A true entertainer.

I loved the Generation Game (followed by The Two Ronnies) on a Saturday night when I was young 

Our thoughts are with Brucie's family

Couldn't stand him myself, but a great entertainer if he was your cup of tea. You have to admire anyone who can stay in the public eye constantly for as long as he did. And without griping about the "pressure of fame" like so many of the younger so-called stars.

Hi Ian,

I watched that as well, it brought back many memories, I liked Bruce but maybe he should have kept some of jokes to himself.

We watched the tribute as well.

Very well put together I thought,

He wasn't that good at telling  jokes,but he had good comic timing.In his prime he was quick.Very funny as I said a great alrounder.Although he went through  a few marriages a big family  man.My thoughts are with them.Keep dancing in heaven Bruce

Our thoughts on the tribute were that a lot of it had been filmed earlier, maybe as a 90th birthday program. it was a good production.

His timing was spot on and his way with dealing with people making them feel at ease was exemplary. Sadly his era of entertainers is now coming to an end, how many of the so called stars of today will still be around in 75 years.

How many of them would you want to be still around? Precious few I think!

It was definitely produced in advance possibly as yo say for his 90th or given his recent health status in preparation for this sad time.

Talking of legendary entertainers I have just found out that Ken Dodd is playing 2 shows (today and tomorrow) near us at Whitley Bay Playhouse. Sold out of course.

I saw him years ago at Blackpool and laughed so much it was painful

I can't think of many of today's entertainers who will be rembered the way they are
