The Greatest Dancer

True some dancers are not great but shows everyone can if they want it enough

I love this show. The dancers are so talented and it's the audience who votes them in or out. The feedback from the judges is spot on unlike the self satisfying judges on The Voice. Great Saturday night entertainment.

This was one of those shows that the BBC promote to the hilt, make out it's going to be the best thing since sliced bread, and then quietly admit later that it wasn't as good as it should have been.

The talent is all there, but it's all pieces of a puzzle that has been put together better before, and elsewhere.

For whatever reason, the BBC just don't seem to do this show well, and this was another fine example.

It ran for two series, and although the BBC probably claimed that the reason for this not running longer was due to the pandemic, the truth is it just was never anything better than just 'ok'.

Designed for mass appeal at the lowest level. Simon Cowell has found the saddest of back stories, the cheesiest acts beyond processed cheese, plus a total corn field. Obviously he thought this low low formula is rock solid. But maybe he has set the bar too low this time. Can only hope!

It has really grown on me. I find it very entertaining, great Sat night viewing, although they do need to get rid of the receptionist bit during the auditions...that's a little annoying.
