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

This is not a wind up.
Alex Salmond has just been asked on the 10pm news by the BBC' political correspondent if people in an independent Scotland would be able to watch Strictly Come Dancing. ![]() I nearly fell off my chair ![]() The answer. Well not no but not yes either

Just look at the rants in the broadcasting forum about the "Not Scotand" ITV programmes.
Scotland makes up 8.4% of the UK population, so any "Independent" BBC Scotland would only get 8.4% of the licence fee. This would have to not only fund the BBC, but also goes to maintain the transmitters, radio broadcast networks etc. These would probably be a higher cost relatively than England/ Wales due to the rural nature and large areas needing to be covered. Lower costs in English areas of high population like Midlands, or London or Manchester/ Liverpool would subsidise the remote areas at present. My view is that cut off from the rest of the UK's central funding , Scottish television of all kinds would soon resemble the local TV of yesteryear. Acorn Antiques anyone ?? |

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. "Ken whit, it was a braw wee Rumba, guid shapin' and aw that pish, but fir me it didnae hae enough raunch, ken? Ah like a rumba where it seems like you're gonnae gee that wee hairy a seein'-tae, ken?" "AWA' AND SHITE YA DAFTY, THAT RUMBA WAS RIGHT PASSIONATE, SO IT WAS.

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.

Can't believe no one has suggested Frankie Boyle to present Scottish Strictly!

Alex Salmond, and Nicola Sturgeon (she's the one who looks like a Bay City Roller) plus The Krankies.
Fandabidosey! Infact- replace Dave Arch and his Orchestra with The Bay City Rollers! (A gentleman is a man who can play the accordion but doesn't) Pity that Rikki Fulton no longer with us, I could imagine the Rev. I. M. Jolly as a judge. |
