Tonight’s Strictly start time will be around 7 PM, give or take a rugby match or a late-running news bulletin. Double-check the BBC schedule if you’re a stickler for precision. But honestly, just pour a glass of wine, get your snacks ready, and park yourself on the sofa. Life is short—watch people in sequins spin.
And if you do miss the first few minutes? Don’t panic. You’ll still catch the opening dance number, which is always a glorious mess of feathers and misplaced trust. By the time the second couple dances, you’ll be fully invested.
