Interesting to note that Strictly beat Dr Who in the viewing figures.
SWMBO & I are both Strictly fans. On my part, it has nothing to do with the scantily clad fit women gyrating about. However, one thing I've noticed. On the Sunday Results Show, all the presenters, judges, dancers are very careful to talk about 'last night' or 'yesterday' or 'Saturday'. Also, all the presenters & judges are dressed differently, but it's patently obvious the whole thing is recorded on the Saturday. You only have to look at the audience, all dressed exactly the same & in exactly the same seats as the Saturday show. No female would ever wear the same outfit twice! Cheating methinks :-) -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I'm not sure that you want to pursue the 'cheating' theme. The whole series is choreographed to make us believe it's a real competition ie keep the fat bloke in as long as possible and other naughties. Jim S Tyneside UK www.jimscott.co.uk |

That sort of thing has been going on for years in TV, no real surprise.
as for Dr Who, how do they know how many people watched. a lot of people recorded DR who and many more will use catch up services to see it and possible some may be goin to the cinema in the week to view it as well. I had Strictly, its possibly due to it being a very visual piece of programming. Why is it called Strictly as most of the people on ther seem to be having a whale of a time. not much strictness there is there. Maybe it should be called dancing with humour? I mean its all formulaic and I'm sure fo,lk know what they are going to say up front in any case. What next, Celebrity come youghting, or perhaps celebs doing a stint in a butchers shop? That cold be a Monty Python sketch. Brian -- From the Sofa of Brian Gaff Reply address is active "The Medway Handyman" wrote in message ...

Wonder how many viewers believe that the second show actually takes place on Sunday evening ? Definitely cheating - but then, so is much of the 'reality' stuff on TV. But then - it's 'entertainment' - and shouldn't be taken too seriously... (or Strictly) |

On the Sunday Results Show, all the presenters, judges, dancers are very careful to talk about 'last night' or 'yesterday' or 'Saturday'. Also, all the presenters & judges are dressed differently, but it's patently obvious the whole thing is recorded on the Saturday. You only have to look at the audience, all dressed exactly the same & in exactly the same seats as the Saturday show. No female would ever wear the same outfit twice! Cheating methinks :-) Absolutely sure that it is all done on the Saturday. If they don't think we have spotted that then they are dafter than I already thought. I'm not sure that you want to pursue the 'cheating' theme. The whole series is choreographed to make us believe it's a real competition ie keep the fat bloke in as long as possible and other naughties.

The whole thing is vastly improved by the operation of the switch on the TV marked "Off". +1 I'm amazed at the number of apprently clever and intelligent people in here that admit to watching it. They'll be admiting that they watch tosh like Britains Got Talent, X Factor and so on next! (And if those progs last screened ages ago, I had to google for the titles...) -- Cheers Dave. |

"The Medway Handyman" wrote in message ... Interesting to note that Strictly beat Dr Who in the viewing figures. SWMBO & I are both Strictly fans. On my part, it has nothing to do with the scantily clad fit women gyrating about. On my part it is watching the women. The best bit is when they run up the stairs seeing which ones have most bounce. I do appreciate a good dance routine too. |
