To wish Bruce Forsyth could be humanely dispatched

[Bearbehind]

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?

[HesterShaw]

Tess not Teas ffs!

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

I said YABU but I meant YANBU! He's cringetastic!

[HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey]

YANBU

I want to watch strictly, I really do but fuck me he makes me cringe so much I have to turn it off.

[HesterShaw]

And he just said something so horrible to Craig I actually gasped :o

[Bearbehind]

I love Craig, he tells it like it is, without having to explain himself, unlike Bruce.

[cupcake78]

YABU he's an old fashioned gentleman. Tess however can be dispatched! Can't stand the pouting eye lash fluttering woman.

[EmeraldJeanie]

YABU. Bruce makes the show!

[Bearbehind]

Really emerald- why?

[carlywurly]

Yanbu we were saying exactly the same here.

[EmeraldJeanie]

I cringe sometimes and occasionally spot grumpy rudeness in him.
However, I don't enjoy the show as much when he is not there.
Tess and Claudia bit meh last week.
His resilience is impressive. Go Bruce...

[patchworkchick]

It's his terrible jokes, retire?

[BookFairy]

I record and watch 20mins behind so that I can fast forward Bruce as I can't bear him!

[Hunfriend]

Sorry to say this Tidybut Tess and Brucie are Strictly

Waves

YANBU. We were just discussing the fact that SCD really needs trained marksmen focused on Bruce. He's fecking awful. He literally makes me want to claw my own eyeballs out with embarrassment just watching him.

Apparently it's genetic, as my baby cries every time he appears, without fail.

[confusedwwyd]

he is not a gentleman have you seen him pawing at tes? and some of the comments he makes about women on the show are hideous and sexist. vile man.

[PresidentServalan]

I hate him so YANBU. And the way he mauls Tess - fair play to her that she doesn't visibly shudder. He spoils the entire show, his jokes are shite and sometimes he can barely read the autocue. Time they sacked him. And it's not an age thing - he just isn't any good at presenting the show.

[PresidentServalan]

peppin Your baby has excellent taste! And so does the rest of your household!

Am a bit that I welled up a bit at Artem and Natalie's dance tonight though. I love that song and the dance was so beautiful!

[Greydog]

Tess is appalling - and Claudia - yuk. I thought they were meant to have people who advised them how to dress, but Claudia always looks like she's been dressed by a small child in a storm. What a mess!

[ajandjjmum]

As this thread shows - some love him, some hate him. I'm sure the producers current viewing figures tell them that more love than hate, and the second that changes, he'll be moved on.

I find the girls just as irritating tbh - still love the show though!

[Bearbehind]

Artem is a jolly good reason to love the show and nearly makes up for Bruce- nearly!

[CiderBomb]

When I was about four or five my dad used to go to the pub on a Friday and come home late, when he came home I'd always get up and go downstairs and we'd watch Play Your Cards Right that my mum had taped for him earlier in the evening (god knows why he wanted that taped?) together. He'd let me eat crisps and drink pop when I should have been in bed fast asleep.

Because of that I have an enormous affection for Sir Bruce.

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

We watch with a delay in our house too - we call it the 'Brucie buffer'.

[Bearbehind]

I'm loving the idea of a Brucie Buffer. Will try that!

[cocoleBOO]

I love SCD but I'm not watching atm because of him I need to record it so I can fast forward through him. I hate the way he huffs if nobody laughs at his pathetic jokes.

[bochead]

I couldn't stand him as a child and still can't decades later. He needs wheeling off to our most distant uninhabited N.Atlantic island possible.

If we could ship Piers Morgan off to the states surely we should be able to get rid of old Brucy?
