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.
For the 2019 season, It Takes Two was moved over to BBC 1, and extended to 45 minutes, in the long used "Pointless" slot betwen 5.15 and 6pm, monday to friday. The long-running quiz show "Pointless" was pushed back to the 4.30pm-5.15pm slot. Other programming now runs in tbe 6-7pm slot on BBC 2, that "It Takes Two" occupied during previous seasons of Strictly.
