Watching Strictly Live Show 1 - October 1st 2010

i cant wait for it to start lol

So looking forward to Strictly starting looking forward to seeing Scott and Natalie but good luck to everyone

Evening all, am looking forward to seeing who turns up this evening. I am also wondering whether the dresses will follow the normal pattern and improve as the series progresses. I see they are saving the Widdemeister till tomorrow.

Woof peeps. I have a request form a friend in Belgium who has lost BBC1 from her telly and doesn't know how to retune it (it's not a digital one, I tried to help)who has asked me to give a cheer for Goldie and Kristina . So C'mon G n'K. Ra Ra Ra.



Me I'll wait as usually to find a favourite and start by supporting all.

How long was the queue how early paul? It's one of those questions that people with tickets always seem to want to know.

Hello Dfer, I was hoping you'd be here.

Good luck to you all

Wow its on Yeah !!!!!!!

Enjoy the show folks.

I guess that the BBC policy is to issue more tickets than seats available so some fans would be disappointed?

ahhh so have to refresh the page. Awww hope you come through modding quick Sarah. *waves paw at Bruce and passes around some fishpaste sandwiches*

Come on!

I am already spotting no new oufits for those not dancing this week.

The Good dance?

i meant tonight.

Loving the new titles! 

Fish paste sandwiches, how divine.



Go Felicity!!

Well a first dance, a bit forgetful, but enough basic there.

wow great first dance

(sings) yellow bird up in bananna tree.



Some sign of promise, but I had hoped for a bit more from Felicity.

go vincent love that dance

Vincent and Felicity - not bad for their first dance

Good start Felicity, there'll be a lot worse than her.

Nit bad.



A bit safe and sedate but a very good start I thought.

Fab felicity!



But where have the message boards gone?

Oh for goodness sake.



Not bad not nit bad.

I thought she did well for the first dance of the series

what is Matt & Aliona wearing?

Bleepin' Craig :)

I love this show. I have never missed one. its so good to see such a mixed bunch of celebs this year. Good luck guys! ;) cant wait to go on tour for my birthday next year. yay

Alesha and bruno are off already.

4577 Flick's new pin number

Does anyone know whether or not the proper forums are returning this year? I hope so!!

Craig's always so mean

boo graig ha

Not sure it was a 7 dance more like a 5 like Len

No elle this is it.

Don't think so Elle, looks like it's here or nothing.

Well done Felicity! A great first dance, 23!



what have the beeb done with the opening titles? i loved the old Kaleidoscope opening titles, too americanised and cheesy.

The old one was so much classier and original.



Apart from that, roll on the rest of the show, good luck to Jimi and Flavia as well!

I have high hopes for scott.



there that's cursed it.

go scot

Scott - WOW!

Great choice of song Natalie

Was there a lift at the begining? she has both feet off the floor

Oooooooo Puppies

Nice one scott. I am finding the black dress a bit low key against the blue backdrop. But brill first dance.

Bruno is such a drama queen

Very good first ballroom.

Though Scott and Felicity have been amazing so far and the show is fab

S & N he looked so scared but a good first dance. Mixed comments but Craig well.... wasnt expecting thoses comments but I agree with them from him.

I love Len's SEVEN

Go Goldie!

come on great show

G & K - looking forward to this pairing

It seems strange watching this on any other night than Saturday

Goldie and Kristina are amazing love them

Wait for the comments about Goldies arms!

Not bad, not bad

A bit tame but I can see there is a hip wiggler in there dying to get out.

I agree, a bit more disco than cha cha.



But not bad.

Booh Craig

lovin it so far so good really wanna know where tess got her dress from its stunning and i want it too plz tell me where its from x

Alesha and Bruno saving the 11 paddle for later.



Goldie good performing. Went a bit wrong, but need to perform outwards it was all directed at Kristina.

Bruno, never mind seeing that move, you were DOING that move all through the 80s!

3 seems terrible but it did deserve less than Felicity!

G & K looked liked he loved that dance but shame he lost the timing. Could do more but only first week so am expecting more from him in weeks to come. More basic steps. I agree too many body rolls. yep 5/6 is about right in my eyes

He'll cut down on the fun in training when it starts to matter to him, like Flick he has potential

A bit less of Brucie's jokes and more dancing action please!!!

Patsy had a lot of promise in the training video.

I've worked with Patsy a couple of times suppose I should give a little bit extra supoort cos of that.

Ooooo! sparkles.

Cant wait for it to be on Saturdays and Sundays

awful dress!

go patsy your good

Patsy looks very tense,

She looked like a rabbit frightened in car headlights

Well said Len

Started well but went a bit wrong in the middle. She shouldn't have burst out laughing though. You could see Robin leading.



See Craig wouldn't understand the benefits of sticking your bottom out as a woman.

Thank God for Uncle Len, Patsy Ignore Craig & listen to Len!

I thought she started well but wobbled half way through.



Lovely dress.



I would've preferred Robin in a jacket.

Bring the message boards back!

Takes too long to scroll through!!

Not brilliant Patsy, but I think she will get better as she loses her nerves more

please someone tell me who sang the song "i aint never loved a man, the way i love you"!!it was the dance with scott....

P & R she didnt look happy doing that. Oh thoses arms lol. Maybe could get better????? Needs to relax more. Good comments thou. Maybe a little vodka before hand P lol

Ooooh Matt Baker.



Yum!

Aliona was the biggest show-off in SCD last year, hope someone's had a word.

I totally agree with you Utopian - you have to keep hitting refresh button to keep up

should refresh back at your last comment Utopian, so should only need to scroll through the messages others posted since your last one

He is comparing his dance partner to a sheep!!!???

Just dont try to shear her

what on earth is going on back stage. Who let poor Patsy come out with half her hair falling down and a dress that didn't fit and trailed the floor. The poor girl would have been nervous enough with that.

Go Matt Go

Now we haven't seen this look on strictly before!

I hope this Matt Baker guy is good. Definitely want to see more of Aliona Vilani this year. She deserves better after that dragging that Crimewatch guy around the dancefloor last year.

If you're going for acrobatic and inpact you better not slip afterwa.....oh dear

wow go matt, my gran might have just had a heart attack. He's her fav.

Matt Baker - Oh Yes!

knew he wouldn't dissapoint.

A bit plonky with the legs Matt, but great attack
