Strictly Speaking - Strictly 2020 Has Launched! - The Review

Strictly Come Dancing has arrived back onto our screens at last, and not a moment too soon. Here to add some cheer to the remainder of 2020 is the nation’s favourite entertainment show - the glitz, the glamour, the fun and the drama! Few people have more of an insight into what it takes to make the show than Kevin, but for the first time in a long time, he’s able to step outside of the creative bubble and enjoy the show as part of the audience. In this week’s show, Kevin talks you through the highs, the lows, the surprises and the stand-out moments that made 2020’s launch show so successful! KEY TAKEAWAYS This year’s show has seen some reinvention in the wake of the pandemic, but the producers, celebrities and professionals have handled the changes admirably, providing a true sense of continuity. One of the main talking points this year has been the first same-sex couple, but despite the small corner of outrage on social media, the dance is what matters. Why should physiology count when two humans dance with one another? People assume that people with theatrical or dramatic experience have some kind of advantage over other competitors, but this isn’t the case. The best thing to do is to be honest about what you can do, and own it. It is hardly surprising that so many celebrities wish to appear on the show. After being pigeonholed as one thing, they are free to express themselves in entirely new way, and so open up a whole new world of possibilities. BEST MOMENTS ‘I want to celebrate everyone that works on the show’ - 4:48 ‘It immediately just felt like Strictly - it just put us in that magical place’ - 11:10 ‘We’ve all got our predictions and I often get it wrong!’ - 24:54 ‘You see a different person.
