You have to appreciate Len is now a BBC "Star." So he's allowed or even encouraged to be like that.
He's already presented a couple of dance-related documentaries.
One on the Harland & Wolff built Titanic in Norther Ireland, for which his experience as a "failed welding apprentice" for them, never having worked outside of London, was considered just right for the job as presenter.
A current one about "remembered holidays," (fifteen naffin' programmes) and one to come with Lucy Worsley, (history of dancing).
This noticeably erudite font of knowledge, (of apparently, everything?) could become a regular documentary presenter. I can only presume it's a combination of his perceived popularity and what they pay him, that is the big attraction for the BBC.
But who'd knock it in his position? Good luck to him. Perhaps that's what's affecting his head?
I like watching the look on his face when either Craig or Bruno "have the camera."
Mind you, those two are just as bad, when the positions are reversed.
