lol Hayley, probably true but they are like the Woodentops and Bill & Ben , I've grown out of them but it's kind of comforting to know that some things haven't changed in all these years ;)

I like them both :) More so Terry because he has the brogue, but Bruce has been 'there' since I was little and watching Sunday night at the London palladium" .

I think people forget that 'working to the camera' is what they do, and an ability to fill in the blank spaces with easy chatter however inane, which is why I cringe when it's suggested that it would be good to see 'normal' people on WDYTYA as most would be a nightmare if faced with tv cameras.

Jude
Yes I know it is the celebrity/personality you are talking about but you wondered why he's got a knighthood and said probably because of his charity work. I was just telling you what I thought the charity work might be because you said you didn't know hat his charity work was.

But, there must be a reason that the BBC are willing to pay him a lot of money and don't want him to give up. He must bring in the audiences or they would get rid of him, especially since they so obviously prefer younger presenters.

Matthew....from a womans point of view (mine atleast)....he's smutty, sarcastic and just yuck......and has always behaved that way.
Does'nt really matter what charity work someone has done really or whether they make it public knowledge or not......its the personality we're talking about....(..sorry Ann...lol ;-)..)

Matthew as janet says they have done it all their lives, I am sure there was a programe about Bruce at his home adn he constantly acted up for the camera.....and thats what the producer said.


Chris will I like it? :-D

Matthew both Brucie and Terry have been acting the same way all their lives. Terry is patronising and is ill at ease unless he is the centre of attention. I always remember when he had one of the actresses off Dallas on his talk program and she brought him a yellow rose- (of Texas )- and he couldn't even thank her for the gesture but just acted as if he didn't know what to do with it. I so wanted to tell him.
The problem with Brucies jokes are that they are as outdated as him and occasionally smutty. He sounds more like Frankie Howerd as he gets older. Double entendres belong to the Edwardian music hall not to 21st century television viewing. -jl

At least Wogan does not constantly make inane irritating jokes.

Both Brucie and Terry are great, both proving that TV isn't just for pretty young things.

NOTE TO ALL NON-FANS: They are just acting the 'silly old man' part for the audience, they don't behave like that all the time! ;-)

Wogan doesnt bother me I actually like him, Bruce does make me cringe, why does he try and make a joke which is so cringeworthy before the dancer go on, just introduce them and shut up, if he is a master of his trade which after 60 years in the business surely he must be, he should be quick enough to have a come back line with out the silly jokes, its so .....GRRRRRRRRRRR and pure BBC


so whats me prize Chris :-D

AnninGlos Report 20 Nov 2011 10:13

Well I am not ashamed to say I like and admire both of them. Wogan because he has always made me laugh, especially on the radio. And Bruce because he does things for people that are not publicised. I can't remember specifics but it leaked out a while ago that he visited somebody who was seriously ill, more than once. Most celebrities publicize their 'good works'. And he can still dance. Never did like his voice but however, he can still hold a note. I only hope I can be as energetic and annoying as he is when I reach his age.
