... and i say straight away no offence intended, nor do i wish to upset anyone, but sometimes strange thoughts enter my little brain!
if tragedy was to strike and one of the stars or pro dancers was to emmm suddenly waltz off to the big dance floor in the sky, would the rest of the run get pulled or would they maybe just cancel one week out of respect and then carry on?

Difficult to say, there's "big ratings at stake here." The least they could do is put it back a week.
I was surprised that the BBC didn't take action at the end of the season before last, given the progressively numerous failings of the old codger.
If he'd "died in harness," it would have been difficult for the whole show to recover at all.
It wouldn't be the same as the Tommy Cooper tragedy, as that was a "one off" show, not a series.
I have thought about this too. (So you are not the only morbid one). I had thought about it in relation to Brucie. Can you imagine if he had died during a series or worse on the live show? That would have really put a dampener on the super exuberant happy, happy, happy show.
How would the show have gone on in those circumstances? Doesn't bear thinking about. I suspect the producers are kind of relieved that they don't have to think about that any more.
Weekend at Brucie's ?

This gets my vote as post of the week (and maybe the series.) The Kristina, Natalie and Aliona bits - all brilliant!
Agreed!! Gave me a good giggle
this actually happened on the Turkish (I think) version of the show - it was called Yok Boyle Dans - Lilia was head judge - one of the celebs who was on the show, sadly passed away - out of respect the show was cancelled for one week
:D:D
That was a happy bit of nostalgia. I had such a crush on Andrew McCarthy once upon a time.
And then Tess would interview the corpse and say 'we all loved it, didn't we!'

But hey, let's not dwell on this, let's just think positive about the show's goings on. Hope this thread itself will die a death quickly.
Craig would perhaps get the '1' paddle out for the first time but Len would still give them a '7'.
If it was one of the contestants then I am sure they would cut away from the programme and cancel the Sunday one. Practically, if the person popped their clogs unexpectedly during the programme then the police could well decide the studio was a 'crime scene' - they are very fond of doing that now.
If it happened during the week the Saturday programme could turn into some sort of tribute perhaps. There would be no need of an elimination that week so they could pick up the series the following week. If the others were particularly upset they could perhaps skip elimination again and do a double elimination the following week.
I would not be surprised if someone has worked out a contingency plan.
Yes! The BBC would always have had a contingency plan. They've plenty of staff to be able to do it.
It's a bit like the preparedness of the press, when journalists have nothing better to do, they up-date the biographies, of the "dead pool."
That's just been inserted into next year's contracts.
Perfect post - astute and genuinely funny
BRILLIANT:o:D:D
It would be in bad taste for someone who is technical brain dead, to interview a corpse
If IRCC on DWTS the celebs have to undergo a medical exam to determine if they are fit enough.
It was how Jennifer Grey found out she had a tumour on her thyroid.
Haven't laughed so much in ages! Thanks:D
