    Exploitation?

    BBC3's latest idea - Dancing on Wheels!

    Think Strictly Come Dancing in wheelchairs, f.fs!

    It all sounds like exploiting disabled people to squeeze the last few drops out of a popular entertainment format.
    Or, could it be wheelchair dancers taking the opportunity to promote what they do?
    Probably a bit of both, but let's face it, you'd have to be a desperate celebrity to sign up to it wouldn't you? It's taking a big risk that the public won't hate you for taking advantage of disabled people in a desperate hope to revive your career.

    I suspect I'll watch one episode at least though. It's gonna be pure car-crash TV I think.

    (can't wait to see what headline The Sun comes up with...)

    Isn't all reality TV, pretty much by definition? If it weren't, it wouldn't have the ratings...
