2 shows tonight......so pleased, this takes it back to how the show used to be before they had a show on the Saturday and a show on the Sunday.
This is so much better as you can see the dances and it then gives you more time to vote and also hopefully there will be more dances from the pro's too so more entertaining.
So pleased the BBC have seen sense and gone back to this format, I hope they go back to this for the whole series next year.

Totally agree with you OP, it's like we've finally got our Strictly back.

I dont quite understand why the second show isnt on until 9.40 though after the lottery casualty AND the impression show it does seem a bit late the audience will miss their trains home.......unless ofcourse (which I think will be the case) it wont be live.....it will be recorded after the main show. We will know when they say how long the voting lines are open for. Longer that 15 mins but not an hour and a half I would imagine.

Yes, really looking forward to tonight's shows.

I doubt it will be live too - far too long to keep the audience entertained.

Wonder if there`ll be any early leaks?

I actually just like one long show.

I don't like my Strictly viewing to be interrupted - I just like to sit down and bask in all that Strictly goodness!

It'll be interesting to see what happens to the ratings.

I suspect the main show ratings will go up because people won't be switching over during the 15 minutes of filler, but the results show may suffer by being on so late.

In ye olden days of Strictly past is was usually on around 9:30pm and it was live then so...
