Did the title catch you out like it did me when i spotted this in the newspaper and thought how nice for Bruce Forsyth to present Antiques Roadshow to then read on and find it is not Brucie but Fiona Bruce.

I did immediately think of Bruce Forsyth but confess that my reaction was not "how nice" - I would be horrified to see him present the Roadshow!

If it had been Bruce Forsyth I would be expecting one of the experts to try and give him a valuation for sale at auction, being such an old antique himself!

what with all the crap people give him, i just have to admit i'e always liked Brucie.

Very talented man and I must admit the guy can dance, but he is very old isn't he?

I thought of Bruce Fogle!

I love old Brucie Forsyth. He's got a real down-to-earth decency about him that appeals to me.

Bruce Forsyth is brilliant and at the moment I am re reading his autobiography.

Ben Fogle's brother?

No, I think it's his father. He's a vet. Did you know his mother is a famous but faded actress? Can't remember her name. She was well known in the 60s.

Sorry, that was me assuming you'd mixed your names up

His mother is the woman who says 'hello mum' on the ESure ad with Michael Winner.

His mother is Julia Foster.

She was in the original 'Alfie' with Michael Caine, and 'Half a Sixpence' with Tommy Steele.

That's her! I thought Alfie was such a thought-provoking film. I particularly loved the theme song and the line 'are we supposed to take more than we give?'. Very moving.

I think Bruce Forsyth would be good hosting Antiques Roadshow. Look what a good job Des O'Connor is doing on Countdown - aren't they about the same age? What does it matter how old you are - BF will never retire.

Bruce and Des are very charismatic.

I like Brucie but I agree with GC - he'd make a terrible Antiques Roadshow host.
