Promos now updated with the start “next Sunday” (is that a bit confusing being a Sunday and today is the preceding Friday - isn’t ‘Sunday week’ more correct?)

Same for the promo watermarks, which TVCynic uploaded in another thread.

They’ve also added a Logies “vote” graphic on the promos.

I think July June is more confusing

Former Special Forces solider Ant Middleton is swapping grenades for glitter as he takes to the ballroom on Dancing With The Stars, premiering 7.00pm Sunday on Channel 7 and 7plus.

Known as SAS Australia’s Chief Instructor, Ant’s signature no-mercy demeanour has made him a much-loved master of extreme adventure and a true leader of operating with a positive mindset.

Pushing himself outside his comfort zone, Ant will be put through his paces by professional dancer Alex Vladimirov in hope of winning the Mirror Ball Trophy

Notorious for pushing his recruits to their limits, how will Ant handle his latest challenge: mastering the art of dance?

Over the last few seasons, we have seen the 12 contestants split into two for a few rounds. How were we able to see the top 12 compete against each other for the opening two weeks, in the first 10 seasons or so without an issue?

Have they always used the Strictly Come Dancing music?

No elimination on tonight’s season premiere or next week’s episode 2.

The couples who were not dancing, would be in the audience, rather than on the upstairs skybox as happened in the past few seasons.

Strong start.
Sonia on the floor as host and Chris up with the dancers interviewing. Hope we still get lots of chances for Sonia’s cheeky humour and one liners.
