Is this question limited to realistic possiblities? Because otherwise it is a huge open-ended questions.

Worst replacements:
George W Bush (he's on the dole soon)
Kim Jong-il
Anyone who doesn't speak English

Hey, I'd far rather have Dubya than James Jordan. In fact, I think Dubya would be quite charming!

But I'd choose Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun over James any day of the week. You could say I don't much like him.

And I do know THEY'RE dead. And I still prefer them!

Anton du Beke (cringe )
Dale Winton (the show's camp enough already)
Jonathan Ross (with our marvellous band...four poofs and a piano)
Vernon Kay (him and Tess don't suit the show together)
Michael Barrymore (alwight? Er, no)

Jeremy Clarkson

Although he would soon sort out the bickering judges.

Richard Madeley. Or Ben Shepherd. Or Kate Thornton.

Best replacement I can think of for Bruce would be Brian Conley.

I was just about to post Jeremy Clarkson!! I love the man to pieces, but can you imagine him on Strictly?! Actually... maybe I'd like him to do it. For comedy value. Hahaha!


(In all honestly I think they're gearing up Anton Du Beke to take over from Brucie when the time comes!)

Rusell Brand and Jonathan Ross, with Richard Madeley presenting It Takes Two.
I should imagine Russell Brand could afford to turn it down - he's pretty busy at the moment and into next year - got a couple of films coming up - The Tempest - and yes I think he will stick to the script.

I shouldnt imagine half of you had heard or even seen Russell Brand before the phone business.

Russell would actually be good I think. He's a nice guy, he gets all enthusiastic about things and he'd make the celebrities feel comfortable.

bad ones... Richard Littlejohn, Jeremy Clarkson, Nick Griffin etc. the thought

Dale Winton *shudders*.

If ever the show is going to end however (perish the thought =D), bring in Clarkson. He'd slaughter the whole thing in five minutes, it'd be like a glorious train wreck. An incredibly melodramatic end to a brilliant show.

Agreed!

He's so dated it's cringe-worthy. There's really no place for him on present day television any longer.

Younger than Brucie I believe that Richard Whiteley would be somewhat less animated - and Carol Voodoowoman could do the scoring.

Could change the style with Gary Lineker and Alan Hansen.

How about replacing Tess with a cardboard cut out (improvement) or the other extreme, Vanessa Feltz.

Seriously though, there were already some pretty horrifying suggestions and of these, if Graham Snorton was to get the gig, I will sadly wave goodbye.

One of my mates met Richard Whately and apparently he was really creepy.

Had the 'pleasure' of spending a fair bit of time with Richard Whitley and yes, he was full of himself. One of the girls he was chasing at Yorkshire Television bumped into him in the car park and he said 'if you were sleeping with me, you'd be wearing a mink coat.' Quick as a flash, she said 'if I were sleeping with you i'd be wearing a disguise!!' Lovely.
