I think we've had enough American imports onto a show that, at its best, is essentially British.

Tom is so classy though.
Hosts = Graham Norton and Claudia 
ITT = Ian Waite.
Judges = Craig, Karen Hardy, Bruno and Sisco Gomez from SYTYCD.
And definately, DEFINATELY no Tess-bot.

If Bruce weren't the compere I wouldn't have to keep pressing my mute button! I just can't listen to a word he says.
Claudia is great on ITT but I think she's too hyper for SCD. Also I don't think the two females thing works at all - (I presume we're keeping Tess?) I love Julian Clary and I think Graham Norton would be good.

^ that. I don't know who would replace him though.
I don't think I care, actually.
I don't any think of the presenters bring much to the main show, and I seem to be incapable of appreciating or acknowledging this unique quality/talent/presence that Bruce has.
Tess just does my head in. I don't know Claudia (who is on a different planet as far as intellect is concerned) manages to avoid tripping her up or something,

Totally agree JLC would be great. I also loved the show last year when Brucie was ill and Tess and Claudia took over. The Sunday shows do not seem long enough to let that show so much, I LOVE Claudia

GREAT IDEA
I reckon Anton for Bruce's job, and Erin for Tess'. And the intro dance on the stage would work better than it does now!! Case solved!
raham Norton.Bruce MUST go...he's embarrassing
Jason Manford. Lee Mack. Ian Waite. Jenny Eclair.
Someone who can take the p!ss out of it. ESPECIALLY if it is going to continue down this ridiculous showdance/tat route.

Can Erin present though? But I agree it could work and I don't see Erin wanting to stick around as a pro for much longer

Graham would be my choice as well.
I really think they should really think long and hard about who they bring in as a replacements because so far they've not done a very good job.
The results show isn't all that good with Tess and Claudia and we're still getting a lot of negative feedback regarding Alisha. There are a lot of people on here who like to "moan" about SCD yet when it's changed then start complaining about the changes.
A LOT of people on here watch DWTS and said that the show would improve if they incorporated more of that show's format. Well I'm sorry but, all the props and faffing around at the beginning of the routines haven't really improved my enjoyment of the show whatsoever.
A LOT of people on her were also calling for the DO to be changed and again we're in a position where a "popular, crape" dancer is going to start pushing out the better ones.
And don't even get me started on the AT being relegated to being just another dance. I always felt it made the SFs special and I always looked forward to seeing how the celebs used all their dance skills into performing the AT.
I just wish at times people would just "enjoy" SCD for what it is and stop moaning about the things that made it so popular in the first place.
*rant over*
Angela Rippon or Michael Aspel....Anton is also a good choice but suffers from verbal diarrhoea at times

I suspect that newly married Erin may well be planning to retire in order to start a family - which could well be why she did the nude photo shoot - a final attempt to make a wad of money before fading into family life.
Anton is first choice, he has a lovely personality and would emphathise with the dancers.
Claudia is now getting on my wick with her little girl act and getting things wrong. I thought she and Tess did a great job when Brucie was ill, but am not impressed with them on the Sunday show, sadly.
I think that if someone new were brought in as the main presenter ahead of Tess, solely for the sake of having a male presenter, she'd be entitled to be furious and offended and it would definitely be sexism. Surely even the Beeb wouldn't be silly enough to risk having again the kind of outcry there was over Alesha replacing Arlene?
In the show Tess and Claudia did last year when Bruce was ill and also in the results show, Tess keeps things on track and moving, whereas Bruce's presenting style is about being an entertainer and therefore is more about him personally. Tess doesn't make it about her, she just presents the show, and I think that's what's needed front-of-house.
Claudia is fine backstage: she always has such a great rapport with the pros and celebs and her style works much better backstage than Tess' more detached manner. Besides, why bother establishing the Tess/Claudia partnership if they're not going to continue with it?
