Ronnie Barker Dec 2012 11:57am, 27 Dec 2012 3,237 posts	0 Ronnie Barker I have only just noticed this but I always found Terry Wogan an utter disgrace, he got paid oodles for reading out other people letters. Ditto Jonathan Ross and I am afraid to say, Bruce Forsythe and possibly Strictly. I watched some of it this year and the guy who won, won because he could do gymnastics, which is his normal job. Yes Strictly has jumped the shark.

Jambomo Dec 2012 1:36pm, 27 Dec 2012 3,510 posts	0 Jambomo Princess Diana and the long national mourning afterwards, honestly, you'd think nothing else had happened for the rest of the week with the lack of any other actual news on the BBC. Also (this will be very unpopular) the whole Justice for the 96 campaign stuff. Not so much the wanting to get the story out and the getting justice part but the whole over-emotional, money-making, media driven part of it - there were t-shirts, wristbands, key rings, now they've even recorded a bloody single, what the fuck is that for? I don't think they're quite a NT but I'm sure they will now be a bit of a sacred cow which it's probably not a good idea to slaughter. Ah well.

Regular listeners of FT will know about this one. What national 'treasure' do you feel would be better on a skip rather than on a pedestal?

Someone (an MK Dons supporter) proposed AFC Wimbledon, about whom everyone gets misty eyed but he hated.

Other nominations included Bruce Forsyth and Seb Coe.

We were discussing this on the Rugby Wire (whch unforgivably is *not* called "y wifren rygbi ") as Martin Johnson was nominated.

It was suggested that a wider audience might enjoy the challenge.
