So sad about Strictly.

[CurlewKate]

It's been part of our family life since it started. I really wanted to think it was as wholesome and joyous and life affirming as it looked, even though I knew it probably wasn't.

And there are celebrities that I feel differently about now because they didn't blow the whistle.😢

Didnt they used to do The Peoples Strictly at Christmas

They did it once for Children in Need or similar. It’s never been a full series or regular as far as I remember (and I’d remember, I’m sure).

What did she say?

@OhBeAFineGuyKissMe Just googled it and she wrote:

"You are the kindest, incredibly talented, most gentle man… I’m so sorry, sending you so much love xxxx."

On another note, your user name takes me back to A Level physics astronomy, and a boy in our class gave his own mnemonic - Oh Bollocks a Fucking Git Kicked Me.

This times a million
@FlannelandPuce The production team need to take a good long look at the direction the show has taken, as I feel it has evolved without good stewardship resting on its laurels. Poor presenting, mismanagement of celebs and their care, and lack of wholesome content means it is being left behind by the likes of the masked singer. I would much prefer my children to watch a singer dressed as an octopus having a laugh, than gyrating skimpy clad dancers with toxic backstage behavior and lack of boundaries.

I’m beginning to think SCD should be ditched now. At one time I loved it. Over the years, less so. And now this!

I agree it needs to be ditched or as others have said the production team need to look at it make massive changes.

In recent years the stupid OTT AI imaging on the dancefloor etc have really spoiled it, never mind all of the other issues. It has moved so far away from what it originally was. I liked when there were only 2 dances per week and you could make comparisons, and people weren't overscored in the first weeks.
