STRICTLY COME
DANCING
Strictly Come Dancing is a British television show, featuring
celebrities with professional dance partners competing in Ballroom and
Latin
dances. The title of the show suggests a continuation of the
long-running series Come Dancing, with an allusion to the film Strictly
Ballroom. The format
has been exported to 32 other countries (see Dancing with the Stars),
and has also inspired a modern-dance themed spin-off Strictly Dance
Fever.
The show has run on BBC One since 15 May 2004, primarily on Saturday
evenings. The eighth series ended on 18 December 2010. A further seven
stand-alone Christmas Specials have also been produced, in consecutive
years from 2004 to 2010. The show has also done 5 charity specials.
The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom
dancers who each week compete against each other in a competition to
impress a
panel of judges and the viewing public in order to survive potential
elimination. Through telephone voting, viewers vote whom they would like
to stay, the
results of the poll being combined with the ranking of the panel of
judges. For example, with four contestants left, the judges' favourite
would
receive four points, second favourite three points, and so on, and
similarly with the viewers' rankings.[3] The profits from the telephone
lines were
donated to Sport Relief in series 1, and to Children in Need from series
2 to 5.
The show is broadcast live on BBC One on Saturday evenings, and it is
presented by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. For some of the second series,
Natasha
Kaplinsky stood in temporarily for Tess Daly while she took maternity
leave. The judging panel consists of Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon, Len
Goodman and
Craig Revel Horwood. Goodman and Tonioli commute weekly between
Hollywood and London to judge both the American and British versions of
the show simultaneously. Each judge gives the performance a mark out of
ten, giving an overall total out of forty. The voice-over announcer is
Alan
Dedicoat. During series four, an hour-long highlight show was shown on
Sundays at 7 pm on BBC Two, and during series five and six, the results
show
moved to Sunday evenings, although it was filmed on Saturday and then
broadcast "as live" on the Sunday.
The singers on the show are Tommy Blaize, Hayley Sanderson, Lance
Ellington and Andrea Grant. The music director is David Arch. Tommy
Blaize has
been part of Strictly since its beginning. In Series 3, Lance Ellington
and Andrea Grant joined the singing team. David Arch joined in the
fourth series and
Hayley Sanderson in the fifth.
The show is broadcast from a specially constructed set at the BBC
Television Centre. However, in the first two series, shows were also
filmed at the Tower
Ballroom in Blackpool, where the original Come Dancing series was filmed
in the 1970s. The BBC has confirmed that Strictly Come Dancing
will
return to Blackpool for the 2010 series
