It would be interesting to explain 'Strictly Come Dancing' as an annual festival of human fertility. The gods and goddesses being there in the guise of the professionals. The celebrities ordained as priests and priestesses coupling with their immortal partners. Observe how, week by week, the rapport grows between each celebrity and their allocated mentor - how the inhibitions of the mortal world are gradually shucked away as contact between the two becomes more intimate. And to one side, as on their own particular Olympus, the Four Judges who ritually point the bone toward the chosen ones, the sacrificial victims whose fate shall be determined by distant unseen hands. The dying deities with their human consorts in the dying season of the year. francis cameron, oxford, 27 november 2011
