About Strictly Come Dancing

Strictly pairs celebrities with pros for ballroom votes with Saturday live and Sunday results. Series 1 runs May to July 2004 with 8 celebs and Kaplinsky winning, series 2 runs October to December 2004 as the only year with two runs. Series move to autumn slots with 10 to 15 celebs each year through 2026.

Series 18 shortened in 2020 for COVID with Bill Bailey winning. Series 22 has Chris McCausland as first blind winner in 2024 with 25 episodes. Series 23 has Karen Carney winning in 2025 as last run for Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. Series 24 brings Emma Willis with Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe from 2026. Christmas specials sit outside series counts.

Good to know

Watch series 1 through 24 in numeric order. Start with 2004 Kaplinsky, continue through Dixon, Bailey, Ayling-Ellis and McCausland years, then finish Carney 2025 and the 2026 new host run. Judges shift from Len Goodman to Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke along the way. New casts each autumn mean no story carries over. Keep 1 to 24 for the 490.
