And this Christmas show is particularly special as it marks the legendary Sir Bruce Forsyth's retirement from television
Please? I've always admired Brucie but y'know.. he's becoming like tumble weed this series...


Well I hope you're as able as he is at 84.


Yes I hope I'm hosting a live television show in front of millions and embarrassing myself with bad jokes and mis-reading an autocue instead of playing golf with my mates and taking things easy after having a long distinguished successful 60 year career as an all-round entertainer.

Brucie obviously doesn't want that sort of life, and neither does Peter Simon by the looks of it.


Well I'd happily have Sir Peter Simon host the show, rename it to 'Strictly Come Double Dare' and have Natasha Kerplunk fall over in a pit of gunge! Then at the end, viewers can phone to bid on the outfits the dancers are wearing all in the name of charity or something....

Tumblebot would approve this idea.

"BBC One begins its countdown to Christmas on air on Tuesday 27 November with Rob Brydon getting the show on the road: catch him after The One Show a 7.30pm."

So maybe a first glimpse of what the ident will look like? I do hope it's not another "celebrity-themed" ident. That's so 2011 Mad

It sounds like they're reusing last years package but with retweaks and different celebrities. I guess we'll see later!

They'll have to tweak it quite a lot if they are re-using it! For example, the Consider Yourself promo features David Jason at the start- his comedy (the Royal Bodyguard) has now been axed!

I actually quite liked last year's package but they need to do something completely new for 2012 seeing as they are the BBC's flagship channel.

Remember the outcry in 2003 when BBC1 re-used the snowflake kids ident from the previous year?

Would prefer not to have the idents hijacked by celebs again - just some really good design ideas would be fine.

Not sure what to make of the Coca-C... Erm, the 'It's Showtime' lettering.
