It's autumn, so it must be Strictly Come Dancing time.

It all kicks of this saturday, and, Vicky Pendleton is to be one of the celebrities, worth watching just to see her all glammed up.

seeing VP is the only possible reason I can think of to watch that sort of rubbish, but personally I dont think its a good enough reason

Feel free to substitute dancing on ice, i'm a celebrity, x factor, BGT etc etc for SCD

I'm putting my money on Olympic Gymnast Lewis Smith. I got the 2 finalists correct last year. The only thing is that it might clash with X Factor.

But I think that is the plan to clash with the X Factor.. from what I have read..

Strictly is one of the few BBC programmes where we have gravitated to recording it rather than watching it live so that we can zoom over the bits we don't want to watch and just see the dancing and scoring. We'll probably end up watching it again this year, and as ever, someone in the family (not sure whose turn it is this year) will say: "Crikey! Do you realise by the time this series finishes it will be Christmas!?"

The love of my life AND Johnny Ball. All other TV should just give up right now.

Although not getting Denise Van Outen - she's been in musicals since she was about 6 - of course she's had dance training!

VIKKY PENDLETON to dance?

Woooohoooo.......!

It's never a level playing field in Strictly though. Take Chelsee Healey last year - she was trying to do Strictly and hold down a full time job, whereas there were others who could devote all their time to training because they had nothing else on. I think on each series there are probably only 3 or 4 potential winners - with the rest it's just a case of what order they go out and how much mileage they can get from them along the way. Looking forward to this years show.

And another thing.... THERE'S NO KATYA THIS YEAR
