Strictly Come Dancing fans were feeling emotional as they watched a joyful and unusual start to Saturday night's live show. In a change from the usual proceedings the show started with an uplifting montage for the BBC's 100th anniversary.
As the celeb contestants prepared to take to the dancefloor to perform to a selection of the BBC's most iconic theme tunes, the professional dancers staged a treat in the form of a montage. The heart-warming opening minutes featured some of the broadcaster's most popular shows and presenters.
Newsreader Huw Edwards appeared in the introduction as if he was presenting the news, saying: "Some breaking news, Strictly Come Dancing appears to be taking over the BBC with a feast of sequins and salsas, Strictly has been celebrating the BBC's 100th birthday. But some of us are too busy to dance, we have very serious work to do."
