Now then, both of these two have had a fair good innings on the BBC over the last few decades. Therefore it's about time they stepped aside and let someone younger have a go.
So this week's question - who should the BBC sack first and banish from all future programming (radio and TV)? Should it be Bruce Forsyth or Terry Wogan ?

I thought TBH they had both retired! Wigon is certainly aware of what day it is but Brucie is a British institution. Some might say he belongs in one!  I will vote neither as I couldn't tell you the last time I have seen them on TV. |

There should be an option for Neither: Have them both dragged round the back of the woodshed, shot through the head and then made into glue!
I don't like either of em. They're both a waste of fee-payers money. The best thing Forsyth ever did was Steptoe and Son!! After that his career became a painting-by-numbers system of dreadful light entertainment, wherein he made a career out of abusing the idiot contestants good enough to appear on his desperately poor TV shows! This snide presenting 'skill' was then adopted by potential rape murderer Michael Barrymore. Whilst The BBC actually considered bringing back The Black & White Minstrel Show as it was deemed less offensive to viewers than Forsyth's bewigged, sleazeball antics Likewise Wogan is a tuss as well. Only fit for Eurovision and Children In Need.. Sod off Terry and go and get a real job in your own country so I don't have to look at your stupid Irish head and wiggy hairstyle on TV!  Wiggon still skipping all the way to the bank in spite of appearing on zero programs of any merit in the last 175yrs of BBC broadcasting!  A disgruntled licence payer demands their money back from Forsyth direct, after it is revealed he spent his last £1200000000000000000.43 pay cheque on wigs and formaldehyde!! |

haha - love it, clearly Arch is a disgruntled licence payer then. It is Brucie for me - as much as I liked 'Play Your Cards Right' in the 80s I am afraid for me, he is well past it now and needs to go. |

Wogan, also a wig wearer is pretty harmless but I didn't like the way he charges a fee for the usual Children in Need nonsense.
He talks non stop, but you feel your daughter would be safe with him.
Bruce is an older version of John Leslie methinks.

Don't mind Brucie. Not too keen on Wogan. Remember someone saying Wogan is not a very nice person.mis there anyone on forum who can confirm this?

It is very difficult, if not impossible, to choose between the two of them. Terry Wogan is far less prominent than he used to be, thankfully. When he had his live chat show it was on virtually every day of the week I think. Brucie should have been locked up for inflicting the Generation Game on us. The only time I have laughed at Brucie was when Kikini Bamalam was turned into him in the first episode of the first series of Toast.

I have managed to establish that Terry Wigon is still employed by the BBC to do a 2 hour Sunday show on Radio Quiet and to host Children in Need. Part time is overstating Wigon's hours!
Brucie, as far as I can see, is now longer at the BBC.
So, based on that it would have to be Wigon.

I wonder who does Brucie's "hair" prior to his TV appearances. Surely they can't pretend its real?

Ickes' beliefs are a little off mainstream I know but 'Wiggon' ( nice one MIAS) played for laughs and cheap popularity with the, probably selected, audience and tried to make Icke look like a nutter, rather than do the job he was meant to be there for - the impartial interviewer.

I share exactly the same view Portland. On TV he never seemed relaxed when interviewing and often it too quickly became all about him rather than the guest. He lacked the ability to 'get out of the guest's way' and let then speak freely. An art completely lost to interviewers today but one which Michael Parkinson possessed. Today, the lady who presents Desert Island Discs on Radio 4 is a very skilled interviewer, especially on that show, but she is in a tiny minority.
During the late 70's and early 80's, Wogan's breakfast radio show was terrific.
Do you remember his running 'gag' about the 'Northampton Lighthouse'?
Eventually he found out this tall and slightly mysterious building was a test-centre for lift mechanisms!!

Brucie, but only because I am jealous of the old git for having close working relations with Tess Daly well into his 80s. Lucky old sod.

Well, poor Brucie is ill, and can't do Strictly at Christmas!
Bald, can't dance and has been around since year dot, so how long will those last legs last? (The tasty wife, I'd offer to look after)
Will Brucie make it past Christmas? Will he kick the bucket just before Christmas Day and ruin Christmas with cr*p clips and false gushing celebrity tributes or does he have a few more years in him yet?

I am having a death match vote in my head about the previous post .... Am I  or am I ? Either way, a Christmas of takeover Brucie tributes is definitely bad news for the TV schedules. I wonder if he'd get away with "I'm the joker full of jest, I play my cards close to my chest, but here's a pair worth revealing, OK dollies, do your dealing." today. In fairness, the dollys doing their dealing were probably the best bit of Play Your Cards Right. Now then, why exactly did I enjoy this show much as a pubescent, was it the one on the left or the one on the right?   |

I don't remember that, though my mother always listened to Terry's radio shows in my childhood. I loved his 1970s theme tune, which IIRC is called 'Just Like That' by Brass Incorporated (1970). It was a double A-side with BI's version of the Pick of the Pops theme. I enjoyed listening to his breakfast show in the later 2000s as well, before he retired from daily radio. |

Whilst he was still presenting Strictly and he did the little Dances with Tess, she always looked really uncomfortable when he grabbed hold of her. Nice to see him sacked by the BBC, to see him sacked by the BBC, nice! I don't think we need to bother too much though, they're both getting on a bit. I think they would earn greater respect if they cast their pieces off and proudly walked down the road with the sun glinting off their heads |

My mum used to like Bruce Forsyth but thought Wogan's chat show went on too long as the guests became less well known by the early '90s.
(RIP Terry)
