Honestly, I'm not a great fan of JLC by any means, but he was so enthusiastic about the whole thing and really became quite knowledgable over the series.... much more impressively, he danced twice once with "Killer" and once with Len on the night of the final.... preserve us from dear old Clauds trying that even after 3 series of Len's masterclasses

Hehehe, oh I don't know. She'd give it a bash. She'd know to make sure she was aligned with Len's boney knob, not to have fungus fingers and make it yum, yum pig's bum.

It sounds like the original ITT was much more fun, random and maverick which is what I'd liek to see more of, but at the same time, I do love a lot of the current ITT features - the Friday panel (when it's done well), am liking the new favourite ever dance feature, adore Len's masterclass etc. So perhaps there's a happy medium of JLC-ness and Claud-ness within one bumper show extrodinaire !

I'd not want to lose Claudia, JRC is a much more 'marmite' kind of person and I can't see how he'd be that into the dancing or how he'd cope with talk about costumes etc. but I certainly do think ITT needs a complete re-think.

I'd love Claudia to have maybe a few more regulars to bounce off like Mark Frith and maybe even Pauline Quirke or that fabulous Irish lady who pops up sometimes and wants to be Lilia ( ) sitting with her on the sofa and just gossiping about the show in a natural way. The Stricly Panel. When they're not interviewing the couples on the sofa, fill up the time with sheer Strictly geekery. Oh, and more Anton. As I said above, more Anton. Much more Anton.

I think the show needs to be much more 'maverick', maybe taking a camera and just gate crashing the trainign rooms, doing silly items of the sort The Big Braekfast used to do, maybe even a game or fake judging panel with padles. I most definitely want to see more backstage stuff from the Saturday show. Also a round up of Strictly news in the papers, vox pox's on the street...urgh, the possibilities are endless !

Let's do a mutiny and take over ITT ! Baracade ourselves in Television Centre !”

lets do it ... (can we barricade Mark in with us too <blushes>)

For God's Sake !

I don't believe they've let Leigh Francis back on screen again. Oh my aching sides. Wasn't Friday bad enough ?

At least there was a Mel C clip. I was starting to worry about her absence.

Thanks very much ! Interesting stuff.

For me, not to my taste. JRC is a bit too 'ironic', there's an air of p*ss taking. Claud all the way for me.

The features were so much better though - much longer, and I learnt more about Anton there than I ever have before !

Michael probably watches the show, and he just might be a great guest but he's still on there for an ulterior motive and that's what makes me cross. There are enough venues for promotion out there already, ITT is supposed to be about SCD and it's being hijacked. ”

Actually, I think Michael looked a bit irritated when his interview was interrupted to show his new video. He was FAR more interested in talking about Strictly! He's definitely a big fan of the show and had some interesting things to say (for instance about Matt having had an acting lesson).

It's a pity his interview was so short. I love Michael Ball and he's always a good laugh and doesn't take himself too seriously.

God help us! Now we're going to have to watch the great british public watching SCD on home made videos.

Oh no, that's more like it for me ! As Claud would say, I did a star jump !

A more fan orientated feature, should be very amusing and highly geeky. Hurrah !
