I'm still wondering about Len and (in this case) Giovanni - these grumpy outbursts are so unpleasant and spoil the (spirit of the) show much more than Craig looking like evil personified and gasping 'disaaaster'. If there are rules (for dances, performance, music etc.) surely everybody should be aware of them, and it would be enough for a judge to say calmly, you know the rules, you're not following them, you won't get the points. And if Len has such a problem with some things, could he state his views before the series starts and maybe agree some points with the other judges and producers? (Or retire, if it upsets him so much...)”
Well he is a grumpy homophobic old man who hasn't had a new idea since 1970
HOWEVER I have noticed he really isn't walking very well lately, if you look at that " strictly" dance thing they are trying to promote he is really not moving much, in fact is favouring his right leg quite a bit,
Given the increased ??? grumpiness I wonder if he is in pain.
Nevertheless whilst I agreed with the sentiment

I felt he could have handled it a lot better, but who knows may be he had tried and that was a final warning on something he had been trying to say to Giovanni without him listening..
Craig however is employed entirely to be the pantomime baddie,he is apparently really a sweet person who does a lot for charity. He does however have dreadful taste in favourites.
