Strictly Come Dancing

This show gets one star from me purely because it allows time to take a long soak in the bath in order to avoid it.

Orange faces, flashy sets, over-coregraphed routines and pantomime level costumes make it one of the worst examples of high budget low quality programmes on TV.

Anyone with a true love of dance will see this for what it is: kitsch.

Why, when prime time viewing would so benefit from a programme which genuinely promoted an appreciation of dance would surely be welcomed by so many must we be subjected to celebrities attempting to reinvigorate their flagging careers by making exhibitions of themselves, while so-called 'judges' self- indulgent egos are afforded an outing.

Time for this pulp to be abandoned in favour of some genuine soul food, please!
