I agree. It seemed oddly old-fashioned. If they did the same thing about women there's be hell to pay. Is it just because they have to write this sort of stuff for Bruce do you think? I was also astonished they way he kept mimicking (badly) Chelsee's accent
Can you please shut up with the gay innuendo stuff!

I've found Bruce's jokes about Chelsee utterly tasteless and insulting. She put up with a lot really unfunny comments about everything from her accent to her supposed taste in alcohol. It's 2011 for heavens sake not the end of pier in Blackpool circa 1962!
Bruce really shows his age and his misogyny. Crass, ignorant old man who clearly thinks women should be simpering, silent and in awe of his 'brilliant career' and devastating charm. *shudders*

Absolutely. Couldn't believe what Bruce got away with in his attitude to Chelsee. And the way he and Tess 'relate' - sort of old man with pretty girl on his arm whom he deserves because he is so wonderful. Awful stuff and not at all funny and I'm surprised the Beeb can't see it.
Oh dear. It must be Brucie's fault as usual
Whilst, Bruno, Craig and Russell are laughing all the way to their pay cheque and popularity increases. Oh and Chelsee didnt do too badly either, I mean who was she?

... which I find very worrying given the rumours of Su Pollard and the next series. Who else will they get? Little & Large and that bloke in the Union Jack outfit? Maybe they could have a power cut halfway through, just to make it really authentic?
I have no objections to Craig and his 'dahhhling', or to Bruno and his equal opportunity perving. It's their choice and they are in control of their actions. I do object to straight men [or women] using tacky innuendo because they think it's funny. Ooooo, Bruce said nancy, nudge nudge. Just leave it with the rest of your material, back in 1974, Bruce. He'll be calling Tess 'oooh, Matron' next.

So true!

To be fair to Bruno, he is an equal opportunities salivator, though.

because every other female dancers wears sp many clothes you mean!
that seems a very random thing to say , do you have anything special against Ola ?
To go back to the comments by the OP this year I have found not only Bruce but Len allowed to get away with comments that really you wouldn't in the workplace
To be honest the leering also wouldn't be allowed either.
At times the comments have got very unpleasant especially towards Craig and I am not sure that the BBc should be promoting this joking about homosexuality as it can and in my opinion did tip over into offensive comments last series.

Anything special against Ola? Are you serious? Men love admiring Ola .. and Ola loves being admired.
That's life. Get over it.

We have a resident psychiatrist just down the corridor. He could explain to you (tactfully) what most men think of 'modern' women. But you wouldn't like it darling.
The way to a mans heart- good gravy and plenty of it.
The late Kenneth Williams will never be forgotten, which is one good thing about SCD. " Infamy! Infamy ! Theyve all got it infamy !".

I am sure they do but why signal out Ola or is she you special fancy
I dont think it is me who needs to get over anything but I would point out that body you need to step over is that of Les Dawson
Just to be totally politically correct, shouldn't Alesha now 'come out of the closet' and reveal herself to be a lesbian so that she can 'phwoar' over the femal pros and slebs alike..

nice.

Blimey, it really is 1974, isn't it??
'Most men' have no issue with modern women. Unless of course they're scared of women.
