Strictly

[Lavinda Past]

It's just very dated Saturday night "very light entertainment", like a 21st century version of Seaside Special.
I guess there's enough captive audience grannies to lap up this sort of rubbish, as everyone younger is in the pub, at a gig or watching something more worthwhile on a streaming service.

I consider it more to be a modern day (woke) 'Black and White Minstrels Show'. Entertainment so 'light' it would blow away in a breeze. I've only ever seen glimpses of it in passing through the channels, but it looks harmless enough for little old ladies to watch.

That's a very good shout, actually.

if itnwent it would only be replaced with a similar banal variety show or such.

Personally I would like both itv and bbc in aa strong line up of original shows (and not police/spy or hopital stuff) to entertain.

And I think he will win. Strictly needs something 'wholesome' ( the latest buzz word) after the Amanda Abington revelations this last year.

I have seen her interviewed a number of times over the years and she is on the verge of arsey all the time , when i heard she was doing the show my first thought was she wont like being man handled and told what to do . PTSD , do me a fucking favour

He isn’t funny in the slightest, but I agree with @kaz7 that he’s doing a great job on this show - from the bits I see of it anyway.
