If Bruce retires next year, how about getting rid of Len, having just three judges and rebranding the show as Dancing With The Stars?

It would avoid just 'replacing' Bruce as it would re-launch/reboot the whole thing and bring it in with the American version.

I noticed Bruce fluffed/hesitated over every line tonight and I think this really should be his last year and, although I like him, Len is getting grumpier every show.

Hang on ...

Right, fire away ...

No way... not up for this 'rebranding'... we invented it!!

Bruce messed up a lot tonight, but I can't imagine the show without him and Tess

In general I say no to rebranding.

I mean, we are the original of all the Strictly/DWTS series and i do feel we should try and stick with it.

Theyve updated/rebranded by changing the pro line up, the judging line up, allowing props, introducing new dances (either as show dances or actual weekly dances), changes sets etc but its still generally very similar to the original concept.

My gripe with three judges as opposed to four is that I feel (certainly up until this year till alesha went mental with her scoring) the judges marks although different, tended to balance each other out as they all looked for different things (Craig story, musicality and technique, arlene footwork and arm placement, len general technique and overall 'feel' of dances, bruno the entertainment and maintaning the elements throughout, and alesha looking for entertainment value and general 'looking good' as well as partly on technique). I feel with three judges there is a tendency for two judges to 'outrank' the third, in a way.
