Qatar World Cup causes Strictly shows to be moved for next two weeks

The forthcoming episodes of Strictly Come Dancing are to have a big shake-up due to the Qatar World Cup.

Normally, the popular BBC programme is aired on a Saturday night, with the results show shown the following evening. However, because the BBC will be showing World Cup matches during those days, both the quarter and semi-finals of Strictly have been moved.

The former - which is a musicals special - will be shown at 8pm on Friday night on BBC One (December 2), with the results show at 5.40pm the following evening (December 3). A last-16 World Cup knock-out game between the winner of Group C and the runner-up of Group D will then be broadcast at 6.20pm.
