Len said during the launch this is the best line up of celebs and pro's ever ?

is it ?

They say that every year - this year IMO has a few bigger stars in the few years I've seen but also the usual dross of nobodies as well.

I think it is a very interesting mix and Lulu and Jason Donovan are quite big stars. I just hope that as Anita is in it they will get Brian May to play!

Yes, overall, it probably is..... no "non triers" at least

i love this years line up!! its great - the most excited ive been for years about strictly

just wish there was 1 more youngster in it, another 20ish yr old

From a celeb point of view, I don't think it QUITE beats series 5 but I do like it - what I like so far is that there seems to be a really lovely spirit amongst the competitors - or so it seems on the little we've been able to see.

Could be a really good series, this one, from the celeb point of view.

Pro dancers - MOST DEFINITELY NOT.

I think for the strength of their personalities - yes, for dancing - I don't know yet.

The only ones I don't like so far are Jason for trying to hard and taking it too seriously and Lulu, well, for being Lulu.

It's the first year that I've "known" every celebrity in it so in that respect it does look like the best lineup ever IMO. However, we'll see - they might all be rubbish!

There are certainly less 'has beens' than in some previous years. Big, established and successful names like Rory, Anita, Lulu, Jason, who are all working non stop anyway, are a real surprise (whether you like them or not . . . . )

Yes, I was really surprised Jason signed up, he's having a very good run of work at the moment.

I don't really care about any of them...

I think its a good line up and I think Russell Grant will be so funny to watch as he will go well over the top
