Strictly Come Dancing's live shows kicked off with a bang last night, but there are still nine celebrities nervously waiting to perform. Who'll show that they're one to watch... and who'll be one that we can't bear to watch?
We're excited to find out, so join us from 6.15pm when the show begins as we bring you all the action from the Strictly ballroom.
19:43But that's it for this weekend of Strictly action! Thanks for joining us - and remember to leave your comments so we know what you make of the celebs so far... Bye!
19:43But of course that leaderboard could change next week, as these scores will be added to those scores - and then someone will go home. Cripes!
19:42Right, so top of the leaderboard at the moment is Peter with 30, followed by Helen at 29. But Carol is at the bottom with 16. We Love You,...

BBC Proms have asked the public to record themselves singing 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' from Mary Poppins.
The stunt is to create the first ever Last Night of the Proms virtual choir in celebration of the Disney classic being 50 years old.
To take part, people need to record a video of themselves singing the hit song and send it to the BBC Proms using the details provided on the BBC website by Sunday, August 31.
Videos can be recorded on computers, smartphones or tablets and can be sung individually or in groups. People are also being encouraged to be as creative as possible.
The videos will then be edited together to create a virtual choir and the finished results will be revealed online and in the Parks around the UK during the Last Night of the Proms on Saturday, September 13.

Danny Boyle has been doing a lot of listening, but it is crucial his integrity of vision is allowed to remain unsullied
What is an Olympic opening ceremony? Something between a pageant, a procession, a theatre show, a concert and a film. It contains diplomacy, politics, flag-waving (literally), sport and art. None of these are easy bedfellows, but one feels that in Danny Boyle's confident hands, the London Games curtain-raiser has a strong chance of melding those disparate elements into something intimate as well as spectacular, edgy as well as celebratory, funny as well as grand. It may even be moving.
If the bucolic vision of rolling hills, a cricket match, 70 sheep, horses, ducks, cows and actual ploughing that Boyle has unveiled seems a little English and pastoral, rather than British and urban, I predict that surprises will be in store. From this opening scene – intended to invoke a...

Director Danny Boyle reveals plans for London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, including village cricket, maypoles and rain
• Tell us how you think the opening ceremony might look
A village cricket team, 12 horses, 10 chickens, 70 sheep, a model of Glastonbury Tor, two mosh pits, and the largest harmonically tuned bell in the world are among the sights that will greet the world when the curtain comes up on the London Olympics, it has been revealed.
The surreal vista of a "green and pleasant land", with giant maypoles representing the symbols of the four nations of the UK around which children will dance, is the scene for the opening sequence of Danny Boyle's £27m opening ceremony extravaganza.
The director has ignored the age-old maxim about never working with children or animals. The opening scene features real grass, real ploughs, real soil and – said Boyle – real clouds that would supply "rain" if there was...

The opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics in London will feature the parade of nations, a fireworks display ... and a flock of sheep.
That's the word from Danny Boyle, the "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Trainspotting" director who is serving as artistic director for the opening ceremony on July 27. The opening tableau will be called "Green and Pleasant" and will present "a picture of ourselves as a nation," Boyle tells the BBC.
That picture includes a set that will depict pastoral scenes such as families picnicking, people playing sports on the village green and farmers working their land, including a menagerie of 70 sheep, a dozen horses, 10 chickens and sundry cows, ducks, goats and sheepdogs. The scene will also feature a pair of mosh pits representing the Glastonbury rock festival and the more genteel Last Night of the Proms concert. Fake clouds will be suspended from wires at the top of Olympic Stadium, one...

Last month, "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle said that the opening ceremony for this summer's Olympic games in London would be inspired by the classic monster story "Frankenstein." And it certainly seems to be shaping up into something stitched together from various disparate elements. Boyle -- who's serving as artistic director for the ceremony -- revealed this week that the Olympic Stadium will be transformed into the "British countryside" for the opening scene, complete with meadows, two mosh pits representing the Glastonbury festival and the Last Night of the Proms, and...

Danny Boyle has revealed his surreal vision for the opening ceremony. Now we want you to send us your interpretations
Danny Boyle has revealed his vision for the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, and it sounds both ambitious and surreal. Starting with a pastoral "green and pleasant land" featuring a village cricket team alongside a working farm and rural vistas, the extravaganza is expected to develop into a more urban vision, reflecting the development of the nation.
Boyle, whose vision is inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, impishly claims the ceremony will also feature real clouds that would supply "rain" if there was none in order to ensure a traditionally British atmosphere. A replica of Glastonbury Tor stands at one end of the arena, with "mosh pits" at either end of the arena, one reflecting a festival crowd, the other said to invoke the atmosphere of Last Night of the Proms.

Australia
The number of free-to-air channels in Australia has tripled in just over a year, with 15 digital terrestrial channels now on air here. As each new channel targets a specific demographic, audiences are fragmenting quickly and broadcasters are looking for big event franchises to follow the success of "MasterChef Australia" in drawing mass audiences to their main channels. Pay TV executives say its incumbent on them to sell the superior technology benefits and find more exclusive programming to their customers, as pay TV subscriptions plateau at 33% penetration in the face of the new competition. -- Pip Bulbeck
Canada
The new battleground in Canadian primetime is comedy, but it's no laughing matter. Top-rated network CTV has piggy-backed on CBS' new Thursday comedy block with the geek-friendly "The Big Bang Theory" at 8 p.m., followed in October by the William Shatner comedy "$#*! My Dad Says," going up against rival Citytv's NBC comedy lineup of "Community" and "30 Rock.
