Does anyone see the point of Len's "Master"Class section of ITT.
The pairing of Claude (who hasn't a rhythmic bone in her body) and Len for an alleged teaching session is ludicrous.

It's not funny and it's not instructional so please delete it from the schedule.

Yes, it's probably not the best way of teaching steps, but it's brilliant entertainment!

To be fair, Claudia hams it up a lot. It is a pointless section, but it did make me smile tonight.

Well i certainly agree, its not instructional, and i admit that i groaned at its inclusion, but as it unfolded it was hilarious! i would definitley rather have had the time given over to training footage/analysis or interviews with the couples, but as len features go, it was top drawer!!

I loved it, it made me laugh out loud.

Anything innocent and charming which makes people laugh surely can't be pointless?

If the show was completely serious all the time it would become tedious. It's the little bits of comedy that keep it light hearted.

It's a bit of fun and far more entertaining than the endless "funny" video clips. The show should be re-named "computer geeks with dubious ability looking for work, with interviews when theres time after another one of our silly videos"

There's so little dancing on that to waste part of the time on this contrived comedy is a dead loss as far as I am concerned. The Beeb has lots of so called "laffter" shows on and cbeebies has shows which include slapstick and would be more suitable for Claude and her behind camera gang of guffawers.

Tonight's had me in stitches - Claudia was hilarious. Great fun - and she's a good sport to do it.

I agree, I just fail to see the point, apart from showing off Claudia's latest stilts :yawn:

Claudia treats her show, pretty much how I see the whole of SCD. An opportunity for some enjoyable entertainment.
If she treated Len and his "Masterclass" seriously, it'd be boring.
The poor old soul had difficulty standing up straight, even stick thin Claudia was too heavy for him.

If anything was pointless, it was the Vincent "awards."
Just time wasting in a programme that never manages to get everything in that was planned.

Totally agree I laughed out loud tonight - the masterclass isn't supposed to be serious and Claudia doesn't treat it as such which is why the moments they 'recreate' tend to be BIG moments either in the music or movement - thought tonight's though was something else best laugh I've had in ages

I love Lens masterclass

i dont think its meant to be instructional

Claudia and Len were both hilarous tonight and I had tears of laughter rolling down my face

Getting rid of the annoying pointless Stats man would be a better idea if you ask me

I thought it was brilliant, I cried with laughter, Len was roaring with laughter too I think Claudia should have a bigger part in the show, even take over from Tess ?

Tess is too charismatic to replace. She is also a natural in front of the camera.

Now that you have 8 or 9 celebs left in the series you need to pad the show out a bit and the masterclass does that. I was crying with laughter tonight. It was the bets yet. I really enjoy the fact that that they are recreating a piece of strictly history and you get to see clips of some of the best dances.

Totally wrong shoes, totally wrong dress - absolutley hilarious tonight. She also managed to do it without cue cards in her hand.

It also meant we had a reprieve from the Natalie and Vincent show as they apeared to dominate the evening.

Very, very funny. Tonight Len's Masterclass made my day - I love Claudia, completely zany. I wonder what she will be "taught" or attempting next week? May be a section from Chris Parker's Cape twirling Paso or Tom Chambers leap from his Showdance - the mind actually boggles.
