Tell you what.
Andy can present Strictly, as long as Bruce defends Wimbledon title

As much as I love Andy, there has never been a sportsman more uncomfortable in the limelight than him. Bless.

I really like Andy as a tennis player.

And as a maybe at times seemingly dour Scotsman, I can relate to his dry sense of humour.

But, but, but, what is the OP on ?!

Pity you have to have real ability to win Wimbledon.

If the public could vote for the Wimbledon champion, I might put money on Susanna !


( by the way, I actually quite like Susanna so let's not get diverted. Joke )

Andy's tennis does the talking for him, and will carry on doing so for a few years yet.

Look many famous sportsman have gone on to become presenters' can think of Gary Linekar,Sue Barker and Andrew Castle off the top of my head

I'm sure all of them will be considered when the job is up for grabs so why not Andy and Natalie Robb

Can't stand Andy Murray - zero personality and ugly to boot.

Somehow I think that Andy Murray would hate to do any sort of presenting job.

And I'm quite good on showbiz (well, I read Heat magazine in the hairdressers...) and I have never heard of Natalie Robb

Natalie Robb won Saturday Superstore Talent Show in the eighties ....

She was Scotland's sweetheart when she was in High Road and has been in Eastenders, The Bill and now is Moria Barton in Emmerdale

See definitely got more experience than Tess

Because, currently Andy is sooooo unsuited to it. And I can't see this changing as radically as it would have to.

And you still haven't answered : "What are you on ?"

I originally asked "what are you on"? because I could not believe that anyone who wasn't on something would even suggest anything so outrageous, the guy has had a charisma bypass.

I hate to admit it, but I would rather keep Bruce, better the devil you know etc.

I'm sure that he would jump at the chance.

How has he won this when he's possibly the dullest tennisman on the court( although Fernando Verdasco or Mardy Fish are good contenders for that one lol ) .I regularly watch tennis so I know what I'm talking about and besides it's only my opinion. I mean he's an amazing player but he isn't really Mr personality; far from it.

Congratulations to him, I guess .

Don't get me wrong I love Bruce and hope he stays but if he has to go then I think Tess should go too as they come as a pair (you don't get anything in this game for a pair......LOL)

I think it would be nice to see 2 of the UK's brightest stars in Andy and Natalie taking over

I know it was muted a few years back but think now with Andy's new found success this may be the time to ask him again
He'd be right at home presenting SCD then because I mute Brucie whenever he comes on.

It's more to do with what you achieved this year than having a personality, iirc Red Rum won it one year. Lol.

As was muted by various people on here over the last few years with Bruce about to retire is time to get Andy Murray on board for next years show as Bruce's replacement

I know last year there was a lot of speculation that him and Natalie Robb would be the next hosts of SCD.

Whilst he is the UK's number one star should SCD act quick now..
Blimey we would never get a laugh
