Based on everything that we have seen and heard as of late in the British press, there is nothing that they love more about whether or not a reality show is fixed from the start. When it comes to the latest season of “Strictly Come Dancing,” we don’t really think that it was. Was Jay McGuiness […]
Strictly Come Dancing, The X Factor
If you think that “Dancing with the Stars” is a success in America, you really should take a look at how its counterpart in Britain is faring still. “Strictly Come Dancing” is the original, and while its viewers overall are lower than the ABC show, we’re talking all about the audience share here. The final […]
We’ve written rather extensively over time about the ratings battle between “The X Factor” and “Strictly Come Dancing,” but at this point, it really does not seem like there is really much of a story here when it comes to this competition. Instead, we think that the story this time around is based on the […]
Call the Midwife, Strictly Come Dancing
Admittedly, we’re not a regular viewer of “Strictly Come Dancing,” largely thanks to being an American writer who already takes on “Dancing with the Stars.” One thing that probably is a little more lost on us is just how popular this series truly is on the BBC.

The television host, known by many as the former voice of “The Xtra Factor,” was declared today the winner of “Strictly Come Dancing” 2014 alongside her partner Pasha Kovalev. This victory was one that many fans of the British […]
BBC One, Strictly Come Dancing
Even thought the American “Dancing with the Stars” has been over for some time this fall, the British original in “Strictly Come Dancing” today came to a close with a winner that not too many people outside of Britain may know by name: Model Abbey Clancy. She won the competition this season with Aljaž Skorjanec, a […]
Strictly Come Dancing, The X Factor
This is clearly the start that “Strictly Come Dancing” was hoping for on BBC, but not exactly what “The X Factor” UK was hoping to have: Another tightly-contested battle between two shows that have fought brutally the past couple of years for domination. This Saturday, the battle was so close between the two series that […]
