Anyone know what date DWTS starts here in the UK?

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 wiki the start date in the USA is 21st September which is the second week of Strictly which starts on the 18th

dwts is usually on in UK the same week as it appears live in UK - only on the Friday.

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.

Poor old Sky box will be working overtime!!! what with our SCD and DWTS and of course XFactor!!!
It always used to be on a friday didnt it?

I'm definitley going to keep up with this series, so I guess I'm going to be putting my new DVD recorder to good use.

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).

Having to wait a week is just daft!

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!

According to this article will be transmit it on the 28th.

Thanks to greytop1967 for posted the lin on SCD thread.

Thank you - that sounds hopeful!

Thanks for that .

Still seems like a long wait, in comparision with usual though .

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

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.

Am new to this forum, but what Channel is DWTS on on UK/Irish t.v?

it's on Watch (and Watch +1 )

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??

On Monday 28th isnt it?

There are two shows listed in Radio Times 0n Friday 2nd October, 9.00 to 10.40 and 10.40 to 11.35.

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!
