To wish Bruce Forsyth could be humanely dispatched

In fact, not bothered about the humane bit.

He is beyond embarrassing on Strictly with his forced, stilted jokes which aren't even funny.

He is well past his sell by date.

Does anyone actually like him?

Why does he keep getting the gig?

That's a vile thing to say.

I like him.

missmapp · 12/10/2013 18:39

Strictly was so much better last week with Tess and Claudia. Don't wish the man any harm, but he is not the best person for the job.

newestbridearound · 12/10/2013 18:39

YANBU at all! Can't stand him, find him cringe worthy to watch and he ruins a programme I otherwise really love. I think it's time he retired- but it looks unlikely anytime soon.

Icelollycraving · 12/10/2013 18:39

Yabu. I like him. He is old fashioned & reminds me a little bit of my step dad.

newestbridearound · 12/10/2013 18:40

I should add I also don't wish the man any harm; I just wish he would get off the telly!

Bearbehind · 12/10/2013 18:40

I don't actually wish him any harm, just wish he'd be put out to pasture.

Only if the Daley woman gets to go as well Grin

sonlypuppyfat · 12/10/2013 18:41

You dreadful person you'll never go to heaven now after saying that!

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 12/10/2013 18:41

I would like him gone but it's not an age thing. I've always found hi irritating

Bearbehind · 12/10/2013 18:42

I think heaven was well outside of my grasp before this!

I agree but no harm come to him please!

Unfunny, irritating and clumsy presenting style.

THE CAMERA ANGLES ON THAT SHOW MAKE ME DIZZY Angry

GeeTeeEff · 12/10/2013 18:43

I don't watch SCD but caught a bit last week and was shocked he was still presenting it. What age is he? He must be at least 115.

ChanelTunel · 12/10/2013 18:44

He's a sweetheart. Why should anyone be put out to pasture,when they're not negative and dull?

GiveItYourBestShot · 12/10/2013 18:45

I'm sorry, I laughed at the book joke Blush

angryangryyoungwoman · 12/10/2013 18:45

I agree, but I think tess 'dead behind the eyes' Daly should go too.

RustyHalo · 12/10/2013 18:45

Definitely time for him to retire. Love Claudia & wish she was on every Saturday.

Bearbehind · 12/10/2013 18:48

If a new, unknown presenter was as bad as he is, they'd be out on their ear.

His jokes are just embarrassingly cringeworthy.

OP posts:
RustyBear · 12/10/2013 18:49

He's 85, but he's been performing since he was a child, so it seems longer.

Visadiva · 12/10/2013 18:49

I like him. Can't bear Tess Daly.

joydivisionovengloves · 12/10/2013 18:52

YADNBU

scaevola · 12/10/2013 18:52

Well, he's a couple of years young than Her Majesty the Queen.

He mght iirritate some, but he's still well capable of hosting a light entertainment show.

Bearbehind · 12/10/2013 18:54

To be fair, if this series was just Ben Cohen for the whole show, I'd be a happy bunny- how fit is he?

OP posts:
TidyDancer · 12/10/2013 18:55

Can't stand him or the Daly beast. They wreck Strictly for me.

candycoatedwaterdrops · 12/10/2013 18:55

YAsooooooBU. Cringey. :(

GobbySadcase · 12/10/2013 18:56

Forcibly retired would do it.
