This is supposed to be good-natured Saturday night family entertainment. We don't need to see 4 overblown egos (the judges) trying to make themselves the main part of the show. It is not very respectful to us as the viewers or to the dancers, who are supposed to be the real stars of the programme.
Len Goodman (what a misnomer that is!!) needs to be put in his place by the producers.
