Ellie is joined by Ewan to talk about the role of reality TV narrative shaping in Strictly, and how it’s all on show this year.
NOTE: We recorded this last Saturday morning, before the news about Amy not being able to participate in the rest of the series. I think the points still hold together.
Topics discussed:
- Charlie Brooker on The Edit: https://youtu.be/BBwepkVurCI?si=IVKX3JFjEcsBnDfb
- Parking the bus
- Has the show changed how it treats non-dancers?
- Should the Pro casting be like The Red Arrows?
- Working conditions on Strictly (recorded before Amy withdrew)
- Big questions answered!
