I am really keeping my fingers crossed, I know he was in the UK recently and has gone back to Miami now, but he told me a while back that he would jump at the chance given the opportunity. He said that he is a good friend of Bruno so would have a word!!
As you know he judges top international comps, so is more than qualified to do the job - I think he would be a breath of fresh air to the show. lets hope

I totally agree with this. Loraine was a wonderful dancer.

I loved Len's goodbye. I notice they used the same song as used in John Wood and Anne (now Gleave)'s segue which I've always loved.

I loved it too Ann, it was very moving, I felt. I loved the music and the simplicity of the choreography, just lovely.

Will miss Len, it won't be quite the same! Not a fan of Karen Hardy, hope she doesn't replace him.

Thank God he's going, grumpy old git.

I really loved the pro dance tribute.

And even if he hadn't and had just chosen to do the US version who can blame him. Lots of older people feel the cold. A warm climate eases all sorts of aches and pains from respiratory conditions to rheumatism. Give the choice of working the autumn into winter months in Borehamwood or Hollywood - which would you pick?

Good luck to him, I say. Know what I would pick, that's for sure !

Thank you Len, you will be missed on SCD. Enjoy your time in the US and come over to SCD for a Christmas special or something.

Seeeeven!

he will be missed but the right time for him to go if he was finding both shows too much, I wonder if part of the reason was because he wasn't happy that Tess and Claudia get more pay than he does

Yes, alliteration! This should be a major consideration in the selection process!
Herr Llambi's Lament. Another reason to pick this very strict(ly) German judge.

No, it has to be more than just alliteration which disqualifies everybody other than Darcy with Bussell's Bustle! See, it's destiny!

It would have been good if they could have included a few professionals from previous series (with a couple of exceptions of course )

I loved the tribute dance to Len and he looked like he really enjoyed it too. Great finish for his last show. Goodbye Len.

Does anyone know the title of the song and the artist??. I love the song.

Whaaat no Jordans??.

Indeed

I haven't read through the entire posts so forgive if discussed already.

I agree with some, Len has been an annoyance sometimes this series, but, enjoy your semi reitrement Len good luck to ya.

Couldn't they make Craig head judge? Or Darcy? I wouldn't mind if they put Karen Hardy in as lead as I liked her, but, there are quite a few pro dancers there who could fit the bill, even Anton!
