Strictly Come Dancing returned for its fifth series on 29 September 2007 on BBC One.

The first programme was a catch-up show and preview of the new series before the start of the competition on 6 October. In a change to the previous format, the results show aired on Sunday rather than later on Saturday.

Mis-Teeq singer Alesha Dixon and Matthew Cutler were announced as the winners on 22 December, while EastEnders actor Matt Di Angelo and Flavia Cacace finished in second place.

The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.

The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. The bottom two couples then perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with Len Goodman, as head judge, having the last and deciding vote. [1]
