00:00I've just been down onto the slightly damp streets of Manchester to ask people about Strictly Come Dancing.
00:05And that's because shows like that can be said to have gone out of fashion.
00:09However, it still retains really good viewer numbers.
00:11So, with the recent allegations about Strictly, we want to know whether people are still watching it,
00:15whether they intend to keep watching it, or whether what's happened recently has put them off.
00:19It's nice to see ordinary people learn to dance virtually professionally, with professional dancers.
00:26And it's lovely to watch.
00:29I think you're in charge of what makes you angry, so you're responsible if you're angry.
00:34It's not the other person, is it? You're in charge of that.
00:37So I think you need to take accountability if they're shouting at people and kicking people.
00:40I think if you sign up for one of these shows, you get paid good money for it.
00:46The professional dancers want to win. It's for their benefit as well.
00:51And they have to be hard to get the results.
00:55If a teacher kicks in a show with her kids, they get sacked. So I'd sack them.
