Both true, but not nearly enough to qualify him as a first-time presenter taking on the BBC's flagship entertainment show. Never in a million years.

Much as I would prefer a younger co-presenter for Tess, I too think Terry Wogan would be a good replacement, ok, he knows nothing about the subject (except the "Floral Dance" but we will pass over that quickly), but he has loads of live presenting experience, he is calm and could keep the judges under control with a quip or two, he has a very dry sense of humour with taking the micky in a nice way! which would suit the programme's style. he can also read an autocue! really miss him on Eurovision.

One mistake in how many years of Broadcasting? (I forgot he did the original Come Dancing).

Also, I would love Claudia to do the "Tess-pit".

Love your post, also miss him on Eurovision. But I don't think Tel would be interested. He has always managed his career with the same professionalism with which he entertained millions of us. He knows the SCD gig would be a hiding to nothing and I'm sure will prefer to leave us with the 'what if' taste in our mouths rather than anything else.

Thank you shame he would not consider it, he must be coming up to retirement himself! think it would be a nice way to go out, a couple of series of a top rated Saturday night show. I think that is Bruce's problem really, he wants to go out on a high but does n't realise he has missed the boat!!! should have gone while he could still pronounce people's names .
