I hope the production values will be up to standard for this and not some embarrassing, cheap knock-off version

I can watch through Virgin Media as I am in the North.

Makson, The Voice Ireland has a simpler format compared to the UK version. But I actually prefer it, they get on with it no judges singing every until the final.

Here's a short article about the three judges
http://www.herald.ie/news/rte-unveil...-35304056.html

Since Lilia Kopylova is neither a pro dancer nor a judge, perhaps she is in Ireland as an adviser for the franchise and will make sure the production meets the required standard.

Loraine Barry is a top notch judge and coach, and having her on the judging panel is a real feather in the cap of the production company.

RTE have posted a 'Meet the Pros' video on Twitter for Curtis. I presume they'll add one for each of the pros; I'll post links to each as they put them up. ☺

Thanks for this

At around 0.20 you can see Lilia in a peach top standing in front of the mirror, so maybe she has a role as a choreographer??

Yeah that makes sense. Her and Darren are definitely involved somehow - I thought they might be judges, but no. Looks as if she's choreographing for sure

That is very very true - maybe Strictly should look at her to replace Len, but I am not sure she would wish to play the personality game.
I'm sure the SCD production company might be looking at how she gets on in Ireland, if she's a smash hit, she'd be an excellent replacement for Len, she certainly knows her stuff. I do wonder if they'll go for someone from the SCD 'family' though.

Looking forward to seeing the Irish version though, I find US DWTS a bit overrbearing compared to SCD but looking forward to seeing how RTE get on with it.

Honestly though, I'm really looking forward to this. Ireland is quite a small pool when it comes to "celebrity" talent putting themselves out there so it's good to see people I recognise. And unless some of them have the odd medal from a feis in 1987, then there's no filthy durty ringahs to complain about!

Just a heads up, their version of 'It Takes Two' , 'Can't Stop Dancing' is on Fridays RTE1 at 8.30pm

The first show is actually on the Friday before the main show starts, so we should get to see how everyone's getting on ahead of it. (Strictly, here's an idea )

Apparently not, and it will be interesting to see how that goes, given some bizarre music with strange interpretations on the just-finished season of SCD.

So there's a segment about the show in RTE guide this week; if anyone lives in Ireland and can get hold of it, I would much appreciate knowing what's in it.

Just checked mine and it doesn't say very much:

"New series. Nicky Byrne and Amanda Byram host an Irish version of the US celebrity dance contest. The contestants are sports broadcaster Des Cahill, comedian Katherine Lynch, Dr Eva Orsmond, reporter Teresa Mannion, HomeTown singer Dayl Cronin, Big Brother star Hughie Maughan, model Thalia Heffernan, footballer Aidan O'Mahony, actresses Aoibhin Garrihy and Denise McCormack and comedian Des Bishop."

That's all
