Bruce. FFS

He may not be funny, but he is warm (unlike his cohost!). I quite like Bruce, but Tess irritates the bejesus out of me 
Bruce is the last of the old masters. We are fortunate to be able to see such at work. Strictly is at it's peak right now, when Bruce goes, my view is that it will go into decline unless they find someone else who can combine Bruce's warmth, passion, expertise and not inconsiderable talent. But there isn't anyone, as far as I can see. All those previously mentioned would change the feel and nature of the show to a lesser or greater degree. So Let's keep Bruce, and delay that "jumped the shark" moment, for as long as possible.
i think hes brillikant if im that quick at 81 id be pleased
my dad actually met him about 30 years ago said he was rude but thinks the mans brilliant on tv

To be fair it must be difficult to write jokes about the same four judges after five complete series plus a few more episodes and specials.
I loved it when Len finally said something to Bruce about his constant interuptions, last night. As Len would say Bruce is 'starting to get on my wick'.
As for Terry Wogan, he's the last thing Strictly needs - could you trust him to call out the results? And he'd get stupid if a repeat of Gabbygate happened.

Great post!
Give the new presenter 2 or 3 shows and we'll all think they had been there for ever. no-one is indispensable. The show is bigger than its presenter(s) which is why the format has been successfully sold around the world. It appeals to everybody who watches it as good old fashioned entertainment with a few laughs along the way.
A load of other popular shows on Telly have survived the departure of old presenters (Blue Peter, You've Been Framed, The Price is Right Blankety Blank, Come Dancing Family Fortunes etc etc) and I can't see one as successful as Strictly being any different. The Generation Game survived for years and was infinitely funnier without Bruce hogging the airtime and churning out those cringeworthy catchphrases.

Yes I must say I have to agree with you, he can be a bit cringeworthy. Time for fresh blood, I think!
I Sky+ fast forward his bits now because he is driving me doolally .
However it would be nice to be able to hear the judges comments on the odd occasion instead of having to FF their bits too, as he is continually sticking his great oar in every 5 mins & interrupting AGGGGGGHHHHHHhhhhhh...........
