Len's comment to Abbey
petertard

At first it just seemed a bit sleazy, but then I remembered that was what Saville did, invite people to his room at the BBC. I wonder if Len realized that too late, and that was why he appeared to have a headache.

I don't think for one moment Len is like Saville it was just a silly comment

It must be a headache for programmes like SCD making sure that presenters, judges and contestants aren't likely to go on trial for historic sex crimes.

I believe Abbey is a fully grown woman. I believe it was a funny comment rather than sleazy. I believe this OP is scraping the barrel.

(Not up to MLK standard I know)

I know that. It was a silly comment, but it misfired.

I thought it was a bit Yewtree-ish

FGS Len has used that for years he said exactly the same to Alesha after her waltz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Py8fFLniQ

Inappropriate but it's recycled thing for him to say.
I still remember him say the same exact thing to Chelsee Healey when she competed on the show and the same thing to some female contestants at DWTS over the years.......

What did he say? It obviously made no impression on me at all!

Did he invite Anne Widdicombe?

He clearly needs a new script writer, hopefully they are not being paid by the laugh.
What name??

I think a comment with any serious or sinister intent would not be made so overtly in a TV show.

Didn't bother me and crucially so long as it didn't bother Abbey then no problem.

He wishes it were sleazy. He is so old that it is just a little awkward.

It just seemed to be a joke, not a particularly good one, but nothing to get worked up about.

Oh I thought Len's comment was harmless, just a bit of fun. I sometimes cringe at some of the comments from the Italian judge, who, for the life of me, I just cannot remember his name!!!!

He's said it before apparently and nobody complained so I can't see what the problem is. It was obviously a joke but as has been said unfortunately these days you cannot just joke about anything without fear of offending someone.
