I'm not saying the numbers aren't fantastic, just that numbers are the things that are more important at the end of the day
Not to the people making the program. If your pool of viewers is shrinking and you are still hanging on to the vast majority of them you are succeeding.

No matter which way you cut it, Bruce no longer being on the show is not the reason for any loss in viewers between 2010 & 2016.

Can you please tell me where I said brucie leaving affected ratings?! I was just correcting someone who said this series was the highest rated, that is all. Only a get well soon thread could be turned into a ''The show and ratings are better off without them''

Numbers matter more, having a higher share just means less people were watching tv overall at that particular time
No, I've spent enough time on the ratings thread to know that share is just as important. The overall live viewing figures for TV are dropping so a show that maintains the same share - or increases it - over the past few years is doing incredibly well.

Strictly is one of the few shows that have managed this. For a channel that doesn't rely on adverts live viewing figures isn't the priority anyway, it's the overall reach of the programme

Sir Bruce is missed by so many Strictly fans at home that it is bound to affect the ratings badly, Strictly has been extraodinarilly luck that x factor has been in turmoil on the other side otherwise the real picture would be obvious to even the casual fastforward strictly viewer brigade.

Rubbish! He may have been a star in the fifties and even the sixties but he was long past his sell by date when Strictly started. He was never as good as he thought he was and always his biggest fan, apart from you!

The fact that there's been nothing about him in the press for some weeks, (someone tell me different) suggests to me that he's quite ill. He wouldn't miss a media photo opportunity with a "thumbs up, on the road to recovery," if there was any chance of that.

It's just a suggestion, but it might be better to leave this thread now out of respect for an old man in poor health whether we liked him as a Strictly host, or not.
