Silly, fun BBC survey

Question: Add together the number of completed series of Strictly Come Dancing
and the number of completed years since the BBC was first founded.

What number do you get?

    I get: 95 or 94

    (2010 - 1922) + 7 = 95 0r 94 (if this is not a completed year since BBC founded).


    EDIT: I am going for 94. BBC founded 18th October 1922 - so not yet a completed year for 2010.

    Any other ideas???

    Yeah I went with wiki that says 1927, which would be 82 completed years. Add the 7 completed series of Stictly that'd be 89?

  • Just to chuck a spanner in the works: if the comp ends on 28th Oct....and BBC started (by some accounts) on 18th Oct, anyone answering in the last week of the comp will have an extra year :D
    Back on it!
  • i think it's 94..

    it says when it was first founded.. which was in 1922.
    Thanks to everyone for the comp links
