Oh dear more Brucie bashing, I wish some people would appreciate that SCD is probably the most difficult show currently on tv to host.
Does any of those critising the prehistoric jokes and supposed fluffs actually realise the enormity of Bruce's job, it is not just standing there and muttering nonsense while the whole thing waits for him to finish. The timing has to be staggeringly accurate cameras, microphones and the most untrustworthy of all, people have to be in the right place at the right time to stop it all looking like a junior school video project.
Heck the fact that everyone moans about Bruce's old jokes is an indication that no one notices any errors with the wonky camera work or mikes not working. Has any of the ultra critical considered one of the major reasons why this is the case? Because Bruce Forsyth was presenting live tv before most of us were on solid foods. Has anyone noticed that unlike the likes of Davina or Graham Norton how little he refers to cards and certainly never when he is direct to camera. Does anyone not think he rushes some judges is beacuse HE has someone screaming in his ear to do so and likewise he can add a quip or two later (so old they should be on Antiques Roadshow) cos no one realises how fast HE can get things back on track.
FFS he's 78 he has earned more than enough money to keep him in golf balls and nausea inducing sweaters and the BBC being quite so hip and trendy as it is, they would have quietly pushed him to the sidelines two years ago IF they didn't KNOW there is no one around who can do the same job as he does.
And sorry if you want to see just how hard a job SCD is just take a look at Tess who still looks like a frightened rabbit whenever she has anything to say.
Heck as I say, the fact so many moan about Bruce rather than dodgy timings in cameras etc should tell everyone what a job BF does.
