Len's evil twin would be Ren Badwoman.

I hadn't realised Len was ill but looking at clips from DWTS, he did look thinner.

[Scrotnig]

He was fantastic, and Strictly wouldn't be the show it is today without Len. I don't think he was ever fully replaced - no slight on any of the current judges, just a measure of how unique Len was.

Very sad.

Yes, I agree- Anton may try to emulate Len’s mannerisms at times but there’s only one Len Goodman. 

I wonder will the judges start saying “SEVEN” Len-style again?

I also think, much like when Countdown lost Richard, the trophy became the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy; it’d be a nice touch for Strictly to have the Len Goodman Memorial Glitterball.

I never watched SCD but from what I've read it seemed Goodman was one hell of a nice guy. RIP.

I'm not sure where you get this from. I get the superficial Brucie comparisons, but even then he is very much his own person.

Why would they imitate him now he's dead? You'll maybe get one as a tribute, but it would be odd to start doing it as a permanent thing.

He left the show 7 years ago. It'd be more fitting in the US, perhaps - but not here. He was a very memorable judge, but he was one part of many - not the face of the show like Richard Whiteley was to Countdown.

[JAS84]

Yeah, if anyone's the face of Strictly it's Tess Daly. She and Craig Revel-Horwood are the only ones to have been there from the start until now.

Anton has also been there from the start just in two different roles!

I think if they were going to name the Trophy after anyone it’d would have already happened when Brucie died.

Though the award he did get named after him - The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award at the NTAs - encompassed more of the man than just Strictly Come Dancing

I wouldn't call that subtle.
