I haven't seen it mentioned so did anyone else catch this?

Matt and Ian in the kitchen

Hiya Bonnie x

I thought I'd miss them more than I actually do.....

I've taken to the fresh faces. Robyn seem very sweet and supportive, Artem is rather easy on the eye and Jared and Tina look so cute together!

I guess I'm not as resistant to change as I thought I was

I watched it after someone kindly mentioned it on Twitter, but I am shocked to say that none of the old pros even entered my head tonight. I was too wrapped up enjoying the show.

I'm missing Ian, not too fussed about Matt. Natalie just serves to remind me he's missing

I was surprised to hear Camilla say she was still Ian's pro partner - I thought she'd given up dancing in favour of presenting.

I'm all set to give the new guys a fair hearing too, Sid xx - I just thought the diehards might like to know they haven't left tellyland altogether

I'm amazed by that. He is so much better with Natalie. Camilla is too short for him

I'm not that excited about the newbies but there are a few oldies I had rather they got rid of instead of the good ones . Vincent, James and Flavia for starters.

Great link - I miss Ian; he was my favourite pro.

I was surprised to hear Camilla say that too, but I much prefer Ian dancing with Natalie (that was a bit of a surprise too!).

didnt even notice they wernt there...

Matt looks adorable; I swear he looks at least 5 years younger. Must be all that pressure off his shoulders. I'm going to miss his snake hips, beautiful blue eyes and smile.

I miss male pros with their egos in check, something Ian, Matt and Darren always had.

This is an old programme, Matthew mentions winning with Alesha 'last year'. If it was on recently, it's a repeat.

I didn't bother to watch last night, I read the forum instead. The thought of an hour's programme with only 7 couples wasn't at all appealing, was there as much padding as I thought there was going to be?

Deperately missing Ian particularly. Matthew as well. We will get to see Ian briefly next Sunday, but it's not the same.

Yes that RSC was a repeat. Nice to see them both again though.

Ian did a show with Natalie in Reading in August, and they wanted to do more, but her involvement in SCD rules that out for the rest of this year probably. But he's still doing the odd gig with Camilla I believe. It's not like they're competing any more.

Never gave them a thought last night - what a thing to admit! They were my favourites and all. Vincent is my new favourite after the sheer cheek of his "Oh my God - I'm the greatest dancer in the world!" Dunno about the new boys, the jury is still out.

...........always *sobs*

A little reminder of them both in action:

I am liking Artem (before he's even danced..... shallow moi?!?) I'm justifying it by concluding that he is replacing Darren and not the other 2.

Sorry Darren fans

Artem replacing Darren or the other 2?

Have you all wiped BRIAN from your memory banks? How could you be so fickle?

I shall continue to ignore this thread title and proudly state I'm missing him lots.

(And Matt. And Ian.)

.... err oops.

Would you believe me if I said I'm missing Brian terribly??

(No I probably wouldn't either.....)

Don't worry. You're not alone. His name has been omittted from several other threads about the Lost Pro's. Obviously a niche taste.

BUT HE WAS DEMOTED TOO YOU KNOW.....

No padding at all - the exact opposite in fact. As usual with each couple, it was a case of training VT, performance, judges' comments & very quick chat with Tess and then the scores. The last couple only just made it to Tess to get their scores before the show had to end for the news.

You missed a great show last night.

There wasn't much point in mentioning people not in the video - was there?

I don't miss the pros. Pleased to have some new peeps. I watch it for the slebs.

I'm missing Ian loads ...I always looked forward to seeing him dance even if his partner wasn't my current favourite

Exactly the same as me!
Thought i'd miss them a lot more than i actually do.

Missed Ian terribly. the show lacked his special sparkle. I missed Matt too! No blonde competing pros


Ian is still dancing with Camilla. He said in Reading recently that he is dancing with both Camilla and Natalie depending on who people ask for and also who is available I suppose.


Precisely! Here here!

I think that Artem is a good dancer and his choreograhy was good. They make a good paetnership but I was not impressed at all with Robin or Jared

Agreed. My favourite male dancer too.

But the sun really disappeared over the horizon when Karen went.
