They don't normally make us wait 3 weeks do they before the show starts do they?

The show normally starts by now too. Having said that, I think the longer running shows have been running for too long and have made a lot of people tire of the show so maybe a shorter run could be the thing to keep people interested.

With any luck we could have some evenings with the elimination of 2 or even 3 couples.

Or Greytop looking at his watch and announcing that the show is over as it's time for bed.

Or Fiona Bruce coming in to read the news (and steal the glitterball).
