I can't wait either. In many ways I prefer dwts to scd, but both shows compliment each other really - the same menu served up differently!

Thank you Kaycee. I read so many negative comments about DWTS and I think it is because people expect it to be an exact copy of SCD to have any value. I don't think it was ever the intention of DWTS to copy SCD but instead appeal to a different audience and just do its own thing. I agree there are a lot tricks and gimmicks and it is fast and slick but there have been some fabulous dances in the mix. There have been celeb journeys worth following. When you listen to the hootin' and hollering in the audience you can feel the excitement.

I hate to say it, but sadly I think there is a huge element in the UK that feels if something is done differently to what they are used to then it has to be bad/wrong.

I like both shows equally; they both have strengths and weaknesses, but then don't most things?

Totally agree with you kaycee.

I can't wait for both shows to start!

The only thing I'm really not so keen on, is that they are both on at the same time. Mind you, even that has its upside in that it can be funny watching dear old Len get grumpier and grumpier, anddaft old Bruno getting more and more stupid as jet lag and tiredness affects them both

'Grumpy' and 'Dafty' ; sounds like names from the seven dwarfs!

Now what could we call Craig and Alesha?

Thanks for the info..........love DWTS even thought I almost never know who anyone is bar a couple of international stars generally. Much as I love Derek Hough I would like to see him with someone other than young and glamourous

I'd love to see Derek or Mark Ballas cross the pond sometime and take part in Strictly.

Why stop at Derek and Mark?

I'd love to see Maks, Dmitry, Tony, Louis, Karina, Julianne, Cheryl and Lacey.

Can we have Tom Bergeron too?

Craig - Snidey (I do like him but he loves to make snide remarks at times)

Alesha - Cackley ? (just listen to her laugh!!)

How cool is that?

I'd go for

Heckle (Bruno), Jeckle (Len), Cackle (Alesha) and Snide (Craig)

Or Sparky (Len), Larky (Bruno), Sarky (Craig) and Dollface (alesha)

Or Snap (Craig) Cackle (Alesha), Pop (Len) and Bruno

Or Pissy (Craig), Hissy (Len) Sissy (Bruno) and Missy (Alesha)...

...still thinking

Cackle in some format for Alesha is a must, but finding rhyming names for the other three is hard!

I can't find any scheduling information on the Watch site. Does anyone know how long each show is? Will they show the results on the same night? Any scheduling info at all would be gratefully received.

I think Kaycee is right with 9.00pm as that slot shows 'To be announced' in my TV guide. BTW the 2008 SCD Christmas Special is on straight afterwards.

According to the next week's Radio Times DWTS will be on Watch both on Thursday (23/9/10) and Friday (24/9/10) from 9.00pm to 10.45pm.

Looking forward to it.

I think it is only on Thursday as Friday for the first week.

Saw an advert today saying that DWTS starts this Thursday @ 9pm and acc to Sky + it is also on Friday as well. The following week it is on Thursday as well acc to Radio times

It is probably so it wouldn't clash with Strictly when it is on Friday 1st October.
