    Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two

    Of all the companion spin-off programmes to reality contests 'It Takes Two' seems to have come out the winner, being good fun and informative.

    A great way to get your 'Strictly' fix throughout the week.

    • Trivia
      Commonly shortened to "Strictly: It Takes Two", this more light-hearted behind the scenes companion series takes its title from the well-known phrase "It takes two to Tango". This works on several levels with tongue in cheek implied innuendo between the couples learning the dances, it is the "other" daily Strictly show running concurrently with the weekend "Strictly", and a rather bad pun with it being shown on BBC 2, with main "Strictly" being on BBC 1.
