Strictly Come Dancing is shaking up its annual movie week this year, with all celebrity contestants set to dance to a classic film soundtrack for the first time in the show's history, according to the Guardian's television picks for Friday evening.
The format change marks a departure from previous movie-week editions of the long-running dance competition, in which contestants have typically performed to a broader mix of film-related music rather than a uniform theme built entirely around classic soundtracks.
Also on tonight
Elsewhere in the evening's schedule, actress Lesley Manville features in a comic murder mystery, offering a lighter, humor-driven take on the genre as one of the night's other recommended programs.
The programming guide, airing on BBC One from 6:15pm, forms part of the Guardian's regular daily rundown of television highlights, aimed at helping viewers navigate the evening's broadcast options across the main channels.
No further details on the specific soundtrack choices for Strictly's movie week, or the plot of the murder mystery featuring Manville, were included in the available listing information.
