Looks like the poor old seamstresses have to knock up costumes for the mindless time-filling twaddle that the BBC deems suitable to pad out SCD with.

What used to be an interesting insight into dance training has now been reduced to a minute or two of childish play-acting.

I seriously do not understand how they can think anyone is in favour of them, they're an utter waste of time. When it says how they get on in training that's what it should be showing us!

They're plumbing new depths. Amateurish, cringeworthy, inept, shoddy ... where's that Thesaurus?

I've just posted exactly the same thread, saying is it me who finds these awful - glad to see I'm not alone

I would'nt mind the VTs if they were funny but most of the time I just cringe watching them.

One of those things that made me want to do violence to whoever thought it was a blimmin' good idea to do it, EVERY WEEK, on EVERY COUPLE.

Of course, R2D2 would probably say I am inciting violence again.

I used to find the training parts irritating, after all we can see that on ITT. But, these silly, comic, idiotic, embarrassing additions are just too inane. I am now seriously considering sky+ and watching it later so I can FF.

Condescending, insulting, breath-taking, jaw-dropping, skin-crawling...

Dull, facile, emetic, irrelevant, tedious, patronising to contestants and audience alike, just pointless...

I agree with all of this thread.

Ha - at least I did my list in alphabetical order!

And I posted this in your thread:-

I record, then fast-forward through them, and last week I cut out everything but the dances.

I miss Lulu.

I loved the real training footage we used to get. Really helped get a feel for the contestants and the partnerships. Now I have to change channels due to the extreme second hand embarrassment. They're awful and have ruined what used to be one of my favourite parts of the show.

I was too irate

Any way, you don't have to just place your venom, you have to feel it coursing through your dictionary veins like fire Who can do alphabetical when engorged with fury?

Oops did I just channel Bruno's evil twin?

i always live pause it, get something useful done, go back to it and skip the drivel !!!
