I was just curious as to what age is the audience that Strictly attracts.
I'm not even 20 yet and ADORE this show. I get excited every week but none of my friends watch it.
Is it more targeted at an older audience?

I think it's one of those shows that appeals right across the age ranges, but I do think, in general, it appeals more to girls and women than boys and men.
Hubby and son may watch bits and pieces but would rather do anything than watch every week and I'd rather they found something else to do because they keep trying to talk to me. :rolleyes:
If you are asking who the voters are then, Id say they are the 20 somethings and 30 somethings mainly. I doubt many of the over 50s vote...
that is adorable. reminds me of myself 11 years ago watching it when I was 8.
I think Strictly has fans of all ages, and that it is aimed at everyone.
Although a lot of young people (i.e. about your age) don't seem to watch any TV at all on Saturday nights, because they are too busy going out! I don't think I know any teenagers who watch it.
Doesn't stop me from bending their ears summat chronic though!
I just measured it with a ruler.
Picked it up from my parents who used to watch it - they have never been as into it as I am though.
Also, none of my friends or siblings normally watch it - although strangely enough me, mum, dad and brother tuned in for last years final!
Because we live abroad, we can`t vote.
I'm sure you're right about it appealing to all ages, but I doubt you're right about the voting demographic. I can't think of any reason why voting would be determined by age, except that young children don't pay the phone bill and are therefore unlikely to be allowed to vote. I'm in the, ahem, over 50s age group and I vote most of the time; last year I voted for Pendledrama in the hope that she'd pull off at least one decent dance, and then stopped voting for her as soon as she had. I didn't mind who won last year and thought that Louis had it in the bag, so there was little point. On the other hand, I still shudder when I think of my phone bill the year Kara and Artem won - I voted like a demon.
Audience research?
Whatever next?
"First blood seems to have gone to Strictly Come Dancing, which nearly matched last year’s performance at this stage (9.9m/43.5%), with a stellar 9.3m (42.1%). The audience peaked at 10.6m (46.3%) at 7.50pm. As might be expected, the audience for the ballroom-dance show skews to the older age demographics – 53.9% of the audience were over the age of 65 – but it still drew above-benchmark Shares for younger viewers too: a 24.6% Share of Adults 16-24 was well up on the slot benchmark figure of 19.5%."
