The show was created by Eric Morley , the founder of Miss World , and began in 1949 by broadcasting from regional ballroom studios, with professional dancers Syd Perkins and Edna Duffield on hand to offer teaching. In 1953 the format changed to become a competition, with later series seeing regions of the United Kingdom going head to head for the coveted trophy. The many presenters over the years included Peter West , Terry Wogan , Brian Johnston , Angela Rippon , Michael Aspel , Noel Edmonds , David Jacobs , Judith Chalmers , Pete Murray , and Rosemarie Ford . Commentators included Ray Moore , Bruce Hammal , Charles Nove . In 2004 , a re-launched celebrity version entitled '' Strictly Come Dancing '', hosted by Bruce Forsyth , debuted on BBC One , and became a popular hit on Saturday evenings. The format of the newer show has been successfully exported under the name ''Dancing with the Stars'' in both Australia and The U.S. ''Come Dancing'' is also the title of a song by The Kinks .
