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
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!

I love Leighton, he is a fantastic dancer, a nice person, he and Nikita are a great partnership, but.... He is obviously a trained dancer, he has ballet moves, and can move his body like a trained dancer and is currently in the West End.
Strictly is either a professional and an amateur, or it is a professional show.
The organisers have got it so wrong this year. People like Annabel who has been dancing her socks off, a true amateur, have got to compete with a professional duo.
If they win it will be a travesty.
It is putting me off watching the results on Sunday !
All amateurs or at least people who haven't danced for years, next year please. Back to the original script.

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.
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.
