I think it was early June last year that it all came out - was just after the Southampton pro tour shows iirc, and that was the first week of June I think....

6th June last year I think so maybe some time similar this year?

Reckon the pro dancers may know allready , just waiting on statement to be released by bbc .

Didn't the BBC issue a press release last year after the news of the axed pros leaked to the press? I can't remember if that's the case or not, but if so it might be that they hadn't planned to release the news quite so early. Especially since the dance troupe wasn't anywhere near sorted out.

I seemto remember in previous years we didn't hear about the pros until much nearer the time, although unofficially many of them did confirm they would be back.

oh yeah never thought of that , maybe we wont find out till around july then .

If there isn't a press release, I guess a few of them will probably start mentioning it once they have signed their contracts.

Slightly OT, but something we've probably discussed on a lot of threads about the pros... My boss today noticed my SCD mug from one of the tours. She started telling me how much she loves the show, so I told her something I knew about Ian Waite. Even though she loves the show, she had no absolutely no idea who he was! The only ones she has heard of- you've guessed it- Anton and 'that guy from Australia or New Zealand'!

tbh i havent a clue which pros will be on this yrs scd after last yrs shocker .

Brendan says next month

Cool lets hope its not as shocking as last series with some of the other pros leaving

Some of the pro's that were dropped last year only found out they were not on the show a few hours before the Beeb issued the press release. Thats why the beeb had to say that some dancers were considering being in the dance troupe as they hadn't had time to consider their options,

im sure it will be more planned out this yr , last yr was all a bit of a farce

Do you think we will have a lauch show this year!

I think they probably will. So people have a clue who these people are for the show and if there are any new pros
