Harry will find it a bit strange standing in the middle of the arena instead of behind his drumkit but as always will give a great performance.

I would''ve liked to hear about the dance floor being fitted, and more technical things to do with the actual dancing and putting the show on stage at the venue.
Why do presenters always turn into Blue Peter/kid's TV mode? Most website readers here are adults.

Enjoyed Russell but it's really time for him to go!
Could be Harry to win this year? What do people think?
First year on the blog for me - can't do the "real time" chat as I'm too busy scoring the dancing and texting!!! Nonetheless, I am enjoying catching up on the Sundays!!!

Because the BBC says it should be so.
We may not agree with the BBC, but our opinion doesn't count.
Fellow poster sees me as conspirator for criticising the BBC.
Sorry, didn't realise we we're all supposed to be fawning over Chelseeeeeeeeeee
1330 but some of us live in a grown up world.
Some of us don't.

Did anyone see Dancing with the stars last week when they were all doing the jive, straight old fashioned jive, with no theatricals! That's what I call jiving, and to proper music as well. Its a pity our lot did not do the same!!!!!!!!!

Agree a longer routine would be better for the larger space.

I missed the intimacy of the studio and felt as if I'd inadvertantly switched over to the XFactory. The constant cheering, the galloping round an enormous stage in an effort to cover the space, the echo from the microphones, the crowd pleasing comments from the judges - dire. I don't feel any of the celebreties showed themselves at their best in that environment. Pleeeeease - let's return to Blackpool next season.
