eeeeuw Would have thought the kick of the leg would have been a bit of a problem then. Maybe she has industrial-strength Tena Lady, just in case.

I did wonder if a touch of the Ulrika's might be the problem. We should sneak someone in to make her sneeze and see if her eyes cross - that's always a give away! I am speaking with some empathy here....

What was that Dennis Pennis gag that Hugh Grant told him to piss off about? I saw you in a movie the other night ... wouldn't say you were wooden, but at one point I thought somewhere had chucked a chair across the screen. Pretty much sums up Miss Daly's presence too, albeit not a bad looking chair.

Still, she landed a better slice of airtime than most female sidekicks Forsyth had a habit of working with. She does actually get to speak at least.

Thanks for the replies.

I have nothing major against her, I find her quite an attractive woman (I am partial to a good rack).

However, I find it staggering how two numpties like Bruce and Tess "present" the best show the BBC have offer.

One of the other posters got it right - she is like a spare part. Zero charisma and zero presentation skills.

As for Bruce.....well he should retire gracefully. The man is a deranged silly old goat and makes me cringe. YUK!

At least Tess got away without marrying him!

Every cloud and all that ...

Although would conjure some comedic possibilities if it did happen ...

Ne-ne-ne ... lower ... lower!

The low drone of electric motor. Tess in her bridal gown tumbles in to Brucie's arms.

Ne-ne-ne ... higher ... higher!

Tess nestles in to Brucie's lap ... as his state of the art voice-activated Stannah stair lift follows his orders and winds the happy couple in agonizing slow-motion up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.
