Hooray Strictly Come Dancing is back.

My wife loves it, she always does a little dance around the lounge (with herself) to the music when it comes on.

Of course myself I will be sat in the study with smoking jacket and pipe reading Chaucer

I like the X Factor.

The Judges and the show promote equality and give a platform for talent
to ordinary people ignored by the fame system due to their image be it due to their colour or accent weight education job or quirkiness or other.

Like BGT the ethos on inclusion is a positive public show.
I applaud it and Simon Cowell.

Is this also a tongue in cheek post ?

Definitely not.
I find the subject of fame a bit crass-certainly could not stand up in front
of an audience and judge to display a talent even if I had one.

It still can be tedious at times.
I watch more to see the thrill when a beautiful voice comes out of a person who looks the opposite of a film star or a person is given the chance of a lifetime to pick up a career.

Simon Cowell is without prejudice and a good influence and role model
on a the business.

It might be a crass show and dirty business to some though its format popularity is a good platform for a positive influence on equality.

Neither are contestants included on quota's for ethnicity.
Take note of that Labour!

I still dislike Strictly with a passion.

Just shows how people can watch something and derive different perceptions.
That's why I asked if your comments were tongue in cheek.

True!

I guess people look at programmes differently if they watch due to partner's choice.

Mr Hamble has been to quite a few audience invitation's at Media City Salford and met celeb figures.
I went to one years ago.
Very nice as a one off thank you but not my scene.
