Is there an easy way to remove BBCode entries from a text field before it is displayed? I guess I need to remove anything wrapped in square brackets from my text field but I have no idea how to start going about this.

use regular expressions replace. this should get you started:
Code: 
replace(/\[([a-z]+.*)\](.*)\[\/\1\]/g, "$2")
