I'm surprised they've done this, digiguidetv has this schedule for the weekend.

Saturday 10th September
6:10pm to 7:15pm
Eight celebrities are paired with professionals in a ballroom dancing contest. Hosted by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly.

That would mean 16 celebrities again, but 14 have been confirmed so it may change.

hmmmmm interesting

Why is the launch show over two days?

I think the eight thing is just an error.

i reckoned that too

I think the second show might well be a repeat of the first.

Didnt they launch over 2 consecutive nights last year ?

The launch show was all in one night - the first competitive dancing was spread over a Friday and a Saturday show.

If you look at the BBC Press Office, they're only hyping up the Saturday airing. I'd say it has to be a repeat. Even with X Factor swimming around I doubt they'd launch anything at 5:25 on a Sunday anyway.

I see now, the Reveal/Launch with a group dance is being shown on 10th September

Sunday 11th is a repeat but apparently the main show will not then kick off until the 30th September with a double bill split over 30th Sept and 1st Oct ( if other websites are to be believed )

For a second I thought we were getting sixteen celebs and Darren & Lilia were coming back

Does anyone know who has actually been confirmed yet? If not when do we find out?

or perhaps a repeat of.........oh gosh, I dont know!!!!! lol

oh my god i just realised i go away for a long weekend on 30th Sept

You'll have to cancel your plans or, if it's work related, give up your job

What were you thinking!

Hellloooooooo everyone. Too exciting that the new season launches next week! Not long to go now until all is revealed.....

Was I dreaming or did I see a small trailor fer SCD with a gold glitter ball yesterday evening??

I can't wait.....


I saw it too. It was at the end of a trailer for new BBC shows in the Autumn

Digiguide has updated, the one on Sunday is definitely a repeat. Glad it's not the launch show being split, there would be way too much filler, and would have been stupid scheduling by the bbc.

It's almost here...

Oooooooh! How exciting! I have been in hibernation for the whole summer but am now starting to get excited Looking forward to catching up with everyone on the threads!

I'm just wondering, is that mini trailer thing on YouTube?
