Strictly Come Dancing is back, and with it the first hints that the winter season is upon us.
The BBC dance competition has returned for a full-length series, having aired for a shorter run of episodes last year due to the pandemic. Fifteen couples are taking part this time around, rather than last year’s 12.
However, the show won’t travel to Blackpool for the second consecutive year, as social distancing is not possible in the backstage area.
Like previous seasons, the main Strictly show is broadcast on Saturday night, with a shorter results show airing on Sunday.
But what times are both episodes on this weekend?
Tomorrow (7 October) night’s results show will kick off at 7.15pm and come to a close at 8pm, when the next couple will be eliminated from the competition.
Tonight’s results show episode (6 October) began at 6.45pm and finished at 8.10pm.
Frustratingly, the BBC’s schedules mean that Strictly’s timeslot tends to differ slightly from week to week. Next Saturday (13 November), for instance, the main show begins at 6.40pm. Next Sunday’s results show (14 November) will begin at 7.20pm.
