Does anyone else think like I do that Bruce should retire now, he can hardly read what to say at times. How about his son Anton he would do a lovely job, and he is very quick with his replies and witty

Hi Rainbow welcome to the Blueroom

Although it may be time for Bruce to go I would switch off Im afraid if it was Anton who replaced him!

He has been a star for many, many years. I remember him on Sunday Night at the London Palladium. In all those years he has never sworn, mocked any group of people, or caused offence of any kind. How many of today's comedians can say the same?
So it is with sadness that I say, please please GO BRUCE. You are an embarrassment to yourself. He can't read the autocue, forgets peoples names, sometimes very nearly loses his teeth and as for that awful wig! His voice has gone and the way he hogs the camera and has to dance at the drop of a hat is toe curling. I know things could be worse: Ronnie Corbett or Du Beke but surely there is someone out there who could do the job?

Dale Winton could do it for me - but whoever the fickle finger of fate falls upon, I agree that it really is time to get rid of Pop Forsyth.

He must be almost 82 years old now and I suspect he's holding on for a knighthood, but frankly, if he doesn't get one in this year's New Year Honours List, he's never going to get one - and if someone at the Beeb doesn't pluck up the nerve to suggest that he calls it a day, there's a strong possibility that he'll pop his clogs on live telly one of these Saturday evenings!

I blame the Queen!

I totally agree I'm finding Brucie more and more cringey to watch each week.

If they must bring out an oldie to replace him could we have Des O'Connor, Tom O'Connor or Jimmy Tarbuck instead? I could put up with anyone of them, its times like this that I wish dear old Bob Monkhouse was still alive.

I'd definitely switch off if it was Anton with his 'smile' - it makes my flesh crawl everytime he does it.

No to Ronnie Corbett either, he was a complete waste of space the other week.

No to Graham Norton too - oh just the thought of it... aaah!

No i love Graham Norton, or Alan Carr, or Peter Kay, it has to be an entertainer of some sorts.
Who followed Brucie on his other shows? (Generation game , etc..)
Oops think they're all dead now
Has to be someone no older than in their 40's I think.

Why does it have to be an "entertainer"?  Can't it just be a professional presenter who knows who they're doing and can cope with a live broadcast.  Tom Bergeron isn't an "entertainer" as such but is brilliant (IMO) on DWTS.  I've always thought Bill Turnbull would do a very good job - he's hosted Karen Hardy's "do's" for a few years now and apparently does a brilliant job.  And he's well used to live tv...

Or at least a comedian(enne) Bill Turnbull far too boring. Someone to make us larfff I say!

andcan give the judges some stick too.
I love Miranda Hart, she'd be funny as a female presenter

Tess, and Claudia ok as a one off, not long term material i think.

 
anyone but Anton really...........(and Alan Titchmarsh, another bore.zzzzzzzzzzz)
 
Paul O'Grady will have some time next year won't he too?

Bruce is getting worse i think, didn't he say Tess' lines on Saturday so then she had to say his? yeah they laughed about it and i'm sure no big deal but he wasn't supposed to say it, and the amount of times he reads things wrongly is getting ridiculous, although can be quite funny eg Jelly and Brenda LOL

TBH, I really don't want anyone 'funny' Comedy is such a subjective thing that if you put (for sake of argument) Miranda Hart in, I for one would switch off in a heartbeat.
 
That's why I would back a call for a presenter not an entertainer. THere's enough on the show (potentially) to entertain without a comedian to try and make us laugh. I think the show that Brucie missed proved that it works really well without an 'entertaining' host...

Noooooooooooooooooooooo! Not Barnacle Bill!   

I think Crube's right - the show doesn't need a comedian, just a good presenter who isn't Graham Norton, Jonathan Woss, or Barnacle Bill Turnbull!
