The Greatest Dancer

True some dancers are not great but shows everyone can if they want it enough

This was just horrible and my sympathy goes to the dancers, some of whom did have talent. The format is derivative and the whole concept was a bit exploitative! It was just an excuse for fake tears and emotions from the judges. Saturday night TV has reached a new low.

This was one of those shows that the BBC promote to the hilt, make out it's going to be the best thing since sliced bread, and then quietly admit later that it wasn't as good as it should have been.

The talent is all there, but it's all pieces of a puzzle that has been put together better before, and elsewhere.

For whatever reason, the BBC just don't seem to do this show well, and this was another fine example.

It ran for two series, and although the BBC probably claimed that the reason for this not running longer was due to the pandemic, the truth is it just was never anything better than just 'ok'.

I love the American SYTYCD - minimal padding, excellent and educational critiques from reputable judges and absolutely amazing talent and choreography. This show is NOT anything like that. I gave up on this crap before the end of the first episode. It's not about the dancing, that is made clear by the incessant cuts to audience gobsmacked faces during the performance. I don't need to see some strangers reaction to decide if I'm enjoying myself as well, just keep the camera on the performance so we can watch it in its entirety!!! Soooo much padding and waffle.

I love this show. The dancers are so talented and it's the audience who votes them in or out. The feedback from the judges is spot on unlike the self satisfying judges on The Voice. Great Saturday night entertainment.
