thedailyecho--2020-11-07--Strictly Come Dancing 2020: Will there be a live studio audience?

BBC One 's Strictly Come Dancing will film without a live studio audience from this Saturday ( November 7 ) as England enters a second nationwide lockdown .
What will happen to Strictly this week ?
The flagship entertainment show will go ahead with its movie week episode on Saturday but without a socially distanced audience cheering on the celebrity contestants and their professional partners .
The show has managed to carry on filming in compliance with Covid-19 guidelines as the couples have formed bubbles so they can rehearse and perform safely .
What has Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ross Show : “ They ’ re treated as one family if you like , they come together in that way .
“ The couples want to high five each other , they can ’ t , they have to remain completely separate .
“ Of course , with the new lockdown there is no audience , so it ’ s quite difficult actually .
It ’ s just a new way of entertainment and looking at things.
” However , Revel Horwood said it is “ fantastic ” that the show has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him to maintain his authority , adding : “ The judges are further apart .
We don ’ t get to communicate like we used to.
” Addressing fellow judge Motsi Mabuse , he said : “ I mean I have no clue what is actually coming out of your mouth – I never have – but you are a long way away .
“ We ’ re also very segregated .
Only one person on a stairwell… we don ’ t get to meet anyone .
“ Normally I would meet and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t go near them .
It ’ s a good excuse really to maintain my character of authority .
“ I quite like it actually , the seas part as I walk down the stairs , and it ’ s nothing to do with my breath.
” Revel Horwood said restrictions will also affect the so-called “ Strictly curse ” on relationships , saying : “ That ’ s going to be very difficult this year isn ’ t it ?
They ’ re still not allowed to go to each other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not sharing a house .
“ There was never a curse in the first place , let ’ s be honest .
There was a blessing .
“ I ’ ve been waiting for the curse to happen to me , but it had to happen on Tinder .
I sit there on my judging desk hoping maybe someone would come up to me.
” The judges also addressed the inclusion of the first same-sex couple this year , with Olympic boxer Nicola Adams dancing with Katya Jones .
Mabuse said : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For me , let me say I think it ’ s about time that we ’ ve got some inclusiveness in the show .
“ They ’ re having fun and dancing is dancing…if she [ Nicola ] doesn ’ t straighten her knees it doesn ’ t matter what she likes , or what she doesn ’ t like , she needs to straighten her knees in cha-cha.
” Revel Horwood added : “ It ’ s fantastic .
I ’ ve been waving this flag for five years , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on there .
A lot of people are averse to it .
“ People dance together , you just have to decide who is going backward at any one time .

What will happen to Strictly this week?
The flagship entertainment show will go ahead with its movie week episode on Saturday but without a socially distanced audience cheering on the celebrity contestants and their professional partners.
The show has managed to carry on filming in compliance with Covid-19 guidelines as the couples have formed bubbles so they can rehearse and perform safely.
What has Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood said?
Revel Horwood told The Jonathan Ross Show: “They’re treated as one family if you like, they come together in that way.
“The couples want to high five each other, they can’t, they have to remain completely separate.
“Of course, with the new lockdown there is no audience, so it’s quite difficult actually. It’s just a new way of entertainment and looking at things.”
However, Revel Horwood said it is “fantastic” that the show has gone ahead and that social distancing allows him to maintain his authority, adding: “The judges are further apart. We don’t get to communicate like we used to.”
Addressing fellow judge Motsi Mabuse, he said: “I mean I have no clue what is actually coming out of your mouth – I never have – but you are a long way away.
“We’re also very segregated. Only one person on a stairwell… we don’t get to meet anyone.
“Normally I would meet and greet some of the celebs… I don’t go near them. It’s a good excuse really to maintain my character of authority.
“I quite like it actually, the seas part as I walk down the stairs, and it’s nothing to do with my breath.”
Revel Horwood said restrictions will also affect the so-called “Strictly curse” on relationships, saying: “That’s going to be very difficult this year isn’t it? They’re still not allowed to go to each other’s houses. You’re not sharing a house.
“There was never a curse in the first place, let’s be honest. There was a blessing.
“I’ve been waiting for the curse to happen to me, but it had to happen on Tinder. I sit there on my judging desk hoping maybe someone would come up to me.”
The judges also addressed the inclusion of the first same-sex couple this year, with Olympic boxer Nicola Adams dancing with Katya Jones.
Mabuse said: “I wouldn’t judge them differently. For me, let me say I think it’s about time that we’ve got some inclusiveness in the show.
“They’re having fun and dancing is dancing…if she [Nicola] doesn’t straighten her knees it doesn’t matter what she likes, or what she doesn’t like, she needs to straighten her knees in cha-cha.”
Revel Horwood added: “It’s fantastic. I’ve been waving this flag for five years, I really have tried to get same-sex couples on there. A lot of people are averse to it.
“People dance together, you just have to decide who is going backward at any one time.
“There was that huge furore as well when two pro boys danced together – all these huge complaints apparently – which was absolutely ridiculous. It’s about time and I think it’s absolutely brilliant, I really do.”

For now there will be no live studio audience for Strictly. As for later in the series, it remains unclear if a live studio audience will return after England's national lockdown ends on December 2.

A sporting challenge conquered by only 89 sailors in history, the Vendée Globe sees skippers push their minds and bodies to the absolute limits onboard custom-built racing yachts, designed to withstand the world’s toughest oceans and volatile weather systems.
Thomson today set off onboard his HUGO BOSS boat from the seaside town of Les Sables-d’Olonne in France and he could now go more than 70 days without seeing another human.
Prior to setting off, he said: “There is no other sporting challenge like it.
“For me, the Vendée Globe is the absolute pinnacle of sporting endeavour. No other sport pushes you so hard, over such a long period, in an environment where you are so out of reach from civilisation with only yourself to rely on”.
This will be Thomson’s fifth attempt at winning the race, which remains the ultimate prize in a sport dominated by the French.
Having finished the last two editions of the race, which takes place every four years, in third and second place, the 46-year-old, father-of-two, from Gosport finds himself as one of the favourites this time around.
He added: “Third, second…there’s only really one place to go, isn’t there? So yes, absolutely we want to win it.
"It would be the culmination of the past 20 years of my career and certainly a huge moment for our team and for HUGO BOSS, who have showed immense loyalty as our Title Partner for more than 17 years.

But this race is a marathon and not a sprint, and we need to do all we can to make sure that we strike the right balance and make the right decisions so that I get to the finish line. And if we can do that, I think we should be in contention for the win."
Together with 32 other skippers, Thomson began the race ‘behind closed doors’ after France’s national confinement measures prevented the hundreds of thousands of spectators - who normally line the streets surrounding the race village - from experiencing the spectacle.
“It’s a strange feeling to be here without thousands of people waving their banners, cheering and shouting," said Thomson. "But this race was designed to be consumed via the internet and from the moment I leave, I’m going to do everything I can to give people something to smile about. I’m going to entertain them from the middle of the ocean. I think, knowing that everyone is watching so closely, that will give me an extra bit of motivation onboard when times get tough."
Together with their Technology Partner, Nokia Bell Labs, Thomson and his team have installed an array of nine cameras across the boat, enabling the skipper to record and stream content for fans from the middle of the ocean
For the very first time, fans will also be able to view health data, including Thomson’s sleep patterns, activity levels, calories burned and heart rate.
In 2016, Thomson’s hopes of Vendée Globe victory were dashed when, just 11 days into the race, he suffered a breakage to the hydrofoil of his boat.
Despite the major setback, the Brit managed to continue in the race, hunting down victory until the final stages and finishing the race less than 24 hours behind the winner, Armel Le Cléac'h.
With a British record under his belt - 74 days, 19 hours and 35 minutes around the world – Thomson immediately set his sights on the 2020.
