The next time I hear someone on telly, or radio, refer to that mind-numbing, crap, boring, tedious, mudane, dull, losing-the-will-to-live pile of s
te of a programme called Strictly Come Dancing as...
STRICTLY
I will release the dogs, proffer several pox grenades, remove his or her eyes with my Dyson animal on slow suck, introduce him or her to my red hot poker and make him or her eat lemon curry from down the road with one of Vixpy's succulent dogturd burgers for pudding...
This is not a drill...

Right, before I begin, I can't abide most of the st that's put before us under the banner of popular television but I don't mind SCD. Bear with me...
It involves a genuine skill (admittedly a pretty useless one) and requires people (I refuse to call them celebrities) with no aptitude for that skill to actually put some effort in.
The people behind the show seem to have at least put some time/money into it - it's broadcast live (I think) they make all those dubious costumes and there's a proper orchestra/band/singers.
I'd also make an exception for things like Masterchef - relatively normal people trying to progress in a competition by demonstrating an aptitude for learning new skills.
Obviously I only watch these things because the wife puts them on...
But I agree that 90% of this type of programming is pretty sorry st. I'm not sure what they're all called but I'm talking about the made-on-a-shoestring, bottom-of-the-barrel concepts like Homes Under the Hammer, Flog It, Something (st perhaps?) in the Attic, Big Brother, etc, etc.

You didn't say STRICTLY, so I'll let you off...t that's put before us under the banner of popular television but I don't mind SCD.
