I've been a huge fan of SNT since the first series, so naturally I'm sad about the news, but I understand the reasoning and I'm ok with it since it's apparently just going to be rested for a while, as they've done before.
Like others have mentioned - the last few series have been feeling a little tired and not quite what it used to be. Kind of like they were just going through the motions.
On the side of Ant, Dec and everyone else who works on the show, it's understandable and I can imagine it being a relief for them. As they mentioned in the video, producing the show takes up a huge amount of time due to multiple segments of each episode taking up most of the year to plan and shoot. Not to mention trying to come up with different celebrities to rope in - the well is getting pretty dry after so many each series for so many years. Plus trying to come up with fresh Ant vs. Dec games and other parts has got to be tricky.
Some parts of the show have been pretty dire for a while, like the drama/murder mystery etc segments - Does anyone actually enjoy them? They're mostly the same (bad) thing each time. Even big fans, myself included, either sat begrudgingly through them or "put the kettle on" during it. If that never returned, I would be fine with it.
Hopefully the rest won't be for too long. As much as I love it, I think they made the right choice. A break was needed.
I'm curious how the final series (for now) next year will go. Hopefully it'll manage to go out with a proper bang for the big 20th.
