COMPLETELY AGREE!

Every year we ask for it, every year we want it.....and no-one ever listens!

It would be brilliant - the perfect end to a series that so many of us spend huge amounts of our time being so completely invested in, and it would just tie the ends of the tinsel.

oh come on Beeb, it IS Cutlermas, after all!

pleeeeaaasssee?

The logistics argue against it. In previous years the Christmas Special was filmed a couple of days after the final, it wouldn't be fair to take a big chunk out of the very tight schedule they had. This year the special is all in the can already.

You could film an ITT this year, but difficult to justify studio or schedule time for a one off. It's not just Claudia plus winners, there's a whole crew to book for a half hour show and it's a week when a lot of crew will be on leave. That's how schedulers plan. ITT is a slot running for several weeks, crew and set fresh each day. It's probably way over the normal budget for that time slot. For instance, the regulars like 'eggheads' are recorded weeks in advance, several a day.

What would be much more likely to be made, and a useful hour or so slot filler over the disrupted Christmas schedule would be series review. Include a few minutes sofa time with each finalist plus snatched backstage footage from the final. Minimal new material, everything else a few hours work for VT. Maybe enough of a draw to justify a BBC1 slot, say early New Year's Eve?

I was thinking there should be another ITT as well. An hour-long, post-final round-up with all the finalists, the judges and Karen's Choreography Corner.

YES YES YES!!!!!

I have never understood why there isn't some sort of follow up. They could probably do it on the following Sunday ,in empty (Dire) Results Show slot. I would definately watch.

Are you listening BBC?

Who am I trying to kid...of course they aren't

Absolutely.
Am hour long special with all the best bits from main show and ITT
Including the james and arten rumba!

I've a;ways wanted a ITT after the final!

Yes i've always felt like there should be one ITT show after the final.... an interview with the winners... backstage gossip.... discussion on the choreography/showdance etc.

It would be a real treat.
