I must say I was cheering when I heard. With luck I'll be able to watch the next series without my thumb hovering over the mute button.
I'm not mad about Tess, but I think she did an absolutely heroic job covering up Brucie's fluffs, pretending to find his "jokes" funny, and smiling through as he pawed her. She deserves the gig, if she wants it. But definitely keep Claudia.
