move DWTS to Thursday night for the first two shows last year (christmas series- Brooke won) ??

    According to Digiguide it's on at 2100 and 2230 on Monday 28th Sept.

    Not keen on the Monday slot,too many clashes with other shows, not keen on having to record a repeat either as i've noticed they're often edited more than the first showings.

    (No repeat listed yet on Digiguide btw)

    Thanks for that info - I honestly don't think I would have looked for it on a Monday; just expect everything to be the same as was before - I know, sad! Will have to set up dvd rec as always out on a Monday.

    I knew they may move it due to strictly for the first week or two but I thought they would move to Thursday like last year for a couple of episode maybe they will move it back after Strictly move away from Friday

    Not keen on a Monday showing - a week after it's been on in the USA. I hope they move it to Fridays after a couple of weeks.

    Is the results show going to be on the Monday night aswell straight after it, like fridays last year? (because above it says 9pm til 10.30pm which isn't long enough to include a results show aswell).

    I suppose they couldn't put it on Fridays as it would have clashed with start of scd. Maybe it will move to Fridays after 1st couple of weeks.

    I guess, though, we should be grateful we get to see dwts - whatever night it is on, as US don't get Strictly!

    I'm happy they show it at all since SYTYCD seems to have been dropped altogether by Living :mad:

    Nice to hear of a UK version coming to the BBC next year though, i wish BBC or Watch would pick up the US version from where Living left off!

    Very strange for Strictly to be on Fri/Sat and DWTS on Mondays though.

    No more info on Digiguide yet for results show or repeats etc.

    There are 3 episodes in the first week. Are they planning on fitting that all into one night?

    ^Bound too, and they'll probably cut out all the "extra bits". The Las Vegas Cast of The Lion King is supposed to be on.

    From the link posted by Lady Latina above:

    "Over the last four seasons, it's proved hugely popular and we suspect Kelly Osbourne’s involvement will really ensure this latest one attracts younger viewers while also offering Strictly fans the opportunity to enjoy the US take on their favourite dancing format every Friday night."

    Doesn't this suggest that DWTS will move to Fridays, once Strictly only on on Saturdays??

    Hiya,

    I am sure that they said on Watch that it would be on Mondays and Fridays??

    I think starting next week- will have a listen properly next time I have Watch on- do they have a website??

    I love this programme now I can watch it! :D
