Goodness, the king of the catch phrase and I guess an all round good egg. He seemed to be going forever.
Another treasure gone

Now that's sad, another great character gone off-stage, never to return.

Will we find out now that he was a massive peado

When they lower him into the grave I think people should shout higher, lower etc.

It wouldn't be disrespectful because if he could be there Brucie would be the one leading the shouts I'm sure.

He's now safe from the long arms of the law

I loved The Generation Game as a kid ; we all secretly coveted the Goblin teasmade.

 

[Wookey]

I will never forget the day I was sitting in the editors chair at the Pink Paper, when one of my journos picked up the phone, turned to me and said: "Wookey, I've got Bruce Forsyth on the phone, I shit you not..."

The week before I'd run a showbiz gossip column by Ben Summerskill, which had made reference to the time Bruce had his BBC contract terminated without warning. Forsyth said at the time that the commissioner (a Mr Manly) was anything but manly, because he hadn't even had the guts to tell Bruce to his face.

Our columnist had pointed out that Commissioner Manly was openly gay, and was Bruce making a comment on the masculinity of gay people?

It was a really low shot by the columnist, not one I was about to defend to be honest. But Bruce was a total gentleman about it. He said: "I love gay people, always have. I was friends with Kenneth, I was mates with Frankie... This really hurts to think that someone has understood me so wrongly...

"Wookey, if I wrote you a letter explaining this, would you consider printing it?"

Of course we would, and we did.

He came across as a humble, polite and really good man, still cared about his public image, and his gay-friendly credentials even into his 70s.

One of my fave phone calls ever, even though technically I was getting a bollocking off Bruce, it didn't feel like that.

Clever.

I will think of him next spring.

The seemingly indestructable Lemmy's passing heralded no end of famous deaths, I hate to think who's gonna pop off after Brucie.

 

[Sirena]

Good game good game

Hope you're playing it at home!

And so concludes the stitched up travesty that was my work place's celebrity death pool. The current colleague that run the thing walks away with 300 odd quid and I'm a fiver better off a month. Fucking Cliff Richard and fucking Dolly Parton I had no chance.

Bye bye Brucie. A good Edmonton lad like myself (I think we went to the same school).

RIP Brucie
