Zoe Ball to present "Takes Two"

Oh dear...Jason on ITT this week..(Thurs mainly)

He droned. That's the only word for it. Droned. On and on and on he droned. Then Kristina starting getting on the act and droned through an Oscar-worthy speech... I honestly had to leave the room....

It's such a shame, because I reckon they will undoubtedly perform the show-dance most pleasing to me. But I just won't be able to bring myself to pick up the phone for him because instead of the dialling tone I'll just hear Jason drone......

Watching ITT on Friday I realised that I don't miss Claudia at all. When it was announced that Zoe was doing ITT I wasn't keen at all. I never listen to her radio show as I can't get used to the breathy style and was sure that she would be the downfall of ITT.

How wrong was I!! Yes, the first few weeks were a bit frantic - but that was not all her fault. With so many couples in the show things always seem rushed then. But as time went on she got into her stride and seemed to get more out of her interviewees. Loved her weekly slot with Ian, maybe helped that they danced together. We saw more of the costumes - before AND after the show and some of the Friday panel guests were great (others, thankfully, forgettable.)

Yes, there were things that I did not like - pro's in silly costumes, which pro am I talking about, silly VTs, phone line etc etc. But I blame the producers for these ideas!

Anyway, I hope that the producers ask her back for ITT next year. Sorry Claudia!!

Well maybe both Claudia and Zoe do ITT? I just didn't get into ITT this year and please please no more of the muppet red button nonsense!!!!

According to DS

Zoe to present ITT for 2012 and Claudia the result show with Tess

I didn't watch ITT last year towards the end I did Zoe has her own style ( not my favourite yet!)
so it makes sense a second year chance. What about B.rucie a cameo appearence

Sax

Zoe really won me round on ITT last year, glad she's back.

Less glad if they're persisting with a sunday results show, I'd much rather have a shorter live results show on Saturday night.

I agree go back to original format results later on the Saturday after news.Agree could just be a quick ok ok who's staying & who leaves.Make Monday ITT a longer show & can see highlights of couple.The sham of pretend live Sunday has to stop.

Sax

When will ITT start this year? Will they do a ITT after the launch show to wet our appretites?

Sax

I wonder if "dad" will be Zoes first guest!!

Sax

Watching his interview on the beeb's website tonight, I was amazed that I had never noticed before how alike they are. Their mannerisms, the funny grimacy-smile - all identical. I wonder if this means he'll be surprisingly good? Is this the first time we have had related celebs?

Apart from the professional dancers the only related pairings have been Gabby & Kenny Logan!!
Why I would have loved the Brownlee Brothers taking part!!

Sax

When does ITT start? Would be lovely to have say a twice weekly update on the couples training & budding chemistry on ITT before the main show.The Beeb again miss the opportunity to promote the show.

Sax

I know, it's a bit of a limbo at the moment isn't it. I guess twitter people can follow progress, but a few ITTs would be welcome too.
I've noticed the main show trailers say it's broadcast 5th and 6th Oct - can't remember the format last year, but does that mean half dance on the friday and half on the saturday?

Ive forgotten! It could be half the couples dance & 1 goes first week & 2nd week the other 7 dance & 1leaves.Friday be the dancing & Saturday the vote off & we see the other 7 perform a group dance i think!!
Its like being sleeping beauties dormant until the SCD ball spins!!

Im not a demanding female however Come on BBC get ones finger out & push the ON Button for ITT to start MONDAY 1st we get to see all the couples interviewed,the dresses,the music choices!! Team names! I vant ITT NOW!! Stop pussy footing around waiting & Action cue Zoe!!

Sax

No sign of ITT in next week's TV mag. Maybe it starts on first week of Strictly?

Most likely the BeeB will broadcast ITT from the 8th.They always manage to miss an opportunity to entice old & new fans to the show by pre show launch ITT.The X Factor manage to promote with auditions etc before increasing viewing figures!! When will dear Auntie BeeB realise this??

Sax

Ive been patient Auntie Beeb however get ones finger out & at least give us a Thursday night ITT!!
Let us have charming Ian again & C.raigs expert critique about the training!! The Friday night Panel I suggest our forum represented!! More guests & a. Family each Saturday scoring & revealing on Monday's show!!

Love to see Pauline Quirke back on a regular spot¡!!

So shake the duster & let loose Zoe Ball

Sax

Will the first couple interviewed be "dad" & Iveta & Aliona? Love see rapport between father & daughter!!

Sax

Apart from the horrible dream story & sight Russell Grant I loved tonights show!!A lovely insight with the hidden camera on Darcey's crush re Louis' dance the lick of the lips In training Louis' cheeky character shone through! Love C.raig as always his comments & energy on ITT.Jerry advising lots ok walking next week in her dance .

Sax

C.R.H is a terrific actor to change from his normal persona to the wicked witch of the west he becomes on the show. Great personalty and a very likeable man.
