And if all else fails, you'll have to mug someone for their ticket.

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

Mmmm ... now that's a good idea

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

Does anybody else think it's all got a bit 'tacky' and over the top? I used to love it but they waste so much time with scripted fill-in prior to actually dancing it puts me off.

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

I still love it countrygirl, I think its X-factor that got unbelievably tacky.

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

I will admit I record so that I can skip these embarressing cutsey little scenes..I used to record so I could avoid Brucie and its just become a habit..

Showing a bit of practice or a highlight is ok but all the silly stuff is just time wasting and detracts from the show.

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

I agree Cass, I used to view it as a competition, where one of the best dancers won in the end, but these scripted stories of how they spent their training are obviously marketing gimmicks, and are not working for me!

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

I record it Annie and skip the first 10 mins of people arriving.
I also fast forward through the little 'playlets', I watch the programme to see the dancing not poorly written fluff .
I can't stand Tess-what's-her name either with her inane waffling and wish she had gone when the awful 'Brucie' and his embarrassingly poor jokes went.

It would be good to have a 'no nonsense' Compère preferably male .

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

Strictly come dancing? Is that a TV show or foreplay. God knows what my wife would say, if I tried that on!

Re: Strictly Come Dancing.

Yes, it is a bit tacky and all the contestants sound the same to me. Tried to watch it once or twice but couldn't hack the squealing. I still watch the dancing even though I criticise it. I love dancing.

You naughty boy.
