The yearly making a fool of yourself on the dance floor has arrived. The Beeb would like you to believe that the dance off is tonight (Sunday) The poor person leaving tonight is ...... Les Dennis, Nikita had to also dance off but was saved. On to next week.

A small adjustment to the title might help.

I've never come dancing - it's been close a few times.

Our DIL and her friend are absolutely mad on it and have been to a few recordings of the programme; early starts and late finishes IIRC. Therefore our granddaughters are also mad on it. I've never seen it and have no wish to do so.

Sometime this year they showed old episodes of Come Dancing; such a change, no overglitter, no screaming crowds, no pompous overpaid personalities, just folk who made their own clothes, wore little make up, worked in mundane jobs, but for whom dancing was their passion and their dream of glory. And some were so young as compared to the rather over the top entrants in this years overblown pig feast. I rather think Billy Smart’s Circus might be better with wild animals, clowns and acrobats!

I thought you would be more into the best of the good old days 😄

Thank you to whoever corrected the (deliberately) misspelled title. I now fell comfortable commenting.
Personally I enjoy Strictly (as it is known). Watching someone who doesn't have a clue grow into someone not half bad or even pretty good is a joy. Yes there are the no hopers but by the end the cream is generally left and it becomes a proper competition. Just MHO of course.

I think the generally dwindling tv ratings explain what’s happening. Good luck to all those who enjoy watching it though.

And please dept71 if that's truly the outcome of the dance-off, keep it to yourself next time. Not even a spoiler alert. How selfish.

No strictly come howling and screaming for me.The wife watches and I go in the office and watch Netflix on my computer. Why does the merest twitch of a dancer set off banshee howling?

Because the production editors are in control of the pap that is broadcast.
