Olly Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Ooh! Thanks, I've been wondering who would be in this one. Edwina Currie - hmmm. Probably looks good in a floaty dress, heck what do I know, she could be a good dancer. Russell Grant - the 'John Sargent' role I reckon, will get voted in a few times for popularity but will be rubbish. Anita Dobson - reckon she'll be good. Afraid I have hardly heard of any of the rest of them (well, Lulu and Jason excepted) - I'll reserve judgement till I see them in action, but on past series the sportsmen are usually pretty good. When does it start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 No idea who half of them are, but it ought to be entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) It's an interesting lineup Edited September 7, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just saw Jason Donovan in Sound of Music, he's also done Rocky Horror amongst things, reckon he'll be good. Holly Valance had a go at a pop career after Neighbours, sure I remember her doing dance routines whilst singing. Robbie Savage is quite mouthy, so probably good entertainment. Not seen Russell Grant for years. He's Welsh though Don't usually watch it, but might make the effort. Depends what time it's on. When does it start?

chickencam Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Not sure about that lineup, then a few people that I am not too keen on, Rory Bremner & Edwina Currie, a few I don't really know and a couple of promising ones, probably how it normally is I suppose. No doubt out Saturday winter evenings will be full of Strictly and X factor, it could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have a feeling that Harry from McFly did the Christmas special. He was rather good. Interesting line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffs Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I don't watch waterloo road, and I've never heard of Russell Grant, but I'm quite impressed by the fact that I've heard of the rest of them I've applied for 2 tickets for every show, for my nana as a christmas present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweety Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 This Saturday @ 6pm - ish, the show when the celebs meet their professional partners. Not a very exciting line - up in my opinion, but I always think that at the beginning of the series and end up loving it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy ben grace Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Strictly reminds me of christmas ,the log burner going and stuffing my face with a big tin of quality street/roses!I have to say i do love the show, the line up seems ok. I have heard of most of them and have to agree with clootie about Lulu. AHHHHHGH!Will have to put the children to bed while she is on!

Griffin Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 No idea who half of them are, but it ought to be entertaining. Ditto Jason Donovan has a house nearby and Rory Bremner lives up the road from me so I hope they do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickendoodle Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Apparently this is not the official line up - it is being revealed tonight. According to my ED Robbie Savage was on Twitter yesterday saying that he was definitely not taking part. It's a really late reveal this year as it starts on Saturday! There was a long run up advertising campaign last year. Wonder if they have had trouble confirming the line up or if is just a different strategy?
