One more night would hardly hurt, though.
I've always thought an hour long special post-final would be a good idea. It would make the winning couples interview so much more personal than the ones they do for the media world elsewhere., imo.
There's a lot they could do with it too, between interviewing the winners, the other finalists and playing the best bits montages (of the couples and Strictly/ITT on a whole)
One of the sad thing about the final (apart from the fact it's the last one of the series) is that there's so little time between the winner being announced and Bruce and Tess declaring the series over that we don't get to hear much from the winning couple. Or when we do, they're normally extremely emotional. A post-fnal interview, once they've had chance to digest it a little more would be quite special, imo.
I can see where people would fear it would fall flat, but I don't think they'd have much to lose. After all, those that don't want it wouldn't have to tune in.
