So, you don't like this and you don't like that, but your dislikes are what others find enjoyable about the program, are your opinions really more important than other viewers?

Would you be happier if the license fee payers stumped up the money so you can have a Strictly Come Dancing tailor made for your wants? Or shall the viewing public just bow down to your desires and keep our wants to ourselves just to keep you happy and watching?

[quote=Lalawo;70392178]No props. Please. No "hilarious" costumes for the "comedy" contestants. How can they dance dressed as a bear, etc? And no news/Holby/Casualty/eastenders actors, the Beeb does realise it employs hundreds of "talent" surely?[/QUOTE]

Especially if the program is still on air and they are in it. Always thought that was an unfair voting advantage.

I don't mind poor old Anton but the rest you mention are not a patch on the old ones, the dancing then was much better these new batch are far too manic their choreography is not up to scratch, they should all go back to Burn the Floor.

Anton is still the Strictly stallion.

Unpleasant post. I have a right to state my opinions and nowhere did I imply that they were more important that other people's. Besides, I am certainly not alone in expressing in this forum dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the show as it has become. Who knows, maybe even some members of the viewing public out there feel the same.

But you are stamping your foot and saying you wont watch Strictly again unless they change the program to your liking, that's why I was asking if you thought your opinions were more important than other peoples.

I'm not watching next year unless they can guarantee that Greg The Floor Manager won't bugger off in the last two weeks to deal with a new-born baby. I've been BEREFT. It's ruined the whole thing.

Not really. She is free to stop watching if she wants to. Not sure why you've got your knickers in a twist.

My knickers are too old to get twisted,
I was just asking the questions because to me the thread sounds like emotional blackmail.
Do things my way or I'm leaving.

Well OP you've actually made some good points but I doubt you'll get what you want in relation to some of them.

Some good points, one or two I'd agree with, but although SCD has been disappointing for a couple of years now I can't imagine flouncing off and not watching. There's still enough good content to keep the tv audience tney have, as can be seen by the viewing figures.

Only if anyone that has anything to do with the show reads the post and cares in the slightest.
