What did you think of Strictly Dance Fever?

Despite it being utterly crap, the dancing did give us a good few vodka induced laughs. Hardly top Saturday night entertainment though is it?

Why is it, when tv companies have a reasonably good idea (ie Strictly Come Dancing) they feel they have to drag every last drop out of it by making naff cash in shows?

That's a good point but I don't think that was the right vehicle for him. When the idea for The Generation Game came up after Brucie left for a second time, he said he really wanted it. However his joke at the British Comedy Awards with Norman Lamont as a punchline turned him into a social outcast.

Just like Doctor Who, enough time has passed to erase the memory of what happened before. The fact he was so popular on Strictly Come Dancing proves the audience have warmed to him, in fact I think there's greater affection for Julian (like the public have with Paul O'Grady) than there is with Norton.

I watched it and stuck with it on Saturday night and thought it was ok - but a poor man's Strictly Come Dancing.

Graham should NOT be lowering himself to presenting such cr@p as this and needs to return to some sort of chat-show, possibly on BBC Three.
