He repeats the same ones over and over.

I don't know how many years now he has said in Blackpool 'if you were a stick of rock you would have talent written right through you'. It's never ending, how many times do we have to be subjected to the same.

Also the pickled walnuts, enough now!

Good point. We should be careful what we wish for.

Hee! It sure was.

I wonder if he's decided to dabble in subtext?
A comment on the whole state of the program perhaps?

I get the idea that he's just got a random phrase generator under the desk

Yeah. He forgot to enable the parental guidance module on it this week!

Apparently the bbc have to issue an apology for Len's muffled 'swearing' last night, so clearly yes! He's run out of adjectives - he's at a loss for words, well not swear words.

Len has been reduced to the same old stock phrases and in between times shouting down Craig and slagging off his comments and scores.
Enough already.
Should have been sacked a long time ago.
All to willing to dish it out but totally unable to take it.
For me the power of head judge has gone to his head.
Time to go.

Keith Clifton was a judge on the Humber and Lincs Children in Need version of Strictly, with the local TV and radio presenters.
Comments were a bit Craig-esque in the clips I saw, but he was very good.

Bruno was lost of words a few times on Saturday too and ended up just talking nonsense. Then again, he probably always did that.

Of all the judges, considering he's 'head judge', Len seems the most redundant this series. He just has nothing of any use at all to say to anyone. And, yeah, the less said about the 'urinal' comment the better :/

I thought the Urinal comment was worse than any mumbled half-swear.

As Darcey has (apparantly) said she would leave if Len went - then male and female new judges.

Keith Clifton and Karen Hardy. ??

I completely missed the half-swear - knew nothing about it until Zoe apologised and brought attention to it (like most viewers, I should think).

Len goes, Darcey goes too - I could live with that, she's also not exactly contributing much of any use or interest to the show.

I thought the 'pickled walnuts' references was product placement for Lens other job.

" If you prick me, do I bleed ? " is becoming a new one of his - what the heck does that mean ?? I liked the Urinal joke though

i think it means a rather whiney: 'i've got feelngs too you know' although he always says it like he hasn't...

a run through with a rapier would be preferable.

Just shows you can never please everyone. The first time he did the Shylock line, I thought it was genuinely witty. Second and third repeats less so. But I simply didn't understand the urinal point and how it was supposed to describe the lifts. I lack the equipment, I guess

My favourite game in autumn is watching Len's critique on DWTS on the Monday and SCD on the Saturday, usually 3 or 4 times a series he copies the exact same phrases within a week!

Anton would make a great judge. Very informed with quick humour. Either as a judge or presenter...

I don't think we've heard 'shut the door and call me Mary' lately. It used to be one of his favourites,
