Roar of the greasepaint next time

Thanks for watching along with me, glittery gang. Our famous five now dance into the quarter-final, the last themed show of the series - yes, it’s Musicals Week, with routines inspired by West End and Broadway hits. Raid that fancy dress box and unleash those jazzhands.

It airs next Saturday at 7.25pm on BBC1. Meet you back here to decide who’s a long-running hit and who’s a box office bomb. In the meantime, you barely need me to tell you: keeeeep dancing! Thank you and a glittery goodnight.

Tonight’s TV tips

Viewers can now flip to Lidl vs Fortnum & Mason: Who Does Christmas Best? on Channel 5 or the final of Handmade: Britain’s Best Woodworker on Channel 4.

At 9pm, there’s Boat Story on BBC1, I’m A Celebrity on ITV1, The Year The Thames Flooded on Channel 5 or outrageous Cold War football doc Stasi FC on Sky Documentaries.

Film-wise, Bond film No Time to Die is just starting on ITV2, as is festive romcom The Holiday on 5Star. At 10pm, Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game is on BBC2. Cumberbatch fans assemble.
