Why does the bbc continue to employ the dreadful Bruce Forsythe?

[Dozer]

Who is pictured this week in a lads' mag with a "bevy of beauties".

He is a terrible presenter. Cringe.

Also double standards re his age. Where are the octegenarian female presenters?

dunno. He's one creepy man, IMHO. Bah.

Gawd knoes, misplaced loyalty I guess.

Brucey and tbose fucking CAMERA ANGLES make the programme unwatchable for me :(

He's revolting.

vile and not funny at ALL

ugh

Because people keep watching programmes with him in, if the ratings dropped he'd soon be out

Because he's a much loved oldie and is benign.

Surely you don't hate him cos he's old and your assuming he's Saville-like?

I don't watch Strictly but I loved him when I was little - thought he was funny when I was 10.

I can't stand him, don't watch anything that has him in it

I've loathed him since he was 'young'.

No LFC, I just really dislike his presenting. Would watch Strictly if he wasn't in it.

The good ratings must surely be despite him?

I like Brucie, but he's got to stop twirling poor Anthea.

I don't think he's creepy or vile and I can't see how anyone would feel that way about him?

On the other hand, I do find it cringeworthy when he stutters and stammers over his lines, and fails to deliver the unfunny jokes he tells on Strictly.

He was even part of the BBC's general election coverage. Odd.

He's awful. Just awful. Absolute cringe on Strictly. And a mate of mine met him years ago and said he was a gigantic arsehole and extremely rude.

Brucie was tbe best game show host EVER. I adored him. Leslie Crowther was good too.

He started bumbling into a 'joke' on SCD about his wife and Fifty Shades and had to turn the TV off.

I can't bear to watch him.

Lol Line I know it is totally embarrassing.

I cannot watch it grrr and I want to.

Fifty Shades of Bruce!

Strictly Shades of Bruce

I've never liked him.

He must have some dirt on someone. I can't see why else he would still be employed.

There is usually a quiet, polite laugh from the audience when Bruce tells one of his jokes.

Oh dear god I'm so glad I missed the Fifty Shades moment!

The BBC has some very odd celebrities that get a disproportionate amount of airtime that doesn't match up to their talent (thinking Chris Evans).

I think he's ok.

Typical saturday night entertainment, cant say he makes me cringe at all.

I think the crap jokes and bumbling delivery are funny. Not hilarious. But not cringeworthy.
