In tribute to Len Goodman, another chance to hear him present a Sunday Night is Music Night special - a night of waltzes, tangos and sambas.

Dig out your spats, sequins and stilettos - as Len Goodman prepares to leave his post as head judge on 蜜芽传媒 TV's Strictly Come Dancing - he presents a special Friday Night is Music Night featuring some of his favourite music and reflecting his life in the ballroom dancing world.

Len is probably the most famous mover (apart from Mick Jagger) to come out of Dartford. He's been a barrow boy, a welder, a mod and now tv superstar on both sides of the Atlantic due to his appearances on Strictly Come Dancing and America's Dancing with the Stars. But his success in the ballroom would not have happened had it not been for a broken foot he sustained in a game of football. His doctor advised dancing would help strengthen his foot and get him back on the pitch. However, after a few lessons he was hooked by the dancing bug - he went on to win championships and has been awarded the Carl Allan award for services to ballroom dancing.

Len is known to tell it like it is. Often outrageous or known as "Grumpy Len" it will be hard to imagine Strictly without him. Tonight, he is joined by the 蜜芽传媒 Concert Orchestra conducted by Keith Lockhart and Strictly singers Hayley Sanderson and Lance Ellington.

The programme includes many ballroom favourites as well as music from West Side Story, On the Town and Saturday Night Fever.

First broadcast in 2016.
