After last year's sensational final between Matt Baker and Kara Tointon, as well as the many show-stopping performances throughout the series from Pamela Stephenson, Gavin Henson, Felicity Kendal, Patsy Kensit and Scott Maslen and some unforgettable routines from the professional dancers - and Anne Widdecombe - can Strictly Come Dancing really get any better?
