They've just posted them on the site. Thank goodness they haven't messed around with the theme tune and it's quite strange no longer having the kolidascope (sp?) effect. It shows all the couples doing a few more moves than in previous series.

Edit: Just watched again and they do have the kolidascope effect but you see it in the background of each couple - so not as prominent. It's also seems that they've gone for a very silvery theme.

I think it will definately grow on me.

I like them, more emphasis on the professional dancers as well, which I approve of. Barely any of the celebs are doing anything other than standing still though!

I think it's great. Much better than before. Glitzy like it should be and technically advanced.

Can't watch due to location, guess I'll just have to wait 3 hours and 35 mins

If only that were true - some are shuffling about in an excruciating way.

How come only Felicity gets an air-machine to blow her hair about?

kaleidoscope, I believe is the word you're looking for.

thank goodness they left the theme tune alone.

I liked that the pro's are doing dance moves but alot of the time you can't see them properly and there's an annoying light in the background.....apart from that it's great

Analysis

Scott Marsden:
Looks like the fashionable one from a group of lads-on-the-razzle waiting for the girl he's spotted to notice how much better looking he is than EVERYONE ELSE ON EARTH.

Patsy Kensit:
Appears to have been distracted by something, as a kitten would by a silver bell or injured starling. Behind her, endless PatsyBots twirl around in a rather snide representation of her love life.

Paul Daniels:
Stands stock still while Ola prances around him, in a 21st century remake of his magic shows. Three hundred viewers complain that this segment should have been a tribute to much missed game show classic Every Second Counts.

Pamela Stephenson:
Beams as only a woman can after, it would seem, three weeks wearing the same crepe-paper 'dress'. Interestingly, at about 9 or 10 seconds, it appears a Doctor Who regeneration process is carrying on behind her in a subtle licence fee justification element the BBC hoped only Government ministers would notice.

Matt Baker:
Rocks side to side like the a first round lightweight boxer in the Commonwealth Games. Is the only opening sequence element where the kaliedoscope imagery utterly fails.

Kara Tointon:
Having one wrist held back in a manner which looks not worrying at all (not one bit) has not stopped Kara "I'm a model too, you know" Tointon from showing off the pose she used for the wedding-ring shots for Elizabeth Duke's new catalogue.

Peter Shilton:
Is playing it for laughs, clearly. Sadly Erin's face brings to mind the voice-overs from Fight Club. "I am Karen Hardy's simmering resentment"

Tina O'Brien
In a nod to Mormon sentiment, there are two jarringly edited sections here. The first has her and the 12year old in an embrace, followed rapidly by an awkward "brother and sister" type pose where the American Teen seems to be hiding his erect nipples.

Gavin Henson
Talking of erect nipples....Having been in a relationship with Charlotte Church for so long, the unease with which Gavin holds onto his partner is made all the more obvious by the woodentop wedding-cake model affairs going on in the background. Except they're not just 'going on', they're standing still. Cold, hard, stock still.

Ann Widdecombe
Preceded by a fleeting glimpse of thigh, the former MP for Maidstone and The Weald throws open her arms in a welcoming manner neatly counterchecked by the severe steep drop behind her.

Jimi Mistry
Can dance. WE GET IT.

Michelle Williams
Having to put up with Brendan moving his octopus hands all over her, Michelle nevertheless looks confident and ambitious. Her fixed grin has more beaming light than the fake spotlight effects.

Goldie
Has been given the Dom Littlewood charm school approach. This does not bode well. Womens' rights movements from Jersey to Kirkwall are watching his groping hands with Sky+ primed for screengrab action.

Felicity Kendal
Looks very good until the moment at about 34 seconds when her face morphs into Aphex Twin. Vincent would still, in all probability, tap that.

LOVE it... not the title sequence unfortunately. It'll be a grower. Nice seductive close-up of Katya caressing her thigh.

I knew that they would change the theme song somewhat, after they had changed the look of the American version. They used to have the kaleidoscopic look until last year, until the early 2010 series (series 10) where now they are all on a rooftop together with a big sign in the background flashing their names. I knew that they would change the British titles as well.

Love the new titles, I think they're much better than the ones from previous series.

The new titles are good but why couldn't they include the names of the pro dancers together with the names of the celebs?
