Yeah it seems a strange decision to move days when they could move strictly to bbc 2 or even bbc3 . This week Strictly is up against the Argentina v Mexico match on ITV , which ok probably won’t draw as many viewers as if England were playing , but still is going to be a clash .

We all know I’m not close friends with a calendar so is this the schedule for the next few weeks:

Saturday 26 November - 7.15 (so the planner says)
Friday 2 December - time tbc
Sunday 11 December - time tbc
Saturday 17 December (is this the final? By my calculations there will be 8 in the final? 😉)

Eh? There are currently 7 couples left in the competition

Why does Strictly have to move? Couldn’t they just put the football on BBC2?

It’s being moved because it is potentially an England(or Wales) match that will more than likely be shown on ITV (this year, ITV get first pick of the knock out round matches) … but as The knockouts are only really finalised a few days in advance to wait would mean more uncertainty for all involved.

I assume for the BBC showing Strictly against an England match on ITV is worse than moving it back a day.

(I think this year, the BBC made the decision early to sacrifice Strictly … it’s not like the potential for clashing hasn’t been known since the fixtures were announced … way back in the spring/summer people who were plotting England’s potential journey were wondering if Strictly could be brought forward by a couple of weeks to avoid it having to be bumped round the schedule).

I think the BBC made the decision to sacrifice Strictly this year very early on. The fixtures have been out for ages, and people were asking why Strictly wasn’t starting a couple of weeks early to avoid the clashing (as it turns out, with Queenie dying, that would have been just as disruptive but couldn't be foreseen … unlike the fixture list).

it seems they’ve made the decision that anything but a potential England (possibly Wales) match is fair game to be up against … which is fair enough, I suppose. Get England to the knockout stages and anything against that is going to be virtually ignored. Which for Strictly, in the later stages with a phone vote possibly isn’t good.

Bit of a shame for the celebs this year, though … the 20th series possibly deserved more than a delayed start and the loss of momentum that hoofing it round the week and schedules brings.

Ooh I suspect so! The intensity will probably destroy the set and the entirety of Elstree.

Maybe I don't have a big sense of humour but putting mustard in someone's mouth, covering them in shower gel, messing with their cars and putting other people toothbrushes in his pants(then returning it!) isn't funny at all as if we need more reasons to be put off by him 🤔🤨
All the pros didn't sound happy talking about it at all.

He also once locked Amy in a room with Katya's dog when Amy had a real fear of dogs as a hilarious prank. He sounds exhausting :rolleyes:

I am scared of birds and the thought of someone locking me in a room with one flapping about is just horrendous. I would probably have a panic attack and pass out. What a bellend

Hello to a fellow bird fretter. I get laughed at all the time for my fear if birds but jesus they scare the life out of me.

On another note: think of how many menopauses Will could reverse with an Argentine Tango.

Moving the dancing tripe will look like genius based on Argentina v Saudi thats in its dying moments as I type.... the Saudis have the Argies 2-1 - biggest upset in the WC for donkeys.
