I noticed Lionel Blair sitting behind Ronnie Corbett on Sat . I think he would be very good to take over when Bruce retires. He is passionate about dancing and used to have his own dance troupe.
Why do we have to have some doddery old bloke??? He would be just as bad as Brucie walking down those steps at the beginning and do his little shoe shuffle...ugh
I thought Tess did a brilliant job and it just shows what a (much) younger presenter can do. It's not a comedy show and you don't necessarily need someone who knows about dance. A half decent professional presenter has just shown us exactly how bad Bruce is now and it's time to put all these geriatric guys to rest. And I speak as a geriatric myself lol.
As much as I love Lionel Blair, I think scd needs to think in terms of younger livelier presenters to give the show a lift - it's all got a bit twee at the moment. If it's not careful it is going to fall into the same trap that the old Come Dancing finally faded into.

Please, please...NOT Lional Blair
That would be going from bad to worse....I would lose the will to live
It made me giggle seeing Lionel looking enviously over Ronnie's shoulder. I'm sure he blagged his way into the studio on the vain hope he would be asked to stand in at the last minute, incase Ronnie, for example should slip coming down the staircase

It was truly hilarious, yes. Talk about desperate!
