Strictly 2024

Looking forward to seeing it.

Strictly marks the end of summer for me 💃🕺🏼🎼🎊

Love Strictly!!

I won't mention mothers again this year - unless the unthinkable happens.

I do hope it is done and dusted each week on Saturday and we do not have the extra 45 minutes on Sunday with most of us knowing who is leaving.

I used to really enjoy Strictly, but I am tired of the same old format. The fillers for example with the journey of the celebrities. Dance couples out visiting places to get a flavour of what they need to put into the dance that week.
It’s all just padding. Daft props that are used for seconds in the opening of a dance. Oh God I could go on. I don’t think I’m watching it this year! 😄

For the first time ever I won't be watching Strictly faithfully. I might dip in but it has got very stale and needs a total revamp. In addition, the bullying has left a sour taste

I echo your thoughts Grandmabatty

Grandmabatty I feel the same as you

Grandmabatty I feel a bit like you, it’s got very stale and boring.

I find that makes it easy, relaxing tv viewing in the wintery months

Added to which our granddaughters also love it so it's a point of contact.

I don't watch Strictly anymore but I do eventually catch up with the dances on YouTube, as they're all I'm interested in really.

Last week I spent an hour watching Giovanni dance with Faye Tozer, which were some of my all time favourite dances.

I will be watching!
Love Strictly

I don't watch Strictly anymore but I do eventually catch up with the dances on YouTube, as they're all I'm interested in really.

Last week I spent an hour watching Giovanni dance with Faye Tozer, which were some of my all time favourite dances.

Giovanni is dancing in the Italian version this year.

It is a shame Giovanni has gone, I wonder if the Italian version will be available on YouTube?

I was finding the forced, enthusiastic, jolliness and the "we all love each and we'll be friends forever" really false and yukky.
And that was before the revelations came tumbling out.

Like other posters, I am really only interested in the dances and not stuff like the pros enjoying Sunday lunch with nan and all the family in Scunthorpe. I know they have to change the settings etc. and as most of it was live they needed time but still.

I also disliked the way they insisted that the dance off was Sunday evening when everybody knew it was after the show on Saturday.

I expect these elements will still be there and it will as close to the mixture as before as they can make it.

I'll watch it but I feel it's a bit tainted.

Shall miss Gio as he was such a special part of it especially the year he danced with Rose.

As others have said, way too much padding. I never watch it live, but go to IPlayer where I can fast forward through the fluff and just watch the dances. Never watch the “Sunday” show.

A lot of tv is stale nothing new same old same old presenters and all those so called botoxed, fake tanned celebreties (clones of one another)

It's become very predictable in format and boring. There seems to be no spontaneity or variety. Just the same old...

I've lost my enthusiasm, during the last series
I began to cringe. I miss Bruce Forsyth he brought the show together?

Agree, very stale, Tessa predictable speech with predictable hand wringing action! Just wish they’d rested it this year as the “celebrities” well, aren’t! The controversy forgoing. They should just have done a celebration of twenty years showing all the best over the years. That wouldn’t happen as it’s not a money spinner. No tour revenue, no phone revenue. Can’t abide the Sunday show either. Will I watch? Probably but preferably something else will be on and it will be on catch up tv.

I agree about too many boring fillers which is why I record it and watch later zipping through to miss them and only watch the dancers.

I used to look forward to Strictly but lost enthusiasm for it last year and hardly watched it at all, except like Dempie55 on iplayer so I could cut through all the unnecessary dross and loviness which makes me cringe. I feel the whole format needs a good shake up or viewing figures will continue to drop.

Surely it’s getting to the end of its useful life now?

One does not know the pair leaving unless you make it your business to find out. A gentleman who walks his dog the same time as I do always wants to tell me but at last he's realised I prefer to wait.
