I really think the judges on SCD have lost the run of themselves. All the trauma they have suffered this year is really clouding their judgement of the viewing public who in the end pay their wages. They think they are the show and not the celebrities.

I think it's time to retire them and bring in new judges for next year's show if its back.

Hear hear. I used to have some sort of respect for at least a couple of them, but this year they've all lapsed so far into self-parody that it's just ridiculous. I genuinely cannot remember the last comment any of them made that was actually about dancing or technique - it's all "stick insects on acid" and other such offensive nonsense. Also Alliterative Arlene regularly gets half way through a string of alliterative non-sequiturs when she starts to falter and trails off leaving us with literally nonsense. Sack the lot of them.

If it comes back (which I really doubt) then YES to new judges. Although at a push I would keep Bruno.

I think she rehearses some one liners and has to get them in whether they are appropriate or not. I can't stand the woman.

What about Darcey Bussell, Lionel Blair, and put Anton and Erin on the judging panel for the next series. It would also be nice if the show actually mentioned each week that it's purpose is too raise money for charity.

If the dont change at least some of the judges next series they should seriously consider putting a gaggin order on them. Its not so much what they say when they judge but all the things they say on ITT and in the papers that doesnt help the situation. They are entitiled to judge on the dancing ofcourse but should refrain from having an opinion away from the dance floor.

Well you'd get about as much sense out of Walsh, Minogue et al as out of our current set of jokers...

Totally agree.
What about finding new judges and then reminding them that the show is to raise money for charity and not line their own pockets with huge BBC wages.
I think all four judges need to be changed for next year and the others put out pasture to wallow in their own self-importance.

change the format too much and you kill the show this is all a total over reaction they may get away with changing one judge maybe at a puch two but not all of them they have been as much a part of the show success as the other participants in the show

I don't mind the current set of judges but I feel that they should know their place.

They've already insisted on a dance off being introduced and now they're insisting that if someone is at the bottom of the leader board three weeks running they should automatically leave. This isn't the judges' show and they seem to have forgotten that.

It seems that the only way to make them happy would be to scrap the public vote and just let them decide who leaves every week.

I think three or five judges with a non voting chair who only as a casting vote if needed could work.

Or else go back to the one with the least votes goes. And start to give some money to Charity even if it was to be one of the winners choosing.

new judges no keep them i dont like len for his in my opinion
overmarking i like craig others dont ,even in this thread there has been calls to keep bruno and craig so whoever goes or stays will upset someone .
arlene does sound alittle shrill at times on the saturday show but her comments on itt are informative.
bland sycophantic comments will soon get tiresome
so be careful what you wish for.

Absolutely. My panel would be:

Johnboy Walton

Laura Ingalls

Mary Poppins

Father Christmas

Sour grapes request cos Johns gone.

No need to change them. The judges we've got at the moment are perfectly fine, they do a good job and are thouroghly entertaining. No need to change them


I'm surprised there hasnt been a call to eliminate Bruce from the show because his jokes are rubbish and his dancing is... a bit rusty.

New, non bullying judges, are the only way that I believe the show and the BBC can retain any intregrity. I certainly shall no longer watch, or vote, unless the judges are replaced.

This week, the judges, Arlene in particular, over stepped the mark. Yesterday her comments were vile and also untrue and my personal belief is that she should resign right now.
