    I have no idea if I'm right but I've always felt Anton is given people who won't go far so he can be on standby (understudy) to take over if Bruce takes ill. That's what I think anyway but I'm probably wrong.

    Brucie was ill and they did not ask Anton. I think they can shuffle things around quickly, they don't need Anton on standby 'just in case'. In my opinion Anton's only qualification is looking a bit like Brucie's secret lovechild anyway.

    From what I've heard Louis actually tires out Flavia and despite Victoria's early problems she can also put the hours in without flagging.

    Just what we'd expect from Olympians.

    I thought it was the opposite with Louis and Flavia. The article I read Louis said that he is practically dead after training, but Flav stays on at the studio rehearsing herself. :D He said that she had much more stamina than he did I'm sure.

    That made me laugh, he could be his son. I do remember them getting Ronnie Corbett in to cover before. I also prefer the Sunday night shows with Claudia and Tess and would prefer them to host the main show to be honest with Bruce doing only the results.

    They do have a contractual minimum. They have to be available to film training footage and provide fodder for the clips montages they show.

    They may just faff about but they do have to turn up on occasion to fulfil their obligation to the BBC.
