... would you change about SCD (as it currently stands) if you were in overall control? You can change anything relating to the main shows and/or ITT. you might want to change a major production element or something minor. Note the production budget is the same.

so, what would you change and more importantly, what to?

Show us proper training footage
Let the pro/celeb choose the music
Give Vicky Gill a bigger budget (or get someone else in)
Get rid of Tess .. possibly replace her with Anton
Pension off Len and replace him with Karen/Erin/Flavia

1) ditch the dance off - it should be down to a public vote

2) film proper training VT's the crap we get atm is pointless

3) film the results show live

4) stick to the 5 ballroom and 5 latin dances until the quarter finals, then introduce AT and AS

5) I cant think of a 5th - sorry

1. Pros and contestants pick music, within reason -- with assistance if required
2. Pro and contestant decide theme / props -- with assistance if rqd
3. Training vts show training
4. Costumes neither split nor trip up the dancers
5. Boy George is never allowed to sing again

OK I'm gong to cheat and cut and paste

1. Pros and contestants pick music from contestants' music collections so they know them. If they haven't got a musical collection and appreciation for music they should not be on the show.

2. No props - just dancing based on the music. So no faffin abaht in the beginning or the end. Full 90 seconds of dancing

3. No guest artists. Just save money and feature the SCD band.

4. Pros choose dance order based on the age and personality of the contestant.

5. No Whirling Dervish on Acid Cameraman and the whole body must be visible for 90% of the time. 5 second minimum scenes.

Go back to how it was in 2008 and before - I think series 6 was the last time they danced without props, came onto the floor from behind the curtain, and showed proper training footage.

1 Get rid of props - boats / telephone boxes / swings / cars / tables / cakes !!
2. Let the Pro's choose the songs / music
3. For the boys, black flared trousers and shirt for Latin , tails for ballroom.
4. No audience clapping through every performance including showdances until they're finished.
5. Dance off to be kept.
