    Why do people take videos of themselves and send them to television programmes?

    They also do a Strictly Annual every year, which means I don't need to put any thought into my niece's Christmas present.

    Aye, all that. And it's become part of the calendar.
    It fills the gap between when it's noticeably dark far too early and xmas, after bake off finishes.
    I'm not bothered myself, but P likes it.

    Strictly is well past its sell by date, and is scraping the barrel even further...........
    It's really, really not. A critical bedrock audience seem to be a stream of kids aged 6-11, for whom:
    • none have a particularly strong sense of something being over, not least because it's mostly all new to them
    • those kids in turn drive the parents into being fans, which creates family-buzz beyond that nuclear family
    • It's mercifully much, much freer of the Cowell-stable programmes where certain people are clearly set up to win, so people not in the core audience don't feel like their intelligence and credulity is being prostituted
    Strictly also makes moderate moves to keep things relevant - I can see them dropping some more ballrooms moves to allow more street and freestyle over coming years. I can see it running for years more no trouble.

    I'm thoroughly bored of Strictly now after seeing it 7 or 8 years running, having mildly enjoyed it for the first few years. But my wife and our daughter are still well into it, and the family bonding thing takes precedence over a critical approach.

    I did - I know 8 of them, although Maisie Smith only by her character of Tiffany Butcher in Eastenders (the wife and her soaps...).

    The others I knew were Bill Bailey, Caroline Quentin, Jacqui Smith, Jamie Laing, Jason Bell, Nicola Adams and Ranvir Singh.

    I don't watch Strictly though.

    I shamefully got 5, the same core 4 as everyone plus Jamie Laing - Mrs D is a Made in Chelsea fan. He's an heir to the McVitie's biscuit fortunes. He's OK as they go, doesn't take it too seriously - in Chart Music terms, he's a twat, not a cunt.

    We'll be cheering on Nicola Adams, not just from the LGBT solidarity angle, but she's also a local lass, Mrs D has met her a couple of times through work and I'm separately on nodding terms with her (estranged, allegedly physically abusive) Dad.

    Not really my thing at all but I might watch it just to see Bill Bailey.

    I got to five, as Ranvir Singh presented the local news for years.

    Had to check that Max George wasn't the sponsor of Peterborough.

    Strictly normally gets filed in my "Things I really don't give a fuck about" folder, but I'd read about Nicola Adams saying she'd do it but only if she could dance with a woman, and that has piqued my interest. But not enough to watch it.

    Ah, did they not get Phillip Schofield to do it after all?

    Strictly 2020

    Complete celeb line up now announced. 12 only for a shortened slimmed down series, compared with 15 in recent seasons. But I actually know (as in, could have told you who they were/what they are known for just from their name, and probably recognise them from a photo) 4 of the 12. I'm pretty sure that a 33.33% hit rate before the series starts is a record high for me.

    The ones I know: Jacqui Smith, Caroline Quentin, Bill Bailey, Nicola Adams

    Adams is making headlines as half of the first same sex pairing to compete on Strictly.

    Full list on the Wiki page:
