When I read thread titles like this I suddenly realise that Bruce isn't so bad after all...

I wouldn't read anything into it at all. He was on ITT last year after all, and actually was quite interesting in what he said about how in order to dance well you needed to feel comfortable with what you were wearing. He was particularly unimpressed about what they had given Cherie Lunghi to wear.
I could actually imagine him filling in quite well for Bruce on a one-off basis, but being the host permanently is a different situation and I don't think he'd be the man for the job. On a one-off basis I think you'd see him quite reined in, on a permanent basis you wouldn't be able to keep him quiet.

Lionel? No No No!!
The Tess/Claudia combo worked really well on Saturday but if a new male presenter was brought in I would vote for Aled Jones - he comes across as friendly and modest, he's a past contestant, and he's under pension age! |

Lionel Blair is about the same age as Brucie-babes - so if Bruce retires (which I hope he doesn't) - then so should Lionel - actually saw Lionel live a few years ago and he should have been pensioned off years ago - he actually made my flesh crawl when seeing him live. If you have to have a male presenter - then the list is endless. Favourites would be:
Paul O'Grady (so funny) Graham Norton (totally irreverent) Aled Jones (experienced presenter who has the same knowledge of dance as one of the judges) Julian Clary (for the same reason) |

O'Grady or Norton would meen the end of SCD for me. I'd rather have bloody Ant & Dec <Shiver> Can't believe I've actually typed that.

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.
Not a good replacement fro Brucie imo. |

USED to be. He's not been on TV for years.
Crikey, people will be wanting Tom O'Connor next. lets just say he is dentally challenged and the whistling through his dentures plays havoc for the sound guy! Now, Tom O Connor, there's a thought

Lionel Blair is very knowledgeable about dance - he choreographed a couple of movies. He's also a better dancer than Brucie - and imo not such a bighead (ok I know many will disagree with that).
It's not that long since I saw him as the childcatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - and for a man who was then around mid 70's he's very agile. Having said all that I think if Bruce retires, they should be looking for someone younger, though not necessarily young. It doesn't have to be a song and dance man - I wouldn't mind seeing Tess and Claudia take on the roles they filled on Saturday on a permanent basis. |

If Lionel Blair had leant over any more on Saturday night to make sure he was seen by the camera he would have ended up sitting on Ronnie Corbett's lap! That was such a scream!

When I saw him almost dislocating his neck trying to get in to camera shot on Saturday in Brucie's absence, I just kept thinking Alan Partridge dancing in his imagination for that BBC commissioning editor guy. 'Do you want me to lapdance for you? My peep-hole pringle is modelled on an SAS balaclava, sweet feet ooooh ...'
Brrrrrrrrrrr, I'd sooner chew off my own toes than watch Lionel Blair present ANYTHING. His luvviness overdose would beat Forsyth for the compulsion to reach for the fast forward button. |
