Screaming Audience On Strictly Come....

[Barquentine]

Am I the grumpiest misery in Britain or does all the incessant screaming from the Strictly audience detract from others' enjoyment of the amazing talents on show...the dancers, the lighting, the music, the judges and even Bruce's brilliant jokes? The noise just is deafening and really spoils my viewing pleasure with its piercing, agonising drowning-out of all other elements. Can anyone advise how I can get the programme-makers to tone it down, even just a shade?

Bruce's brilliant jokes??????????????????????

[douglas9401]

It's expected nowadays, it's what they do in America so it's kewell.
You're not the grumpiest misery in Britain by a long shot by the way. :)

[Barquentine]

I was being ironic!!!!!!!!

[douglas9401]

No shiite Sherlock.

[Barquentine]

Ironic about Bruce's jokes I meant. Do you think he writes them himself?!!!!

Screamilng is part of the programmes - ie X-Factor. They have a guy standing off camera waving his arms about encouraging the audience to scream and scream and scream again. It's meant to be real and spontaneus but it is fake - just like lots of the programmes.

I don't mind Strictly so much but they go over the top on X factor I think, I often cant hear what the judges are saying.

X-Factor, Loose Women, Paul O'Grady show.!!
I detest all the screaming .

I couldn't believe it when I just saw this post as I am watching Strictly and I had just thought to myself what a row it was, thought it was just me but I honestly have to keep pressing mute on my telly when all these shows are on!

From what I could remember of the old "Come Dancing", the audience used to yell then at the best bits.

I hope Natalie goes this week! she is full of herself imo

[pugthedog]

gina i agree with you

[dunnitall]

It is mass hysteria as I see it! You won't get programmers to tone it down unfortunately, it's the norm it seems, hysteria is good nowadays! If only they knew how irritating it is.

[xstitcher]

Sorry I haven't even noticed it.

[hc4361]

I agree with you - hate the clapping throughout the dance, too.

And I agree with Gina. Natalie to go, although I expect it will be Susanna this week, or Mark.

Patrick was sublime. A fab show this week.

When are they going to start the two dances per week? They are a bit late with that this year, I think

[xstitcher]

I probably will notice it now. I forgot to say that when they had the football world cup in South Africa those horns they blew constantly drove me so batty that I finally watched without any sound......can't do that very well with Strictly thought. I think something was finally done however because they were driving the rest of the world mad.

What screaming would that be? Had taken the dogs over the hill and fell asleep in the recliner. My BH, who had put it on, was also pushing zeds. Woke up for Susannah though.

Agree you are not the grumpiest I will join you, the screaming is deafening and spoils not only Strictly but lots of other programmes The guest singers and acts on Strictly are spoiled with the clapping and cheering when the dancers come on why can't they wait until the act is finished and then applaud.

If you look at the first of the related questions immediately underneath this post you will see they were complaining about the exact same thing two years ago - so nothing has changed!

Horrible programme and even name does not make sense.Does anyone give a monkeys who wins ? who would admit to caring who wins ?
