'Top Gear' secret code mocks 'Strictly'

The programme's soundtrack was overdubbed with dot-dash beeps last week, tapping out the message: "Strictly Come Dancing is crap."
"I know Morse code when I hear it so I played it back and worked out what they were saying. It’s typical Top Gear to slag off Strictly - can you imagine [host Jeremy] Clarkson in a sequined top?" a viewer told The Sun.
A representative for the show said the coded messages will return this week, but cautioned that they should not be taken seriously.
"It's all just a bit of fun. Top Gear is known for being irreverent so this is just the producers' idea of a joke," said the BBC insider.
