Eurovision Dance Contest

Ìý

More than 50 years after the launch of the Eurovision Song Contest, a brand-new Euro-show is set to sashay into the spotlight. So, take your partners for the sequinned splendour of the very first Eurovision Dance Contest!

Ìý

The ´óÏó´«Ã½ will host this dazzling event at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Television Centre, London. The viewing public will be the judges for this spectacular competition, featuring dancing couples from 16 countries across Europe – Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and, of course, the UK.

Ìý

This major Saturday night event is presented by Graham Norton and Claudia Winkleman. Eurovision Dance Contest will see professional and amateur dancers compete for the international crown. Each couple will perform two dances – one a choice of traditional Latin or ballroom; the other a freestyle dance reflecting their national culture.

Ìý

An expert will commentate on performance and artistic content and viewers will be asked to vote on the overall performance – dancing, choreography, costume and choice of music. Will any of the couples suffer the shame of nul points?

Ìý

Like the Eurovision Song Contest, Eurovision Dance Contest will have foreign hosts, a scoreboard and will be live and unpredictable.

Who Dares Wins

Ìý

Nick Knowles hosts a new, Saturday night National Lottery show in which complete strangers are coupled-up to put their general knowledge and nerve to the ultimate test.

Ìý

Two dynamic duos are randomly paired-up in the studio to pit their wits against each other, creating lists on any given subject. Which couple will name the most films starring Tom Cruise, the most Beatles hit singles or create the longest list of post-War ladies' Wimbledon champions?

Ìý

Tensions build and the couples bond as they bid to outdo each other. The first pair with two lists under their belt claim victory and win the right to carry on list-making with the opportunity to win up to £60,000.

Ìý

And that's not all – the champions return the following Saturday to face two new challengers, in the show in which making lists could make two lucky people very rich.
