Strictly: Competition or Entertainment?
This week, Kevin and Joanne are joined by their Patreon community for a conversation seeking to answer a questions that's long burned bright in the Strictly Come Dancing community - it is a serious dance competition, or an entertainment show?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is a pleasure to be found in knowing ahead of time when surprises on tv shows are to take place. But programmes are designed for drama, also, and should be experienced as such when possible. Theatre is back, and the world is so excited. The artform has to grow all over again, but with the will of fans and performers behind it, theatre can be rescued and can come back brighter than ever. Very often, we put far too much emphasis and importance upon powering through a challenge, when in reality, it's far better for everyone if you take time out to reflect and recover. The foundation of Strictly Come Dancing is that it appears to be a competition, but the ultimate judges are the public who vote.BEST MOMENTS
