It's nearly Time !!!

Yay and good evening, I can't wait.

ETA thanks for the thread.

Thank you for the thread

The countdown to Christmas continues with the BBC's big hitter

If you know who has been paired with who already, please out of courtesy keep it to yourself until we all find out in tonight's show

No clash with the other show on ITV, some will be pleased to know

I know the pairings but like to watch the reactions that people make when they are revealed

Argh, I hate repeats. Looking forward to it!

Was just thinking ,only an hour to go, then came on here and saw the thread...

Really looking forward to it, even though have read the spoiler thread.

Will be watching out for all the things you mentioned Stig

I love the wide eyed innocence of the early days of a series where we all believe we won't get as invested this year before the traditional week 3 descent into chaos and debate and cries of fix and overmarked as faves and anti faves emerge.

Thanks for the thread. I've not been this excited for a series since 2012!

Show off!

What time does it start?

6.50pm

Can't wait - 45 minutes!

Thank you

So excited y'all.

QUEEN Tameka <333

Anastacia GODDESS <333

Really excited for tonight -- missed having entertaining TV on a Saturday night. Looks like a mixed group of talents, let's see what happens!

wooop !! wooop !! its that time of the year again . I am so excited
Thanks for starting the thread op

I've been dragged to a restaurant just now, so it's likely that I'll miss the start. Still excited, hopefully I won't miss too much

Evenin' everybody peeps

Thanks for the threadage

Yay!!!! The Lovely 'Pink' Room is back - so comforting

I need SCD soooooo badly - still reeling from the debacle that was CBB.

Today, I'll mostly be supporting Will Young - I lurves him - he'd better be good

Please let Queen Tameka win, I will get £290 if she does, drinks all around.

Same here. I watched the Jay/Aliona one back a few times.

Less than half an hour to go now.

I am really looking forwards to the show tonight. My only issue is that we then have to wait 3 more weeks for the next episode!! Still looking forwards to seeing the pairings and hearing their comments.

When is the next episode, when the show starts proper?

Couple of weeks as they have to have time to practise

Mrs Kay or Claudia will probably announce the official date at the end of tonight's show

Hello, good evening!

I am soooooooo excited!

Thanks for the thread Eadfrith.

I think it will be sept 23 and 24, after 3 weeks of training.

( good job I checked auto correct, that came up as 3 weeks of grinding ! )
