While I am watching it, the panto elements of the cut scenes are utterly garbage, and the presenters ....

Can't stand it. Especially when the crowd clap along. Cringefest.

Dude, considering you are admitting to mounting your bike in public, a little typo around the word dare is the least of your worries.

And nope. Strictly has not been on in our house for a couple of years since my wife grew out of it so no chance of being sucked in. Never watched enough to get emotionally involved so maybe not qualified to pass judgement. I can see more virtue in this than the other celeb nonsense as it’s hard to learn but my rule of thumb is if I couldn’t  be arsed watching an expert doing something there’s no way I’m going to waste my time watching rank amateurs give it a bash.

First year I've not watched Strictly - the baying Rent a Mob crowd do my head in, so I retreat to an upstairs TV to watch Simon Reeve and his Mediterranean

Breakfast TV.

Still, I managed sixty-odd years before having to watch it, and it’s only because I now live with my g/f who tends to wake early and puts the telly on, so I either eat my breakfast in another room in silence, or sit in the same room with her. And the telly.

This a challenging day for dyslexics.

Their cocks went black last night.

I’m halfway through The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix. All I really watch are series like Vikings, The Wire, Better Call Saul etc. This is very different to my usual viewing, but it’s cheesy good fun.

I used to watch strictly but no more - It got too far away from a dance contest into something else and the "celebs" went from b list to z list

I do watch bakeoff tho sometimes - a gentle kind of fun

Barely watch TV at all. But Botched is my guilty pleasure!  Tattoo fixers was also a thing. Probably vicarious viewing of people’s previous poor decisions being rectified.

Never watched Syrictlynit any of those talent shows.

Tits and Dragons, aka Game of Thrones.  Never thought Id get sucked in having not watched any of it until about this time last year. I then proceeded to binge watch all 8 series..

They've got an ice dragon now... not looking good and as I do not subscribe to sky, Ill have to wait until the last series comes out on dvd... Quite shocking

Bring back the old Come Dancing before all this celebrity rubbish came in.

No wait, don't. I hated that also.

Even with The Cat on Strictly I can't bring myself to watch it. Although Danny is one cool dancer.

I barely watch TV other than news in the background, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf (on Dave) and repeats of Family Guy / American Dad. Game of Thrones kind of but oddly I get bored. Great stuff in it but could really cut a series down past the soap opera-ish elements (meanwhile, this is happening between X and Y, now back to this, and that. Now let's have some action finally, then kill another main character). Episodes could be just chopped down in length a bit.

Do enjoy a bit of Countryfile if I catch it, which would bore me to tears when younger.

What has surprised me is radio though. I'm listening to Radio 4 and enjoy stuff like Just a Minute. Never thought I'd be doing that.

Many years ago - Sabrina the Teenage Witch.  What’s not to like about a sardonic, sarcastic, wisecracking cat.

Rarely watch any TV but we have a very guilty Sunday evening pleasure... old reruns of Heartbeat (no freeview over here, so played on Youtube, resized to evade copyright so you can't see the tops of people's heads).

Took some admitting, that.

Salem the cat was brilliant. Also had a bit of a crush on Zelda Spellman.

With a Netflix sub, I got rid of my license and haven't looked back.

I have also watched some rather random shite on there lol.

BBC News 24. I like to have something on the box if I've made myself a nice brunch, following an early ride say. Or a lie-in. I guess I'm just waiting for the point where they only report on one news event a day, seamlessly cycling the same uninformative piece between inaccurate weather forecasts and hopelessly outmoded panel debates about the middle east. EuroNews is too loud, AlJazeera too Klingon and everything else is far too American.

Strictly, X-Factor, Mrs Browns Boys, Miranda and The Voice all on the list.

I don’t watch them though and I don’t think I ever will.

The Mrs watches most of the reality shite so I head upstairs on my extra PS4.

The odd episode of Pawn Stars is a guilty pleasure.  Probably * fake as owt but I find some of the items, that are brought in, interesting and I find Chumlee find amusing, too.

* definitely.

Strictly "jumped the shark" a long time ago.  I remember when Beyonce performed there on the "Sunday" night show.  Have you seen the calibre of guests and contestants they attract nowadays?

Might start watching again, if Brucie returns.  😉

celebrity first dates on C4. Cringeworthy.

The best bit was when the bloke walked into the bar and saw Melinda Messenger. Face lit up. He couldn't ask for a better blind date!

Nothing wrong with bake off, I used to just enjoy the bits where it went wrong and cake went in the bin. Now I watch every episode....

I have just watched the new Sabrina on Netflix. Wow that was different, very dark and quite gruesome in places. I enjoyed it.

Any police interceptor bodycam type show. I even have favourite past episodes so I can watch repeats just the same....I love the one following a dog handler in m'boro, where it catches one kid and they then say they'll let it off the lead again if the second doesn't come out. Never seen a kid appear so fast while simultaneously shitting himself.

As for strictly....still worth it just for the running up stairs bit.
