A question was asked this morning about why Strictly Come Dancing ahs been such as sucess. Is it not because it is one of the few middlebrow light entertainment shows left on terrestial tv?

Media people may have moved on to such cult obsessions as Little Britain but the majority of the viewing public have not.

Is this not reflected in the fact that a repeat of the Two Ronnies is to be broadcast on Christmas Day? When the Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise were originally shown on that day, TV programmers would have been sacked for contemplating showing repeats.
