Strictly Took Over Saturday Nights Tele

[renegadefm]

Non of our family likes Strictly. 

It took over Saturday nights tele, even The Wheel was cancelled, and The hit list which are staples in our family. 

Thank God for DVDS I say. 

Why does the BBC automatically assume everyone one are Strictly fans?

DVDs are old technology.

This is from 5 years ago

but sales have fallen off even more since then, especially with supermarkets pulling them from their shelves.  (Sainsbury's stopped selling them in 2021, with Tesco then dropping them from their product range the following year).  

Many (most?) film distributors no longer release new titles on DVD.

you mean the BBC somehow forces you to watch? There are other channels me old china!

For the rest of the year do they  assume everyone likes the wheel and the hit list.  The figures will I'm sure show how popular strictly is.

"It took over Saturday nights tele".

Just how many channels do you have and how many of them were "taken over"?

[barry1010]

I remember when there was only 2 channels and often there was nothing on both that appealed to me.

At least there is a bigger choice now, with TV and streaming.

We used to enjoy board games.

I might be missing you'r point here... OP.

BUT DVDs are old technology.

Gosh I'm an antique

Penny finally drops that nobody cares about a random family or what they like.

They don't assume it, they put stuff on that they think will get viewers - which it did in the millions. There are several hundred other channels to choose from.
