Yeah, fair enough - he didn't do that previously, did he?

You're right, he should let everyone have their say. Bruce is the boss

The shouting down of the other judges has been happening right from the start so its not just the Brendan thing. Also, when the others are giving their comments, he's got a right nasty sneer on his face.

I watch because of Gethin, Camilla, Kelly, Brendan, Darren, Letitia etc, and Craig too. Not because of Len.”

True, but the point i'm trying to make is, if a judge behaves a certain way and the viewers or the directors like it im sure they will have their "ear blown in" to say keep up the good work. Conversely if they rock the boat too much i'm sure someone will remind them of it.

At the end of the day they are just employees who want to be judging the next series, so they will tow the line within limits.

I've been quite critical of Len this series. However, just to be objective here, I wonder if the shouting down of other judges results from frustration. I know it's not a very commendable behaviour and so I'm not defending him, but I suspect that Len does feel annoyed at the their lack of attention to technical detail. I thought the exchange with Craig on Saturday was quite amusing. (Effectively Len was telling Craig he didn't notice the footwork errors - Craig took in good part.)

Len does need to stop shouting at the others and needs to be more discriminating in his marking, but the other judges also need to up their game. Also a panel without any ballroom/latin expert would be a bit pointless.
