I fast fwd through everything except the dances, there is so much hype now, flashing lights everywhere, somstimes you can't even see the dancers because of the lighting effects projected onto the floor.

Recently they re-showed the first one, it was so much better without all the things mentioned above.

And I agree that it is ridiculous to pretend that the results show is live, when it is recorded just after the main show ends, I just wish they'd be honest about it.

I only watched it once - when bill Bailey danced to enter sandman by Metallica (my favourite band)

Snap. I always check the spoiler for the results.

So do I.

Stopped watching years ago, but I never thought I would stop watching I'm a celebrity get me out of here! But I did!

We've never watched Strictly either, I thought we were the only ones

You are not alone! Couldn't stand 'Brucie' and 'the Strictly judges panel' either.

I used to agree with Len, that the music never fits the dance, and it's more circus performing with so many lifts and acrobats. They have 90 seconds to perform and very little of that is done with proper ballroom steps. I'm another who records to f/f the cr.p. This year is a record, I only recognise THREE names !

I remember buying an offer of B&W in a magazine, Nova perhaps, in the Seventies. I grew up in NI, and this was the height of fashion for me. I had to ask my Mum to buy me a postal order to send for it. It was a simple double row brooch and matching earrings and was loved and worn for many years.

Never watched that either. I can't believe the c@@p that is on some channels. Love Island, Celebrities (?) Go Dating, Married at First Site,90 Day Fiance etc.

Exactly. Flinging yourself about, kicking your leg out every 5 seconds, doing running steps, the lifts and acrobatics, to me do not equal ballroom dancing. I've only ever seen bits, couldn't watch it all the way through for that very reason. I saw a comedy skit once, where the comic took the mick out of the programme, and said 'it's a pity they can't get the dancers dancing to the same music the band are playing' - from the bits I've seen, I'd agree.

agree with you there about the music being unsuitable for the dance. Bring back the proper Come Dancing without all the flaming screaming and razzmatazz

You are right there is a lot of bad television.

I’m just waiting to see how many times Toyah will mention her age and wait for the fawning comments.
I’m hoping she’s voted out early, I really can’t take to her at all.

Our last holiday in April I ended up with Bronchitis. I got antibiotics from the medical centre but ended up with a second lot a week after we got home.
