I'm proud to say that, even though I know what you're talking about, I've never watched an episode of that shite!

Good for you bobh.

Easy Saturday night viewing and real people competing that has kept many people sane in these turbulent times.

One question, how can one know it's shite when they've never watched an episode?

Post was a bit tongue in cheek if I'm honest and I'd only watched bits over the years myself but the misus loves it.
Didnt fancy Newcastle v Fulham so I sat and watched the lot to see what all the fuss was about.

Better than decent viewing IMHO, and a nice change from the football.

Edit:
BTW, I think you can get it on catchup

I'm barely a casual observer of Strictly, even though Mrs HaB watches it religiously. I'm a fan of Bill Bailey so kept a bit of interest in it this series. Surprised how well he did initially, but never thought he could win it. I don't think he deserved it, but by all accounts, the public voted for him in droves throughout. Maisie deserved more support but the public didn't get behind her.

It was a live show tonight and it was noticeable how everyone got very emotional, no doubt eccentuated by the tier announcements for Christmas today from our glorious leaders.

Regarding the dancers themselves, my missus reckons the standard was better than all previous shows. Though her judgement may well have been affected by her emotions.

It was a popularity contest not a dancing one as the worst dancer won.

Most "reality" shows are the same.

True. But on this occasion Bill took dad dancing to a whole new level. He was good but was completely outshone by the others especially the "ginger bird" as one poster described her.

Re: Only one winner for me...

Harvey was easily the best dancer on a technical level, but he had a higher starting point.
Bill has progressed the most. I'm glad he won.
That 'Ginger Bird' was never going to win a popularity vote as 2 previous appearances in the bottom 2 showed.

Wasn't eastenders usually a depressing watch over Christmas, some dark storylines coming to a close.

Wonder if they have gone for a full on uplifting version this year

EDIT: Thread isn't even about eastenders. From the first few posts I was convinced it was.

Dreadful cringeworthy nonsense

Some of the Eastern European dancers are talented ladies mind

I watched it when Jill halfpenny and Stacey Dooley were performing for obvious reasons

But its flogging a dead horse now surely ?

That Claudia winkleman gets on my nerves

The much awaited response and highly predictable.
Agree on most, but not all, points.
