Like FForsyth, he WAS a great entertainer, but, like O'Conner, that was many years ago.
Th big names who are the ones actually rumoured to be bookies favourites could be doing with being added to the list..... Graham Norton, John Barrowman!
I really don't know but I do feel it needs someone Avuncular to be "protective" of the contestants and be able to give a few snidey comments to the judges .
I've always liked the shows when Tess and Claudia ran it between them. Tess does the autocue, run to time, do what the producers want, front-of-house well; Claudia is great for on "Claud nine".
I'd like that to be the pattern going forward. I don't think we need a new big head^Wname who thinks the show is about them.
