About this episode
In what should be a celebratory 20th year for Strictly Come Dancing, the show instead is marred in controversy with allegations of misconduct in rehearsal spaces and around training methods. How has one of the BBC's crown jewels ended up here, and what does it's future hold? Elsewhere, BBC radio is facing criticism with a proposed spin-off of a Radio 2 oldies station plus Marina & Richard go through a recent list from the New York Times on the top 100 books of the 21st century.
