Is Strictly serious entertainment or mind numbing bollocks

[Lindsayt]

The sort of people that watch Strictly are the sort that would rather sandpaper their eyeballs with a car battery than watch Match of the Day.

It's nice to have a choice. No need to watch what you don't like.

Not so good if the choice is between 30 channels, all full of utter shite.

[Lindsayt]

Then the choice is "Switch off your television set and do something more interesting instead".

The only bone of contention then becomes having to pay a TV tax (called license fees).

[Daniel Quinn]

When Roger waters wrote the lyric in 1977 " I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from" little did he envisage that 40 years later he would now have to sing " I got thirteen hundred channels of shit to choose from ."

[Art Vandelay]

Springsteen was getting closer in 1992 with "57 Channels and Nothing On".........

Then the choice is "Switch off your television set and do something more interesting instead".

Which is what I do, apart from half an hour or so for Have I Got News For You.

The only bone of contention then becomes having to pay a TV tax (called license fees).

If you never watch TV, you don't need a licence.
