With their costumes ready and shoes polished, the ballroom eagerly awaits this year's celebs who will all be hoping they have what it takes to impress the judges and viewers at home.
Even though their performances will be critiqued and scored by judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse, they will all escape the public vote until next weekend when the first couple will leave the competition.

Stripped across the week, The Sister follows Nathan who seems to have it all, a loving wife, a beautiful home and a solid, if unexciting, career. But Nathan has never been able to forget the worst night of his life, a party that led to the sudden, shocking death of a young woman... the sister of the woman who is now his wife!
Only he and Bob, an eccentric old acquaintance, know what really happened and they’ve resolved to keep it that way. Until one rainy evening, years later, when Bob appears at Nathan’s door with terrifying news, they’re digging up the woods.

6. Damilola: The Boy Next Door
Wednesday 28th October at 9pm on Channel 4
20 years ago, radio DJ, presenter and writer Yinka Bokinni, grew up on the North Peckham Estate in South London which became notorious after 10-year-old Damilola Taylor was stabbed and left alone to die in a lonely stairwell.
Within months, the entire estate had been bulldozed and all the residents resettled, with Peckham demonised as a 'no-go area' riddled with drugs, gangs and violence. But Yinka remembers an idyllic childhood, surrounded by a loving family and friends in a tight-knit community. And the boy they all called 'Dami' was her friend.
Now, aged 30, Yinka is marking the 20th anniversary of Damilola's death by confronting for the very first time, the devastating impact her friend's death had on her community and the lives of almost everyone she knew,. She discovers that she is not alone in having grown up never mentioning Damilola, or even wanting to admit that she is from Peckham.
She attempts to reconcile two versions of her past: the warm, loving and happy community she remembers so fondly that was presented in the media as a crime-ridden 'sink estate' blamed for the tragic loss of a young life.
In a moving and reflective film that explores loss and trauma, Yinka also meets childhood friends and local kids who grew up to do amazing things, such as Ashley Walters, Cornelius Walker and music producer Tinyman, who was the last to see Damilola on the day he died.

7. Truth Seekers
Friday 30th October on Amazon Prime Video
Originally due to launch earlier this year, Amazon's Truth Seekers has (in my opinion) benefited from being pushed back to October as it's the perfect binge watch for Halloween.
The new paranormal comedy series stars Nick Frost as Gus, Simon Pegg as Dave and Malcolm McDowell, Samson Kayo, Susan Wokoma and Emma D’Arcy as a team of part-time paranormal investigators. Together they team up to uncover and film ghost sightings across the UK, sharing their adventures on an online channel for all to see.
However, as they stake out haunted churches, underground bunkers and abandoned hospitals with their array of homemade ghost-detecting gizmos, their supernatural experiences grow more frequent, more terrifying and even deadly, as they begin to uncover a conspiracy that could bring about Armageddon for the entire human race.
