*Strictly Come Dancing Ratings Thread*

[Will.]

Thought we could have a ratings thread, this is the first series I will be watching.

What do we think for tonight?

[Pete.]

The opening episode of Strictly Come Dancing was watched by 8.7 million people on Saturday night, up from 8.4 million last year.

The most-watched launch in the show's history, it beat ITV's X Factor, which attracted an average audience of 7.5 million later in the evening.
