I can't claim to be the person who first thought of this but after some twitter fun on the subject I thought I would bring this here.

What would be the implications of an independent Scotland on your Saturday night viewing preferences.

Would Scots be able to vote ?
Would Scots be able to see Strictly at all.

Perhaps Scotland would make their own version of Strictly along the lines of some other countries.

What do you think?

Who could be the Scottish Bruce & Tess.

Should the 'Yes' campaign be made to be upfront with their plans for an independent Strictly

Sir Brucie in a kilt and Lulu for sure.

I think a Strictly consisting of Jackie Bird, Tony Roper, that one Gaelic newsreader lady with a wonky eye, Dougie Donnelly, Chick Young & The Krankies would be pretty great.

Music by The Singing Kettle, and Salsa, Argentine Tango and Foxtrot being replaced by Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant and The Slosh.

The suggestion is there will be a Sterling Zone like the Euro Zone, so I hope there will be a Strictly Zone!

I suggested on twitter that the Scottish version could have Barrowman as he has Scottish parents but that didn't seem to go down too well.

Oops forgot about her - probably Ella, seeing as she dresses all sixties like Claud

And i guess then we need a Zoe, which I'd suggest Camille the barmaid, as the actress playing her looks a little like Zoe

I am Scottish and can't bear Scottish TV (there is little of it anyway). I would hope that if Scotland did come independent, we would still see Strictly.

There could have Britainīs best singer Shuna Scott Sendall on the "Sunday" show.

http://youtu.be/G5_6q3GtnHQ

I saw her in full voice from the third row of this (just in front of Dame Kiri) and was open mouthed in awe ... and I looked behind and up at Dame Kiri and we smiled at each other ...

Isla St Clair!!! Triple threat - singer, actress and presenter - she could do everything!!

Glenn Michael is available I believe, maybe he'll bring Rusty along. None o' that Krankie pish, the dirties.

Was going to post on the thread in the Politics section, but it's chock full of scaries and they'll chib me I know it.

There's an obvious answer to this.
The programme will be re-named, "The Strictly White Heather Club."

The dances will be all Scottish traditional reels, (swords being the only props allowed).

Sadly, Andy Stewart is no longer around, as he'd be a shoe-in as host.

Well of course it is a serious issue of course but then so is the future of Strictly.

Andy Stewart and Moria Anderson were going to be my choice too. I hadn't realised they were no more. I thought they had just disappeared as the go to NYE team because someone at the BBC had ventured over the border and discovered that the castle/croft dwelling, Tam O'shanter wearing, haggis eating, bonnie Scotland Scots no longer existed (if indeed they ever did outside of romantic fiction)

Andy Stewart died twenty years ago, but I think Moira Anderson is still around.

Dougie Donnelly, would be ideal as the MC, he is "just the right shade of beige," which is all that's required for the job.

Laughing too much at this thread . I was in the twitter conversation with Jan about it earlier and suggested Carol Smilie for Tess, not sure on a Brucie replacement but NO TO BARROWMAN!

Hugh Edwards is interviewing Alex Salmond now on BBC News channel. I am waiting for him to be asked about the future of Strictly.

You wouldn't be able to have Dave Arch & his wonderful wonderful orchestra so that will need to be addressed.

It's on BBC so why should you if you no longer pay the t.v. licence, and if the BBC close down all the Scottish Stations, you'd be O.K. if you lived near the border.
