Dear Sir / Madam
I am working on BBC1's new Saturday night prime time show. We are bringing back "Come Dancing" which ran on British television for 50 years. The new series will be called "Strictly Come Dancing" and hooks into the international resurgence of ballroom dancing by creating a live family entertainment programme based around a strictly ballroom-style competition.
Presented by Bruce Forsyth, the format is an old favourite with a new twist. Eight high-profile celebrities will be paired with eight professional dancers. Over eight weeks they will learn and perform both Latin American and Ballroom dances in a battle to be crowned ‘Strictly Come Dancing Champions 2004’.
Each live Saturday night performance will be judged by a jury of professionals and personalities from the world of ballroom dance. The fourth judge will be the general public, whose votes could change the league profoundly. All profits made through phone calls will go to charity.
The reason that I am contacting you is that I have been browsing your website
www.uk-jive.co.uk We have a show that goes out on BBC3 every night of the week for the eight week run that will work as a Fanzine show for both our show and the world of dancing. One of the segments that we would like to do is a dance partner section where we help viewers find a suitable partner.
I was wondering whether we could post some information on your website about the show and the dance partner segment of the show. It would be great to start getting people interested as soon as possible as the show goes out in May and June. Could you let me know your thoughts and whether this is a possibility.
If there is anything else that you think might make an interesting feature for the show then let me know. Don't hesitate to contact me on either of the numbers below or drop me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Laura Buckwell
