Admittedly I dance extremely reluctantly and with all the panache of lead boots filled with the unproved soggy disaster of a Bakeoff loser, but I still cannot see the appeal of Strictly.

Some people clearly enjoy reality TV shows like 'Strictly', but to me, it's lowbrow cheap entertainment that's often cheesy, full of talentless egotists and well past its best lacking in substance and quality, like the Beeb itself, time it faded into history.

Shite every year. Throw in the following:

A soap actor.

An 'influencer' or 'YouTuber'.

An old singer.

The ubiquitous drag queens that clog up any beeb programme.

A 'comedian'.

Someone with a disability to make everyone cry.

A love islander.

And voila! Rinse and repeat!

Good old corrupt BBC, milking this scandal ridden corpse when they should've done the decent thing and put it out to pasture. They never learn, do they?

To be fair that's the formula for pretty much every "reality" show nowadays. I'm all for diversity but it does feel a bit forced sometimes. Like how many gay guys are going to be on Bakeoff this year?

For all of those stating how shit it is and know the format inside out...

you do realize there are other channels or an off button. You don't have to watch it, just let those that do enjoy it watch, Im sure those same people dislike the programmes you watch but don't want them kicked off the telly.

No need to watch to final episode the BBC have already organised the winner

Ellie Goldstein will win easily she will get the sympathy vote none of the £20.000 per episode judges will dare say anything against her

Look at recent shows a totally deaf girl wins a blind chap wins so Ellie fits the BBC political correct bill a treat

And why do you think the BBC after countless requests refuse to publish the vote figures

I hear full well what you are saying and basically agree. We are not obliged to watch it so, if we are not out supporting our local pub landlord or playing board games with aunts Agatha and Ethelfreda we had hundreds of other channels to watch. Must adnit I struggled a bit last night. Ended up watching a Kirsty and Phil repeat before the Count of Monte Christo. And that turned out to be the final episode!

I think you might well be right. Overcoming a disability tends to out trump talent on that show. Also, Bill Bailey won when he was so much worse than the two others in the final. Split the vote and came through. Now I sound like I actually care!

That's not the point. Once it's in full swing, you'll find they keep covering it on the BBC news, etc, you can't escape it right up til Christmas.

If you watch or listen to the BBC it's mentioned every other minute. Too many spin offs and it doesn't require a mention on the effing radio.

I think it’s sort of merging the title of a 1992 film ‘strictly ballroom’ with the bbc series ‘come dancing’ although that’s just an assumption on my part.

The Australian film Strictly Ballroom was a fabulous film and 100% more entertaining than strictly.

By the way, to the posters that say ... If you don't like it , don't watch it but fail to realize that many guys who comment negatively about strictly today may have been fans in the past and just simply have changed their views. After all, isn't the forum about posting views , ( not abusive) and not be subjected to orders from the 'rightious' ?

Exactly. If you watch television at all, or listen to the radio or read the papers you cannot escape it. Even gets a mention on the BBCNews along with all the tragedies and disasters in the world. Same as Eastenders or those two trolls, Ant 'n Dec. Don't watch them but still suffer all the trailers between programmes.
