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!
