If it's an act then he's not being honest.
Read it properly, 'MOST of it is an act'.
If you see him on BBLB making the sexist coments and getting the boos surely you can see that's an act, right? or at the very least an exaggeration. If this is an exaggeration of his real self, then rather that than him being disingenuine and feining shock disguise at someone whos not 100% pc.
Look how he is suppose to treat the Booby, but it's quite clear he adores the women.
I have to say as well, there are plenty of homosexuals on BBLB and I have yet to se him not be ok and get on very well with homosexuals on there.

McCrirrick's been doing the same pantomime act for 30 years ,it was why C4 Racing hired him in the first place .Because he brought a "personality" to their coverage .Now they want to go all serious because they're the last man standing on UK tv horse racing coverage .(I'm not including the Sattelite channels ,before anyone points this out)
P.S. He knew all the bookies tic-tac sign language - who's going to do that now !
Another British eccentric bites the dust !
Exactly! smacks of hypocracey to me.

He wasn't claiming hypocrisy, he was claiming age discrimination. And he lost the case fair and square.

you mean replaced by one attractive woman in her mid thirties, and one who stands there with far too much eyeliner making weird 'scrunching' herself up poses each time they speak to camera...?? ha ha. I'm strictly (see what i did there?) in the replace bruce with either anton du beke, or let tess continue with another host, say zoe, who does a good job on the sister show.... it takes two..... opinions will differ, but that's mine for what its worth

No, I am.
Quote:But the tribunal panel was told by witnesses from the station and TV production company IMG that he was removed because he was seen as "offensive" and "disgusting".
Yup, the reason, in part, he was employed. Rememebr, this is the Channbel 4 lot that ran big brother for 10 years. Why was he seen has expert enough and acceptable enough for all those years, then suddenly not?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I personally think Claudia Winkleman is very attractive, out of the two I'd much rather go out with her, she incredibly funny and very sharp witted. The scrunching of her eyes is because she has a vision problem. DuBeke seems like a good idea but I think he'll be awefull, the others are experianced presenters, it sounds an easy job but it isn't.

Because different people are in charge of Channel 4 racing now. Different people with a different view.

Brucie hasnt been on the show because of illness and at his age will only be a matter of time
thing with replacing him there are less than a dozen people who could handle sat night live tv to millions and other than Graham norton and maybe terry wogan all of them work for ITV
i reckon they will try and lure Vernon Kay over
think paul o grady would be awesome as host but that wont happen

How about Frank Skinner ,he'd be brilliant .
Don't know if he can ballroom dance though .
Anton Du Beke has got the charisma of a fridge freezer .
