But I can't see it going ahead with a studio audience which instantly removes a lot of the show's appeal. There was talk of the professionals being isolated for a couple of weeks to pre-record the group dances, but I have no idea how it would work when sweaty contestants have to practice week in, week out and then go home to their families. Maybe they'll cobble together something for the TV audience, but I can't see how the normal format can work until at least 2021 without significant risk. So far in the UK only select shows have gone back into production, and they're being shot very differently. If dramas are tricky, then this would seem extraordinarily hard...
