I’ve been to a recording and the Saturday show is definitely live. They do a full run-through of the show on a Saturday afternoon before the audience comes in.Have you been to a recording then? Any idea why they always say ‘today’ not ‘tonight’?
So what time do they film the Sunday show on the Saturday evening then if they have to wait for the votes etc? Must be a bloody long day, I’m surprised they don’t get Sundays off?
It maybe wasn’t a coincidence the tour is just now…I know it’s not something you can do at the drop of a hat and the tour has probs been cancelled before due to COVID but when he was announced on The One Show, he said he’d known since Christmas he was doing Strictly.Ooh forgot completely to see what JJ had to say! Will check his comments out soon...
What p!ssed me off about Amy & Tom was their appearance at the gig/gigs...the bloody mc fly vote could keep them in longer than they deserve.
I was glad there was no vote last night , so many amazing performances, Rose is a little doll, AJ was great, John &Jojo stunning! Adam amazing ... Katie not bad. Rhys ok, Dan better than expected
Ugo, melted my heart, how did he dance
after his dads funeral..
The judgesShirley such a cow, Judi got 6 and Rose only 4...
Mr Anton Du BekeVibes of head judge about him, he looked the part, was fair and consistent....made the lemon on his right look like a sour old cow ...
It isn’t, you’re told to go to the studio for 3.45pm and that’s to be there for the Sunday night group number (it was in 2017, not now I don’t think) and the results show music act to be filmed. They do as much as they can before the Saturday night show goes live and the rest/dance off etc is filmed after - we were there until 11pm. The Saturday night show is definitely liveThe show.
I have been in the audience and can guarantee that Saturday night is live. They do get Sunday off I think - unless the pro wants them to rehearse. Everything you see on Sunday night is pre-recorded so they have no commitments to the programme on a Sunday.Have you been to a recording then? Any idea why they always say ‘today’ not ‘tonight’?

It always takes the shine off a bit for me when they've had previous dance experience. Like the ex popstars will all say they've only done basic choreo and this is totally new for them but then they're nearly always the best dancers. BUT it would be nearly impossible to get 15 celebs who've never at least been to some sort of stage school, I mean it's no accident that they're in showbiz! Plus it would be kind of boring if everyone was rubbish to begin with.I didn’t see it either and he normally does have something to say so it’s probs not the first time he’s mentioned it. And when Len was on GMB a few weeks ago he said he found the previous experience ‘worse’ than a same sex couple. I only started watching Strictly in 2009 and there’s been at least one stage school pupil/ballet dancer/other dancer per year
The show.
I’m baffled anyone thinks the Saturday show isn’t live. Mic-gate, ‘the hills are alive with the sound of bullshit’, ‘LIVE from the BBC …’, etc.I’ve been to a recording and the Saturday show is definitely live. They do a full run-through of the show on a Saturday afternoon before the audience comes in.
Filming wrapped around 10/10:30 when I went. Since the Sunday show isn’t live, the musical act was filmed before the live show. We got to have a break for drinks/toilet between the live show ending and them resuming filming for the results show with the pro dances and results being recorded.
Yes it is joyous isn't it?Oh my! How good was AJ! Just wow.
#winner.
Just love strictly, such a joyous show. Makes me smile.
How lucky to get to see Debbie’s rumba - and the absurdity of Anton and Ruth’s Samba@jfletcher when we’re you there? We were 2017 the week Simon Rimmer was dressed as Buzz Lightyear, Debbie did her rumba and Anton appeared from underneath Ruth Langford’s pink dress for their samba
‘Rebel Yell’ is hands-down the GREATEST pro dance that has ever been on the show! I love it!How lucky to get to see Debbie’s rumba - and the absurdity of Anton and Ruth’s Samba
We went back in 2007 when they first started doing the Sunday results show. We got to see the Rebel Yell jive which is one of the best pro dances the show ever did. I’ve applied for tickets every year since but I’ve never been lucky again.
Yes, he’s had pretty significant health issues in recent years. I hope it doesn’t all prove too much for himRandomly I’m also pretty such Robert Webb had major open heart surgery a couple of years ago.
Unlike Craig, Shirley just can't read the room. For the most part, Craig knows when to lay on the pantomime villain thing so it adds to the atmosphere of the show. Nearly every comment Shirley makes just sucks the atmosphere out of everything.Yes it is joyous isn't it?
I dislike Shirley intensely at the moment - she just seems actually mean rather than pantomime mean like Craig. Craig is obviously a lovely man so his previously harsh comments are just playing a part, whereas I think Shirley is just quite unpleasant. Jealous and leery
ANYWAY having said all that it is still such a good programme and constantly throws up surprises.
How much do you want to bet that if Tom makes it to Musicals week, he’ll get Back To The Future and do a jive to Johnny B Goode? Or something to The Power of Love?
It was amazing. I wish they would do more pro dances like that. It was back when the professionals used to choreograph the routines themselves. There was no theme or props, just the pros doing what they do best: dancing.‘Rebel Yell’ is hands-down the GREATEST pro dance that has ever been on the show! I love it!
You’re so lucky to have seen that up close!
The way she parades her toy boy around talking about their sex life is so tacky. She just comes across as so cheap and tasteless. She was never the right fit for Strictly imo- too self-centred.Anyway she makes the whole atmosphere change and for those couple of minutes it’s just horribly uncomfortable. Plus she’s been giving interviews again about how much sex she’s having with her toy boy and that just comes off as desperate.
Totally agree. I yearn for the glory days of the fabulous pro dances, rather than the random indistinguishable messes we get nowadays. Bloody Gilkinson!It was amazing. I wish they would do more pro dances like that. It was back when the professionals used to choreograph the routines themselves.

He could do that in movie week too, and that's always fairly early onHow much do you want to bet that if Tom makes it to Musicals week, he’ll get Back To The Future and do a jive to Johnny B Goode? Or something to The Power of Love?
I hope he does. Didn’t Lee Ryan go out on a Back To the Future dance?? Hopefully it’s cursedHe could do that in movie week too, and that's always fairly early on
