Strictly Out of Order

Now until this point I have kept silent about my obsession with BBC's Strictly Come Dancing programme on a Saturday/Sunday night, but I can keep silent no longer.

This weekend's programme was an absolute outrage with the flat footed John Sergeant staying in the competition and a brilliant dancer in the form of Cherie Lunghi being booted off.

What is the voting public thinking? It is supposed to be a DANCE competition.

I ususally stick up for my fellow journalists, but I can stick up for him no more. He has to go. There are some brilliant dancers left now and if he is voted in another week more - it will be a travesty.

Yes, I know there are serious things like a credit crunch, economic turmoil etc going on in the world, but shows like Strictly take your mind off reality for a short while and are great for venting frustration by shouting at the screen.

So come on everyone, please don't vote him in for another week. It is painful to watch and is spoiling the show completely.
