I was just cringing last night with the VTs. They looked like they'd been done by the work experience kids in about 30 seconds flat. Why did they even bother?

Dire!

Exactly as awful as I expected them to be :/

I sort of tune out when they're on,I think as I can't remember them.

No idea. I FF through the dross bits. Why can't they just do info on the dances or training vids?

They are quite awful. I quite like them

The usual putrid insults to adult intelligence.

I suspect that whoever filmed them was given 5 minutes tops with each couple.
Gets dark early these days

On a scale of one to ten? Twenty four?

"I'd like to thank my pro partner to bringing me to this greasy chippy as preparation for Saturday's cha cha cha. The fat fried food and cans of cheap lager really got me in the mood for a sizzling night out and serious partying."

Well that makes as much sense as anything shown in these VTs.

Naff and cringey. Another good reason to record and ff.

Funny, enjoyable breaks up the dances well. No issues.

I thought donkeys are banned from beaches .

More than anything a waste of the contestants' and dancers' time. They would've been better rehearsing or relaxing, drinking, braving the icy water, rockpooling, napping, anything, instead of participating in that poop

They're never going to win a British Comedy Award, but they're better than they were four or five years ago- some of those left my toes curled in agonising cramps for days.

But I keep reminding myself that the show is aimed at kids as well as adults.

Agreed - they were pretty "Len-expletive"ing awful!!

I love Pasha acting! I love Iveta acting! But apart from those two, who should have a comedy sketch together every week, training VTs are far more interesting and allow the viewer to get more invested in the celebs.

That poor australian in a donkey suite

Surely the beeb must hang their heads in shame
