The think SNT needs to end it's 90 minute format and just be a 60 minute show. Even Noel's House Party on the BBC for most of it's run was around 50 minutes.

Have a tighter show leads to less padding. But of course ITV want to sell more advertising for these two, especially to get back the massive salaries they pay Ant and Dec

Can you explain what the 30 minutes of padding was that should be dropped?

The little bit where Andi Peters promotes a competition, that’s 2 minutes, what’s the other 28?


Comparisons with the 90s are irrelevant, most entertainment shows are longer these days, not just Ant & Dec, are you suggesting Strictly should be 50 minutes long as well rather than the 2 hours it can be

A one hour prime time ITV show is actually around 48 minutes without the adverts, and I feel that format would be much tighter and better for the show. Some items just drags on far too long, as mentioned above. Keep the main segments but have them shorter and snappy. It would help the show. Just my opinion, of course others have different views.
