"Strictly Come Dancing" Series 2:

BBC1's Hit show "Strictly Come Dancing" is back for a 2nd series. The series will begin on BBC1 prime time, saturday night 23rd October 2004. The show will be run in the same format as series 1, except this time there will be 10 couples (instead of 8 in series 1).
Bruce Forsythe & Natasha Kaplinsky will present the BBC 1 Saturday night programme with Tess Daly joining later in the series (after the birth of her child).
BBC2 takes over the old BBC3 "Behind the scenes" programme. The new show is called "Strictly Come Dancing - It takes two" and the presenter is Claudia Winkleman. This show will air every week night (once the series commences) at 6.30pm.
All other aspects of the show remain the same, including the phone in voting and the judges.

The winners of the 2nd Strictly Come Dancing Series Are Jill Halfpenny & Darren Bennett
