Let’s talk about BBC

This oddball on strictly is going to end up in trouble.

Why did the BBC pick him. Are they that short of celebrity options?

I have no idea who he is.

Daughter No4 did Great North Run for 5th time last weekend, she was telling me a tale about someone whose surname was "Fury", which I vaguely recognised as perhaps being significant, but, it turns out, I had the wrong "Fury", this one is a "celebrity" from Love Island (I think that is what she said), but, related to the one I had vaguely heard of.

Do I have a problem, I am obviously losing touch with reality?, and the modern world, should I get myself admitted to a Nursing Home, for my own safety?

I have absolutely no idea about most 'celebrities', as I don't have a TV, don't listen to pop music, and don't go to see films. I think I've got first call on that nursing home place you're after, if knowledge of popular culture (or lack of it) is the criterion.

You're not the only one, and I'm at least 15 years away from retirement.

I don't follow the program, just caught bits of some episodes. I don't think I ever saw a contestant that wasn't weird.

You get the occasional one who actually knows what they're doing, but they usually end up leaving or being kicked off quite quickly because they're viewed as "not interacting well" because they've given up trying to guide the task properly.

I watch it for the looks of regulation/despair/amusement on the designers' faces when they're asked to do something mind-alteringly stupid to a bit of branding. It's comfortingly relatable.

As for that guy, my main recollection was of extreme arrogance masking some kind of hideous secret.

Sounds like he has missed his vocation, Reform Candidate sounds like his way to go 😂
