DJKillaQueen Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Joanna Lumley? Why should she retire? She's an actress (not a singer or in a band). In fact why should anyone retire if the work is there? I think this thread is an example of ageism tbh.

womanofdulwich Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 i have nothing against older performers like actors or musicians, it is the "presenter"type I wish would retire and let someone else have a go. Terry Wogan and Brucie spring to mind- but then the older generation might miss them; I wish they would just stick to charity work.

computedshorty Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 From my point of view it should be what New so called Comics would you BAN.and the singers that have only one word or a line repeted over and over.The supposedly Real builders repairing those buildings that were faultly built whose Tradesmen are shown not even holding a saw properly ( with a guide finger )and in close up its another bodge that they have done themselves.Ask Dave? I will need a Six by two box soon, but if I asked him, he would make it triangular.

Strictly is the only thing of his I've watched as an adult, and that's definitely despite rather than because he presents.I wouldn't put Paul McCartney out to pasture though - saw him at the Isle of Wight festival this year and he put on a better performance than I've seen from some people less than half his age. If you've still got a decent voice and you've a decent back catalogue I can't see a problem with carrying on. It's when the voice goes like Frank Sinatra's did that it's embarassing.

Dickensman Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Tony Robinson should have retired after Baldrick, Bill Oddie should have retired before the Goodies, Bruce Forsyth has been mentioned already several times, Judi Dench, Stephen Fry is on the cusp of being a great bore of our time, Terry Wogan has left his broadcasting spot perhaps now he might be banned from the box.Angus Deayton should be brought back from retirement.
