Thought at the time they'd put it on at strange times - think it was something like 9.00pm on a Wednesday evening - which isn't really a light entertainment slot.
People's Strictly would have been better with shorter films about the 'revealing' contestants and then bits about their training during the One Show over several weeks. Would be much cheaper to do. Then the 'Final' - the actual dance contest - could be a programme on its own one Friday, perhaps immediately after the One Show.
