Strictly Come Dancing

This show gets one star from me purely because it allows time to take a long soak in the bath in order to avoid it.

Orange faces, flashy sets, over-coregraphed routines and pantomime level costumes make it one of the worst examples of high budget low quality programmes on TV.

Anyone with a true love of dance will see this for what it is: kitsch.

Why, when prime time viewing would so benefit from a programme which genuinely promoted an appreciation of dance would surely be welcomed by so many must we be subjected to celebrities attempting to reinvigorate their flagging careers by making exhibitions of themselves, while so-called 'judges' self- indulgent egos are afforded an outing.

Time for this pulp to be abandoned in favour of some genuine soul food, please!

This program like most of its kind has become boring and repetitive .same stuff every year .you get a few true celebs but alot of wannabe celebs that noone really cares for. BBC charges a TV license to watch the same things over and over .the only good things on BBC are their exclusive dramas which are good , as for all this reality stuff , enough is enough BBC don't bore us anymore

I sit through this rubbish to keep my wife company whilst she watches it. I'd rather be anywhere else and I mean anywhere else. It is appalling and the judges are some of the worst examples of human beings ever to be on prime time TV. Plus this drivel is funded by the TV licence which makes it even worse.

The over-emotional and syrupy tributes by the dancers after they have got knocked out are so sugary that my diabetes has got worse.o The quivering lips and catches in the voice as they say how wonderful their partner has been is very staged. They always say how they will be friends for life and stay in touch. Lets go forward 10 years and see if that is tbe case. Also the thump..thump..thump of the clapping is very irritating as is the whoiping at the end of what can be quite basic routines. Very often some weaker dancers get 7 when a 4 would be more appropriate. Once a judge picks up on a couple of errors they should be marked dowm. Craig usually has the right idea...hit them where their ability deserves. The show is too formulaic and predictable these days...a rest would be a good idea. There is always one couple that go on a 'journey' ar the expense of much stronger dancers. Ps why are the dancers in the same costumes on Sunday after 24 hours? The judges and presenters have a change.

Having watched and enjoyed Strictly for many years I am disappointed in this year's show. It's getting very tired. What is all the fuss about over Angela Rippon. I don't feel she's been tested yet with the more complex dances. I believe the Strictly producers are being selective. Also, let's not forget she has a dance history. A definite advantage in my view. Get her out. Just look at some of the work the contestants with no dance background are producing. They are the real winners in my book. I'm not a producer so I'm unable to make any suggestions but I feel it needs a completely new formula.
