Don't get me wrong, Bruce is a television legend and someone I have l have looked up to for a long time now.
But I sadly think his time may have come to the end on strictly.
So how do you think could replace him? I think maybe they could get rid of Tess and replace them both by Jane Torvil and Christopher Dean.
But who do you think? Do you agree with me?

This has been discussed so often in the past with lots of names put forward or rejected by viewers. Currently no-one knows except for the producers and they won't be influenced by viewers.
About the only thing which seems to be definite is that there will be another series, and even that isn't totally certain..
I don' t remember that. Perhaps he played along with the panto.
What's it got to do with us?
absolutely agree Dilly - I hope they dont overlook these 2 ladies either, I much prefer having Tess and Claudia presenting than Bruce and Tess
I think I'd rather keep Brucie....
I don't think we necessarily need a male presenter. I think the BBC will think we do though.
They may very well do, if they think (rightly or wrongly) that more people think like me, than think like you.
He'd be a safe pair of hands but not particularly family friendly-I had a thought the other day that Michael McIntyre got a chat show to potentially test out his suitability for the job, I think he'd be good at the introductions/jokes bit as long as he didn't get too hyper and then put Claudia up in the Tess Pit-Although I'd feel harsh axing Tess after she'd carried Brucie for so long
Not sure what you mean by family friendly?
And whether Mr McIntyre would fit that particular mould?
Good grief, I hope not
Agree. They've proved more than capable on the results show, I'd stick with them both
Turnbull has no personality whatsoever and comparing him to Tom Bergeron who is just far too superior in presentation skills is silly.
I used to think J Barrowman could be the potential replacement for Forsyth, a dancing /singing act. But John has gone too cheesy and too hyper for my liking now & he'll dominate the show too much , much like Forsyth, who is all me me me.*rolleyes*
I think they have 'names' doing it already! Tess has been part of Strictly since the dawn of time, Claudia has presented ITT and everyone knows she is part of the Strictly team, why change a formula that works and have people that the GBP already associate with Strictly - but then again this is the BBC and they tend to 'fix' things that arent broken
I personally cannot stand John Barrowman so he would be a complete turn off for me, I would rather they kept Bruce ;-)
By all means disagree with me, but kindly refrain from calling my POV "silly", By way of example, despite disagreeing with you, I'm not about to do that to you.
She did a great job on the recent Sport Relief minus Bruce, and when teamed up with Claude, they have a natural rapport. She's certainly better in the lead role than in the Tess Pit where her questions are cringeworthy sometimes. Claude is obviously never coming back to ITT (let's pray Lisa Riley doesn't get that job eventually).
Ultimately I think Bruce will dictate terms and keep his role for about half the run, including the Final ofcourse. It always amazes me how we have a big exciting build up to what we hope is a great show, and Bruce stumbles on, mumbling and not knowing what his cue is. It's embarrassing and kills the excitement stone dead, and yet the Producers can't see that there's anything wrong? Though I agree with others, he obviously is a Dance aficionado and knows when the standard is high and is excited by it.
I thought Graham Norton was great on Strictly Dance Fever, but that was a different show. Whether he'd take on SCD or even be asked, who knows? But I think he's the only other alternative. It's a long run and a big comittment.
