Update. Watch admin say on their forum that they will not be broadcasting DWTS.

Noone else seems to be stepping in either so sounds like we will be denied the fun, even though it will get lots of column inches in the newspapers.

Particularly as it is getting a lot of press with Kirstie Alley.

Here's the Watch message board where the news came out:

http://uktv.co.uk/watch/thread/threadID/45841

Perhaps we should all let our feelings be known there.

Sorry to hear this. At least it is widely available on the web.

Whilst clips are available on the net, watching it in real time is a totally different thing. You cannot look it up on the net without finding out the results.

I avoid the net until have seen the results show so can enjoy the anticipation of favourite dancers getting through.

Haven't found anywhere that shows the whole episodes online.

And then there is quality of broadcast. Nothing beats getting it on TV.

Aww, dammit. This was the first year I was going to watch all the episodes without knowing the results as well

I am not sure if you view this because it is from ABC. Meet the cast.

I wonder if the ratings have gone down and that is why it was dropped from the schedule?

You can download each episode from loads of sites almost straight after the show is broadcast in the US and the quality is the same as watching it live. There has never been any need to wait for the UK broadcast. If you look back at posts from previous series you will see that people who watched the show before the UK broadcast always tried to avoid spoiling the results (it didn't always work!).

It's a shame it's not being shown (even though I don't get Watch!) - more people would see it that way, and there'd be more buzz. Hey ho.

I'd like to try the download thing as it would be nicer than keeping up care of YT. Can anyone tell me the best sites to look at for doing this, or are they *unofficial*, in which case, could you send me a PM?

I'm assuming you have to pay for it and might need certain software....I'm now officially out of my depth

That's disastrous (well almost!!) news. I prefer dwts to scd and was really looking forward to it starting soon.

Watch is a bbc owned station, so it is they who have decided against showing it.

The invitation to get in touch at the bottom of this page may also be worth a shot

http://tv.sky.com/dancing-with-the-stars-2

Suspect it's too late scheduling wise to show soon after US broadcast but we may get it later on, as per earlier series which were shown on BBC some time after the season had run.

This news has annoyed me! I will just have to watch it on the internet instead of watching it on television.

ET is starting to film the rehearsals. They usually do one each evening. This Ralph Macchio and he is doing the foxtrot.

(Please note to keep the volume down because of that highly annoying announcer who comes on the end. I am embarrassed about American TV with stuff like this. They think you are in your kitchen and have to shout.)
