0:00:48 > 0:00:51I will be chatting to a true television legend.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55I don't know if you can guess who it is - slight clue in the title
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and in all the massive pictures I've got around.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01I should point out, actually, this is a set.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03OK, it's not my home, I'm not a stalker.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I don't have Brucie wallpaper all over my house.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Well, just in the bedroom.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09LAUGHTER
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Moving on. No, I hope you like it.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12CHEERING

0:01:23 > 0:01:25They are lovely. No wallpaper of them, though,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I've just got a duvet and pillowcase. Moving on.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- So, hello, boys. How are you? Are you all right?- Very good.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- How are you doing? Are you well?- Shush now, please.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35It's not All About You!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36LAUGHTER

0:01:45 > 0:01:48and for those of you who don't know that, if you're a younger Strictly
0:01:48 > 0:01:52viewer, perhaps, or for those who are stupid enough to have forgotten,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55you are in for a real treat as we talk through his career
0:01:55 > 0:01:59and celebrate his utter brilliance. So, without further ado,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04please welcome the one, the only, Sir Bruce Forsyth.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05APPLAUSE
0:02:05 > 0:02:09# It's all about Bruce
0:02:09 > 0:02:12# It's all about Bruce, baby
0:02:12 > 0:02:16# It's all about Bruce
0:02:17 > 0:02:22# It's all about
0:02:22 > 0:02:25# Bruce! #
0:02:25 > 0:02:26APPLAUSE
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- Oh, that was beautiful, that was beautiful.- I'm curtsying, Sir Bruce.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Wonderful. I didn't expect that, I really didn't,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36but what a lovely audience.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Aren't they fabulous? - Wait till your fans get here.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40LAUGHTER
0:02:40 > 0:02:43But I tell you, before we do anything,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- you're much taller than I thought. - Oh, really?- Can we sit down?
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Let's sit instead.- I feel very dominated. I do, I feel dominated.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- I'm going to get a crick in my neck.- Do sit down.- OK, lovely.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- And a nice set, as you were just saying.- Do you like it?- Yeah.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's always important to have a flamingo, isn't it?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It reminds me of a basement flat in Fulham.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05LAUGHTER
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Good. So I got you some nibbles. - Oh, really? How lovely.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I didn't know whether you were a sweet or savoury man.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- I'm a savoury man, for certain things.- Are you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Well, what I did was I covered all bases.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20So I've got here Battenberg with Twiglets on top.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27- Battenberg with Twiglets? - Yes, a Battelet, I'm calling it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32And here I've got some Jammy Dodgers with cocktail sausages.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- I've got some Jammy sausages. - I think I'll pass on that.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I'm so excited to have the chance to talk about your 70 years
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- in show business. 70 years. - Oh, well.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43LAUGHTER
0:03:43 > 0:03:50Can't believe it. I actually can't believe it. Thank you. Thank you.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53In case you weren't aware,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Sir Bruce is the longest-serving male TV entertainer
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- of all time, so before... - AUDIENCE MEMBER: Whoo!- Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59APPLAUSE
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And before we get stuck into the deets,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- which is youth speak for details, I believe.- Oh, the deets.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I'll have to remember that.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Then here is a 70-second round-up of the last 70 years.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Shall we?- We certainly shall.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Nice to see you, to see you... - ALL: Nice!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25..independent TV personality, Bruce Forsyth.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27# There may be trouble ahead... #
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Oh!
0:04:30 > 0:04:31# ..But while there's moonlight... #
0:04:31 > 0:04:33CYMBALS CRASH
0:04:33 > 0:04:37# ..And music and love and romance... #
0:04:37 > 0:04:38You're such a lovely audience.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41# ..Let's face the music and dance. #
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You are so much better than last week.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Now the minute you walked in the joint,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I knew you were a man of distinction.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Ker-thump!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Oh, I love working with professionals.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And you've won a Brucie bonus.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Let's have a look at the old scoreboard.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Didn't she do well? Yes.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- What do points make? - ALL: Prizes!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19You are my favourite...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30You must feel incredibly proud, looking at that.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32After seeing that, I feel tired.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I really do, because I went through all that. I can't believe it.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39The time has gone, you know... Any young people here,
0:05:39 > 0:05:44make all you can of today because it just rushes by.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- It doesn't seem like 70 years. - Really?- It really doesn't.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- You'll find out. - I'd be so lucky, yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well, that is just a tiny taste of what Bruce has achieved
0:05:56 > 0:05:59so far, so to help us truly understand his success,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02what I've done is I've broken down his career into a series
0:06:02 > 0:06:07of manageable bite-size chunks. I'm calling it Brucie Bullet Points.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- And what do points make? - ALL: Prizes!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Well, no, actually they make very handy chapter
0:06:13 > 0:06:16headings for the different eras of Brucie's career. OK.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So, let's start with Brucie Bullet Point One,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22which I like to call Brucie, The Bright Young Thing.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Hit it, band.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26BAND PLAYS "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller
0:06:36 > 0:06:38APPLAUSE
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Fabulous.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- Aren't they great?- Yes, they're marvellous.- My house band.- Your...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I love it. So, er, we're off, we're off!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- My first question to you... - Yes.- ..would be this.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Many performers, they often see or hear something
0:06:57 > 0:06:59or meet someone who gets them
0:06:59 > 0:07:03hooked into show business. Was there a particular moment for you?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Fred Astaire.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08From the age of nine, when I first saw a Fred Astaire film
0:07:08 > 0:07:13and he danced, it just did something to my brain, my whole body,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15and all I wanted to do was dance.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Fred Astaire films, I'd go in
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and see three or four times.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21What was the first time you saw him, then, in a film?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- In a film, I think it was Top Hat. - Top Hat, great.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Well, let's see the clip that inspired you from Top Hat.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Oh, really? Have you got that?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31MUSIC: "Top Hat, White Tie And Tails"
0:07:49 > 0:07:50APPLAUSE
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Absolutely great. There you are, style.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- It makes your spine tingle, doesn't it?- The best ever dancer was him.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00But looking back, do you ever see that moment
0:08:00 > 0:08:01of seeing Fred Astaire as almost
0:08:01 > 0:08:04like a destiny moment, like you had to see it, that was your life plan.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Yes, and it was the start of show business after that,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10but dancing was the thing that drove me mad.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And your parents must have been quite intrigued,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14A, being told by their son that you wanted to be a dancer,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17but also they must have suddenly thought, "Hang on, he can do this?"
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Well, they were my inspiration.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22They inspired me to do all that I ended up doing.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24How amazing that they were supportive,
0:08:24 > 0:08:25cos they could easily have said...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Oh, no, they wanted to me to...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- In fact, I think they had more ambition than I did.- Really?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Especially my mother, because she used to make all the little
0:08:33 > 0:08:37satin suits that I wore with sequins all over them.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39She'd stay up till two or three o'clock in the morning
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- making these little dancing suits. - Oh, really?- Yes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Because I read that you got too good for your local school,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48so you went to Brixton and it was a five-hour round trip.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well, you see, yeah, she did.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53She took me all the way to Brixton from where I lived.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56This was during the war as well.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Bombs were falling down and all that sort of thing and it wasn't
0:09:00 > 0:09:04the dancing I wanted to do, it was what I call English tap dancing,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- which is all... Can I show you? - Yeah. Yes, please.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09APPLAUSE
0:09:13 > 0:09:16English tap dancing is all...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER
0:09:18 > 0:09:21That looks a bit Riverdance, if you don't mind me saying.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Oh, wait a minute, no, it's carpet, I thought I'd gone deaf.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26LAUGHTER
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Why didn't she tell me, for goodness' sake?!
0:09:32 > 0:09:33APPLAUSE
0:09:34 > 0:09:38But you see that was all the English... It's all up on the toes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Now, American tap dancing, which I loved on film was all bent knees...
0:09:42 > 0:09:45# Da-buh-buh-da-buh-buh-boom-boom bah-bah
0:09:45 > 0:09:47# Dah-doo-doo-dah-doo-dah
0:09:47 > 0:09:49# Bah-biddly-biddly-bah-bah! #
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- It's much more stylish.- All that kind of dancing...- Yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- APPLAUSE - ..which I loved.- Amazing.- Thank you.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Why didn't you tell me it was carpet?- Sorry about that.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02So that was the difference, so that's what I wanted to do,
0:10:02 > 0:10:03because that's what Fred Astaire did.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07So many other great dancers danced with the bent knees
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and the loose arms, it was much more free and easy.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And when was your first TV appearance? When was that, then?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Oh, that was... That was before the war. Anybody could go along.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23It was Jasmine Bligh. Anybody old enough to remember Jasmine Bligh?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24ALL: No.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Oh, I feel so old. - Well, someone say yes.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Those are the times I feel so old, I really do.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34No, I remember. It's coming back to me now.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35LAUGHTER
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Jas... Jasmine! I thought you meant Yasmine.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44She had this show that came from Alexandra Palace, which was
0:10:44 > 0:10:49the head of BBC then, and you could go along and she'd interview you
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and then she'd say, "Well, it's been nice to talk to you. Now,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56"if you want to get up and do your song and dance," which I did,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58and her final question is,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01"Well, what do you want to be, Bruce? What is your aim?"
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I said, "Well, I want to be a star
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- "and buy my mum a fur coat." - ALL: Aww.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- A bigger one than that. Come on.- ALL: Aww!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Bigger than that.- ALL: AWW!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16That's more like it, a bit false, but never mind.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19You're terrible with audiences, you are, aren't you?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Yes, terrible, I don't know what I'd do without them.- It's amazing.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23LAUGHTER
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That's such a sweet...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Because buying a fur coat would have been the sign of...
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Oh, that was the... That was the thing.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33If a woman had a fur coat, that was it, she was...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, she was either one thing or the other.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38LAUGHTER
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I didn't mean it like that. Get out.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I didn't mean it like that at all,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47but...yes, and the other thing,
0:11:47 > 0:11:52if you were a male professional in the business, in show business,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55if you bought a Crombie overcoat,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- a Crombie overcoat was the signal that he was doing well.- Right.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So they were the two things that meant a lot in those days.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04So, in many ways,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- your first break was auditioning for the Windmill Theatre.- Yes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11That just seemed like such an important place to be.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12You had to be there to be spotted.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Yes, you had to be spotted and they were always very good,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20because the girls in that show wore very, very little.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21LAUGHTER
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Yes, I was about to say, I wish I'd been around at that time because
0:12:26 > 0:12:29of the people that were there, like Peter Sellers, Tony Hancock...
0:12:29 > 0:12:32No, they had the sheerest of chiffon tops
0:12:32 > 0:12:35that you could see right through.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Well, it would have suited me very well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38LAUGHTER
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Especially being as tall as you are.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42LAUGHTER
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Wouldn't know where to look for the best.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, I'd know where to look for the best.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54No, but you had to be careful, and I must say,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I was always very self-conscious about the girls being like that,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00so you'd always look them, believe me, straight in the eye.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03If you danced with them, you'd look them...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05You didn't want to have them looking all over you
0:13:05 > 0:13:09and all that, they didn't want that, but it was wonderful experience.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I mean, you can't buy that kind of experience.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I was going to say, but there isn't that kind of experience any more.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Do you find yourself watching television and you can tell
0:13:18 > 0:13:21that someone hasn't had that sort of years of graft that you did?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Yes, but, you see, you, if I may turn the tables...- Please don't.- No.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27LAUGHTER
0:13:27 > 0:13:28I've got to say this
0:13:28 > 0:13:32because I've thought this from the first time I saw you,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37you could have fitted in to my age of the start of the business.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41In the '50s or '60s, you'd be just as popular
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- and just as big then as you are now. - Well, it's because of the chiffon.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I totally see that, Bruce.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49APPLAUSE
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Fair enough. So, yes, so...- But you would.- Bruce, you're very kind.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00You'd fit in to all those kind of people,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04you've got something about you that is, shall we say, ageless?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Thank you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- No, no, no.- All right.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So, in 1958, after years of hard graft,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Bruce got his big break on television.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15And earlier this week, we went on a little outing
0:14:15 > 0:14:17and look where we ended up.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Come on.- After you.- We'll go up the showbiz stairs. Thank you.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Always ladies first. - I love what they wear here.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Don't you love what they wear? - Oh, yes.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- No other West End show has that. - That's George.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- That's George. - Oh, you see, you know everyone.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- So here we are in the Palladium. - We are.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54What's it like looking at the stage now? Are you getting nostalgic?
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Very much so. This theatre means... Well, it changed my life completely.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04I went from a summer season in Eastbourne with just 200 people
0:15:04 > 0:15:06maybe on a Saturday night,
0:15:06 > 0:15:12and then travelling up to London to the Palladium with 2,500 people.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Extraordinary. So, how did it come about?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Here was Sunday Night At The Palladium
0:15:17 > 0:15:20with Bob Hope, Bing Crosby... all those huge American stars
0:15:20 > 0:15:22and you wangle yourself on the bill?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Well, you see, there was no O2 in those days.- No.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29No stadiums and all that. This was the Mecca.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I did have 16 years' experience before I got the job,
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- so I wasn't a fly-by-night person. - Yeah.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42But with me making such a hit on those first few weeks,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I finished up at Sunday Night At The Palladium every Sunday.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46APPLAUSE
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Thank you. You're very kind. Thank you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Good evening!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57# Ladies and gentlemen
0:15:57 > 0:16:01# Welcome to Sunday Night At The London Palladium... #
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- There were only two channels. - Yeah, of course.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- So people didn't have a choice like they have today.- No.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09They used to get the church service over early
0:16:09 > 0:16:12so that people could get home, and the pubs shut early
0:16:12 > 0:16:15because Sunday Night At The Palladium was coming on.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- It was enormous. - You must have so many memories,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20but do you have any defining, favourite moments?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Norman - that was a wonderful show to do,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- but Norman was hard to rehearse with.- Why?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Because he went through everything again and again and again.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34A lot of the sketches that we did, he'd done for so many years.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39He wanted it to work, he didn't want to do anything new.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42The only thing new that we did on that show was the dance.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Lovely moment, lovely moment.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01But Norman was...he was so meticulous, it was unbelievable.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07A hugely anticipated part of it was the game Beat The Clock.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08It's time for Beat The Clock.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11We have a new jackpot which will start at £100
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and we'll be seeing a little bit more of that later on.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17So generally the contenders were all picked up on the night.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Just before the show,
0:17:18 > 0:17:23I'd come out and I'd get two couples from the stalls, to make it fair,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27you see, one couple from the dress circle
0:17:27 > 0:17:28and another couple from the gods.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30And what do you do for a living, John?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Well, I cart London's rubbish.- You're a dustman.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- A river dustman.- Oh, you're the one they got from the top up there.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Oh, good. You said you're a what? - A river dustman.- A river dustman.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Really I'm a lighterman, you see.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Oh, I see, but you collect the dustbins along the river.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Well, er...
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Do you remember the Potters, with the shuttlecocks?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- With the shuttle... How they did that game!- I know.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I mean, I was looking at the clip the other day
0:17:56 > 0:17:59and I just couldn't believe that the woman throws the shuttlecock
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and he catches it in his paper cup.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Lovely. Away with it. Good, good, good. That's one. Two...
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Oh, look at this.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Oh, and those prizes you gave out to them was a very new
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- thing on television.- They were quite expensive in those days.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I loved it when the woman kissed you when you sent her to Paris.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19She was so overexcited, she gave you this massive kiss on the cheek.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22And you have won a weekend in Paris.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26APPLAUSE
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Well, I say.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Lily.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Wait until you get to Paris, dear, control yourself.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Wow!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Wow!- Isn't this a treat?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I have never stood on this stage before.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Miranda, this is a treat, isn't it? - How does it make you feel?- Oh!
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Being back here? - Brings back memories.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54It's got that atmosphere that you...
0:18:54 > 0:18:58you know, makes you feel good, makes you feel as though you're somebody
0:18:58 > 0:19:00that they're all staring at you.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I'm just imagining you coming on here for the first time
0:19:03 > 0:19:05when you hosted it. It must have been extraordinary.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09It was terrifyingly beautiful, it really was,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13from the terror you got from waiting to get it over with and do it...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Does it make you want to be back at that time,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- at that era now?- Oh, I'd love to go back, because I'd enjoy it more.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26- I'd just treat as, "Oh, isn't this...?" Sort of soak it up.- Yeah.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- And we may be doing a little dance, I think.- Might we?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Well, we've got a chorus line here
0:19:31 > 0:19:34because they're doing Chorus Line at the moment. I can't...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- I've never danced. I love watching it.- You just move.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Wow!
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Have you got it?- Does it look as though I've got it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I don't even know what it is, Bruce.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57APPLAUSE
0:20:01 > 0:20:03That was lovely, going there.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Lovely. That was really fun. - I enjoyed that.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Now, we were laughing about the Potters,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09weren't we, who played Beat The Clock
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- and the shuttlecock game?- Yes, yes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Cos we thought, "How did they get...?"
0:20:12 > 0:20:16They managed to get three in that cup in 30 seconds.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18How they did it, I don't know. That looked very difficult to me.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It looked very difficult
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- and I think we should maybe play it and see.- What?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- APPLAUSE - Shall we have a go?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27APPLAUSE
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Look!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Are you on for it?- Oh, all right. - Yes!
0:20:33 > 0:20:34CHEERING
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- All right.- Right, let's go over here.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Now...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- ..do you want to be the man, as it were, who did the thing?- Yes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49- I'll be the woman. I'm dropping shuttlecocks.- All I hope is...
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- You stay there.- All I hope is that this isn't a shuttlecock-up!
0:20:53 > 0:20:54LAUGHTER
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Yeah, still got it.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Tom from McFly...- Oh... - He's at the peak of his career.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04LAUGHTER
0:21:06 > 0:21:10The peak of his career! Make the most of it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And will you be my cock-boy, if you pardon?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Yes, I will pick up your shuttlecocks.- Thank you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- Are you going to start us off? - Yes, OK, now you've got...
0:21:23 > 0:21:24What did I used to say?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28I used to say you've got to get three in the cup
0:21:28 > 0:21:31in under 30 seconds, starting from now.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Oh!
0:21:36 > 0:21:37ALL: Aww!
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Steady.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42ALL: Aww!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- It's getting nearer, it's getting nearer.- So frustrating.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48ALL: Ohh!
0:21:48 > 0:21:49CHEERING
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Ten seconds!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Come on. Hold it.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Keep going. Five...- What?- ..four, three, two, one!- Put the clock down.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Stop that.- We didn't do it. - But that was fun. Difficult game.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- I got one in.- What do you mean you got one in?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Here, McFly, deal with that!
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- What do you mean? What do you mean you got one?- I got one in.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17APPLAUSE
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Right, I'm moving on. - Moving on, yes.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31So, with his reputation as a showbiz heavyweight secured,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35it's time to move on to our next Brucie Bullet Point,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39which I'm calling Brucie, The '60s Song And Dance Man.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42BAND PLAYS: "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Nice.- That was '60s. - Yeah.- I felt the '60s there.- Good.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00During this time,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Bruce was working with not just the biggest names in Britain,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05but the world, and to prove it,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08here's the 1960 Royal Variety Performance
0:23:08 > 0:23:11with the one and only Nat King Cole, Cheryl's dad...not really.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- Take a look at this. - Cheryl's dad, I like that.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Ladies and gentlemen, the very, very wonderful, Nat King Cole.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21APPLAUSE
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Very good luck to you and... - Thank you.- What's it going to be?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37I'm going to sing...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- INTRO PLAYS: "When I Fall In Love" - Oh, no!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- That's my favourite. I love that.- It is?
0:23:48 > 0:23:55# When I fall in love
0:23:55 > 0:24:00# It will be for ever
0:24:01 > 0:24:06# Or I'll never fall
0:24:07 > 0:24:10# In love... #
0:24:10 > 0:24:12APPLAUSE
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- He was the best, wasn't he?- Yes.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21He'd already been on Sunday Night At The Palladium before that,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24because that was the Royal Variety Performance
0:24:24 > 0:24:28and they phoned me on the Sunday morning, they said,
0:24:28 > 0:24:32"Bruce, Nat King Cole's here," because they knew I idolised him,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34so they said, "If you get in quickly,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36"you can get a number with Nat King Cole."
0:24:36 > 0:24:41And he was one of the most gracious people I've ever met.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46We met backstage, and, er, "What are we going to do?"
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I said, "I think Paper Moon would be a nice number."
0:24:49 > 0:24:52He said, "Now what key do I do Paper Moon?"
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I said, "You do it in F,"
0:24:54 > 0:24:57because I'd learnt it in F, I know you do it in F,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00so he said, "I think I do, Bruce, I think I do,"
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and that finished the rehearsal.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05We did it in five minutes because
0:25:05 > 0:25:08we both knew where we were going and do you know, we spent...?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12The Palladium is empty, not a soul in the Palladium,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16they'd all gone to lunch and he played and sang
0:25:16 > 0:25:19all the numbers from his latest LP
0:25:19 > 0:25:23just for me in an empty Palladium.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Now that is a special man to do that because he knew I was
0:25:28 > 0:25:30so interested in him.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- That's extraordinary. - Yeah, it was a wonderful moment.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36And did your dad see you at the Royal Variety, did they come along?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Yes, my father... My mother never even saw me hit it big.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Was that tough for you?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Yes, it was, because she had more ambition for me than I did,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50so I always feel very sad that she never saw, after all
0:25:50 > 0:25:54the years of sewing those little sequins onto the thing, that she
0:25:54 > 0:25:57never actually saw me be a big name in the business.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Always, today even, but I always say that she was up there and
0:26:02 > 0:26:08I'm sure she met a couple of agents up there and she got me the jobs.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- She's been working for you. - I still believe that...to this day.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14And then you started doing films in the '60s as well.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- I did a couple of bits in films, yeah.- Yeah, you did, er...
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- You can't remember yourself. - Bed... Bed...
0:26:21 > 0:26:26It's because I didn't want to say it wrong. Bedknobs And Broomsticks.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- That can go wrong.- Yes, it could be, yes.- There, look, there you are.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Oh, I played a spiv in that.- Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- You look quite spivvy there.- That's David Tomlinson, he's the guy there.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Was this you wanting to be in Hollywood to do films?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Was this, "I've done telly"? - I've missed so many, like Oliver!
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Yes.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Cos I nearly got the part for Oliver! Lionel Bart phoned me
0:26:50 > 0:26:54himself, he wrote the whole thing, he said, "We're not quite sure
0:26:54 > 0:26:57"whether this is going to work with Ron Moody.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00"There's a bit of a contractual thing going on,"
0:27:00 > 0:27:01so for a whole week,
0:27:01 > 0:27:06I just hung about there waiting for another phone call
0:27:06 > 0:27:09and in the end, he phoned back at the end of the week
0:27:09 > 0:27:11and he said, "Bruce, I know you'd love to play it,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15"but Ron - they've come to some arrangement,
0:27:15 > 0:27:20- "so he's going to do the part."- Oh. - And when you think of it, Ron Moody
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- got... He was nominated for an Academy Award.- Yeah.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- So that was a big disappointment. - Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28In fact, I think I'll have another cry now.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30LAUGHTER
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Where's the tissues?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- We've got no tissues.- Oh, never mind. I'll be all right in a minute.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Carry on. Carry on without me.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39You shouldn't have reminded me of that.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42But we've been talking about you in the '60s, we haven't seen enough.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Let's have a look at a clip.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- This is a clip from Whitaker's World musical.- Oh, yes, yes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52# I'm not one for preaching a sermon
0:27:52 > 0:27:55# But I've got something to say
0:27:58 > 0:28:01# What the world needs now
0:28:01 > 0:28:03# Is love... #
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- Miranda, will you stop it? - You want me to stop it?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Miranda, stop it, please. I can't...
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- I can't see any more of that. - Why not?- Well, look at me.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Look at that shirt.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It looks as though I've got the measles or something.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Oh, come on, let's see more. - No, no, no.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27- Just...- No, no, no, no, no. Look, I don't sound like that now.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- HIGH-PITCHED:- # What the world needs now is love... #
0:28:31 > 0:28:33And it's true, when people do an impression of me,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36they still do an oppression of me as though I'm 30 years old.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38They always go...
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- HIGH-PITCHED:- "Nice to see you, to see you nice."
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I can't... Sorry.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- I shouldn't interrupt. - No, that's absolutely fine.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48It's amusing being opposite Bruce Forsyth
0:28:48 > 0:28:50doing an impression of himself.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51LAUGHTER
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It's a bit...
0:28:53 > 0:28:54APPLAUSE
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- You try. You try. Nice to see you...- No.- Nice to see you...
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- Go on.- No, because you don't speak like that.- I don't, there you are.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- That's not you.- I know. - Do you find it frustrating?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09No, it makes me laugh, actually,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11because I know I don't talk like that.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Well, if we can't see you singing then, can we see you
0:29:15 > 0:29:17and hear you singing now maybe?
0:29:17 > 0:29:18CHEERING
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- All right. OK.- Would you?- Fine.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- I'll introduce you.- Yeah, all right.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- Well, I don't want to walk across your shot.- So...
0:29:29 > 0:29:30What are you doing?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33What on earth is going on? You could have gone round the back.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- You've got your camera there.- Yes, but you could have walked round.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41So with his interpretation of the Frankie Valli classic
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45please go wild for Sir Bruce Forsyth.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29# There's nothing else to compare
0:30:29 > 0:30:32# The sight of you leaves me weak
0:30:32 > 0:30:36# There are no words left to speak
0:30:36 > 0:30:39# But if you feel like I feel
0:30:39 > 0:30:43# Please let me know that it's real

0:31:40 > 0:31:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Amazing. Sir Bruce Forsyth there -
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- singing about me. - LAUGHTER
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Time to move on to the next big chapter in his career.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Yes, another Brucie Bullet Point
0:31:59 > 0:32:02which I'm calling Talking About Your Generation...Game.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Thank you.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08BAND PLAYS GENERATION GAME THEME
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Now, Bruce is too modest to say this,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19so I'm going to say it for him.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21During the '70s, The Generation Game was getting
0:32:21 > 0:32:24over 20 million viewers every single week,
0:32:24 > 0:32:25and my family was one of them.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28I loved it. It's one of the greatest game shows ever.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Here's why.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Take one.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Oh, dear!- Oh, don't!
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Where do they get these people from?
0:32:41 > 0:32:42DOG HOWLS
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Ohh!
0:32:44 > 0:32:47If anybody's switched on now, they'll think we've gone mad!
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- Parrot goes like this. - HE SQUAWKS
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Starting from now.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Take four. Oh!
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We'll cut that out afterwards.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07You naughty boy!
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Let's take a look at the old scoreboard.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21I wouldn't even kick that about, if I were you.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I think I'm going to really like this part.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I like it, I like it!
0:33:33 > 0:33:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Amazing.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Just...
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I loved doing that show. I loved doing it
0:33:42 > 0:33:44because I could fool around.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I had fun doing it.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49You never knew what was going to happen.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53I love being in shows that you don't know what's going on.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55You must have felt at the top of your game.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Oh, yes, it was. And because it became hugely, hugely popular.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02And you were seriously famous at this point.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Do you enjoy being famous? Did you enjoy then?
0:34:05 > 0:34:10Oh, yes, although the Palladium was just as big, in a way.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Cos what I'm intrigued by is that a lot of your peers at this point -
0:34:13 > 0:34:17so Tony Hancock, or Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe -
0:34:17 > 0:34:20they all sort of suffered from stress from the fame
0:34:20 > 0:34:21and the pressure of it,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24whereas, you seem to sort of take it in your stride.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26You're much more of a calm and controlled person...
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Well, I'm a much more relaxed person when I'm not working.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31People think that
0:34:31 > 0:34:35I'm that mad sort of dashing-around character all the time.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- I couldn't stand living with him.- Right.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- LAUGHTER - I really couldn't stand it.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44So I'm much more relaxed in my personal life.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49- OK.- And I like having the contrast between the two.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- So you can switch off? - Oh, I can switch off,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- but then I can switch on! - You can.- Don't tempt me.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Do you have a favourite Generation Game clip?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Oh, it was this lady...
0:35:02 > 0:35:06She had to play the part of the French maid who was called Phoebe.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- APPLAUSE - Do you remember? Yes, let's have a look.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11She was called Phoebe and...
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You can't write stuff, the way she did this.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Phoebe, when you come in, your first line is at the back of the door.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19When you get your cigarette, your line is written on the cigarette -
0:35:19 > 0:35:21you read it off the cigarette.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23And the last line you do, when I put you on the cupboard...
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Where's the cigarette?- The cigarette's in the cigarette box.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- You need those. - Does she need those?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30LAUGHTER
0:35:36 > 0:35:38A French maid with glasses on!
0:35:41 > 0:35:43All right, wear your glasses, dear.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45I can't put them on until I read!
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- I can't see anything if I put them on now.- Oh, I see, you've got a...
0:35:48 > 0:35:50LAUGHTER
0:35:54 > 0:35:57I mean, have we really got research people on this show?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02A French maid who's called Daphne and blind as a bat! Anyway...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Come in, Fifi!
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Have a cigarette.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14IN FRENCH ACCENT: Oh, monsieur, you are very, very naughty!
0:36:14 > 0:36:16LAUGHTER
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Oh, monsieur! - I haven't done a thing yet!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Take the fag, for God's sake!
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Oh, monsieur, you are very, very naughty!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29LAUGHTER
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Very, very naughty. Oh!
0:36:38 > 0:36:40"I heard someone coming!
0:36:40 > 0:36:42"Look!"
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Hello there, Daphne darling.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46I was just hanging my coat up in the cupboard!
0:36:46 > 0:36:49But you always hang your coat up in the hall cupboard.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53LAUGHTER
0:36:55 > 0:36:57APPLAUSE
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Oh, dear...
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Sacre bleu!
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Yes, that's it! Yes!
0:37:16 > 0:37:18APPLAUSE
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Oh, she was a dream.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- So good, isn't it? - Absolutely marvellous.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27So, next question, Bruce.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Next question. "Is it true..."
0:37:32 > 0:37:37I've got the next question written on there.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42"Is it true The Thinker pose came from The Generation Game?"
0:37:42 > 0:37:47Yes, you're absolutely right. I did that for a bit of fun.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Before we started the show rehearsal,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52just for the boys of the crew,
0:37:52 > 0:37:56the spotlight hit me and I was standing.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01I said, "I can't just stand there, that'll look a bit cheesy."
0:38:01 > 0:38:05So, not telling them, I just went into my pose.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08And then after, they said, "It was funny.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11"You look funny that you're standing there thinking."
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- And there again, it was born. - And there it was born.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15And The Sun newspaper at this point,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17called you the most important man in television.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22- Did they?- You really were riding high.- Yeah, well, who believes them?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24LAUGHTER
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Well, fair enough! But take that one, that's a nice one.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I'll take that one!
0:38:29 > 0:38:33And you made a brilliant return to The Generation Game in the '90s.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34- Yes.- Would you ever do it again?
0:38:34 > 0:38:40Well, it may be a bit old hat now.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43There's been so much reality, you know, I don't know...
0:38:43 > 0:38:45We need to get back to entertainment, Bruce!
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- I love entertaining, yes. - Me too.- That's me. I love it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52APPLAUSE
0:38:52 > 0:38:55So, at the top of his game and the height of his popularity,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Bruce quit The Generation Game and switched to ITV.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Well, we've all done it. Except my grandmother.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03She'd rather die than watch something with adverts.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07So, let's open another chapter and a brand-new Brucie Bullet Point
0:39:07 > 0:39:11which I'm calling Commercial Break.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13BAND PLAYS: Theme from "Bruce's Big Night"
0:39:24 > 0:39:29So, The Generation Game, watched by millions, loved by millions,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32the press adore you, you're riding high. What made you stop?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Well, I just felt as though I'd done the show.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I didn't think there was more to be got out of the show.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I wanted to do something maybe a bit different.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44So, the offer from LWT for Bruce's Big Night was, therefore,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- an offer too good to refuse. - Yes, exactly.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49It was a different kind of show,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52but I think it would even stand a bit of a chance now.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55We did have wonderful guest stars.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Extraordinary. You had Elton John, Dolly Parton... Let's have look.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13I've seen what he's done to some of my dear friends in the business.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Look what he did to Michael Parkinson!
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Mind you, he deserved it, but I think...
0:40:19 > 0:40:20LAUGHTER
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Do you like more or less?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34# It's a little bit funny... #
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Certainly is!
0:40:36 > 0:40:40# That shines in me
0:40:40 > 0:40:44# Like the morning sun... #
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- SQUEAKY VOICE: - # Ever and ever
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- NORMAL VOICE:- # And ever and ever you'll be my spring... #
0:40:51 > 0:40:54THEY SCAT
0:40:54 > 0:40:59Hold it! Hold it! What's up with you, for goodness' sake?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01APPLAUSE
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I can't believe, looking at that clip of all the stars,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06that critically, it didn't go down, did it?
0:41:06 > 0:41:10No, the press had a real go at it, because I'd left The Generation Game.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15And LWT at the time made it seem as though it was going to be...
0:41:15 > 0:41:20And if you overemphasise that something is going to be so great,
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- you can be a bit disappointed. - And were you devastated?
0:41:24 > 0:41:29Yes, they had a real go, and the ratings weren't all that good.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Then we persevered with the show
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- and we finished with 14 million. - Oh, that's amazing!
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Which, you know, it was a wonderful thing to achieve at the end of it.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42I never regret doing it because it was a lovely show to do.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45You did something with Sammy Davis Jr on Bruce's Big Night.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Yes, he was a guest on that show.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Do you still say that the special you did with him
0:41:51 > 0:41:52was your favourite thing ever?
0:41:52 > 0:41:56The special I did with Sammy Davis, I often look back at it and think,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- "Yeah, that was the best show I've ever done."- Let's have a look.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02# Stole my heart away
0:42:02 > 0:42:04# Oh-oh-oh-oh!
0:42:04 > 0:42:06# Makes me dream a dream
0:42:06 > 0:42:08# Dreams I know can never be true
0:42:08 > 0:42:12# Seems as though I'll never be blue
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- # Sometimes I'm happy - I've got rhythm
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- # Sometimes I'm blue - I've got music
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- # My disposition - I got my gal
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- # Depends on you - Who can ask for anything more?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27# Dancing in the dark
0:42:27 > 0:42:29# Till the tune ends
0:42:29 > 0:42:31# We're dancing in the dark
0:42:31 > 0:42:34# And it soon ends
0:42:34 > 0:42:38# And we will face the music together
0:42:38 > 0:42:44# Dancing in the dark
0:42:44 > 0:42:46# Yesterday...
0:42:46 > 0:42:48# La-da-di... #
0:42:48 > 0:42:50APPLAUSE
0:42:54 > 0:42:57That is about a third of that medley.
0:42:57 > 0:43:02We did every song that was ever written and put together...
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- It was quite something. - I love watching that clip.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08You look the happiest you've ever looked. You look like, "I can't believe this is happening!"
0:43:08 > 0:43:10I couldn't have been happier. It was wonderful.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13We've seen that you can sing, you can dance, you can make us laugh.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- Next, you'll be telling us you can play the piano. - That's what I am going to do.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- Oh, right. You're going to do that now?- I'm going to play the piano.- Oh, fabulous!
0:43:20 > 0:43:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- With your permission? - Permission granted.
0:43:26 > 0:43:31You have a choice, you can either have Grieg's Piano Concerto,
0:43:31 > 0:43:34or Misty.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Grieg's Piano Concerto.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39LAUGHTER
0:43:39 > 0:43:41- Well, you're going to get Misty. - Right.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43LAUGHTER
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Playing Misty, because he evidently doesn't know how to play
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Grieg's Piano Concerto, it's Bruce Forsyth.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52APPLAUSE
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Thank you very much.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01HE PLAYS "MISTY"
0:46:33 > 0:46:37- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Thank you.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47Hold on a second, hold on.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51Because, what people don't know is actually, I can hold a tune.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53- You play the piano?- Oh, yes.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56Well, it must be the best kept secret in show business.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00Yes, I have a little feeling that people might like it if we played something together.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04LOUD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:47:21 > 0:47:27- OK.- Sorry, just a bit further. A bit further down.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32- There we go.- What you're trying to say is, you want to play this bit.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35- You want to be the main artist. - Yes, please.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Yes, OK, fine.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46Quick, let's get back over there!
0:48:46 > 0:48:51BAND PLAYS: Theme from "Play Your Cards Right"
0:48:58 > 0:49:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:49:03 > 0:49:07Time for the next stage into our forage into all things Forsyth,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10it's another Brucie Bullet Point.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Bruce, The Game Show Golden Boy!
0:49:12 > 0:49:13Oh, dear.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16APPLAUSE
0:49:16 > 0:49:20So, game shows. This was your big game show, we're talking...
0:49:20 > 0:49:22We have so many. Play Your Cards Right.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Let's have a look at some Play Your Cards Right.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33- We asked 100 taxidermists... - LAUGHTER
0:49:33 > 0:49:36We talk to everybody.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39If you could practise your skills on people,
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- would you like to stuff Bruce Forsyth? - LAUGHTER
0:49:42 > 0:49:44I should read these beforehand.
0:49:44 > 0:49:45How many taxidermists said,
0:49:45 > 0:49:48yes, if they could practise their skills on people,
0:49:48 > 0:49:52they would like to stuff Bruce Forsyth? What do you think, Will?
0:49:52 > 0:49:54Well, for me, I say no.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57You'd say no. You'd say, if you were a taxidermist. Thank you, Will.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59But, they might have other ideas.
0:49:59 > 0:50:03If I had my way, I'd have him stuffed in my hall any time.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:50:10 > 0:50:12In your hall?!
0:50:12 > 0:50:15- So when people came in, they'd see a stuffed Bruce Forsyth?- Yes.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17That's lovely to know, dear.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19And I could say good morning and good night.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22- And we could have a little dance as well.- We really would.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25So how many out of 100 do you think?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27- 37.- 38?
0:50:27 > 0:50:29LAUGHTER
0:50:31 > 0:50:34- Did you enjoy doing that? - I enjoyed Play Your Cards Right,
0:50:34 > 0:50:36because there, again, I could have fun.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40All the way through with the questions, I could have fun.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43You never knew what the contestants were going to be like,
0:50:43 > 0:50:44which was always fun for me,
0:50:44 > 0:50:47to pick on something that they did that was funny.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51So, did you feel like you were getting away from your comedy roots a bit, at this time?
0:50:51 > 0:50:52Yes, when I look back,
0:50:52 > 0:50:55I do realise, and I know this for a fact,
0:50:55 > 0:50:58I did too many game shows.
0:50:58 > 0:51:03But you see, you could do them so quick, and the money was fantastic.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06Was money often a decider for you? Was it hard to turn it down?
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Yes, because it was so quick.
0:51:09 > 0:51:14You could do a whole series of 16 shows in two weeks.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17So, you would do two a day for four days a week
0:51:17 > 0:51:19and you had done a whole series.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Do you love working? Do you find it hard to say no?
0:51:21 > 0:51:26- Do people ever think you're a workaholic?- No, because I do take a lot of time off.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29I go to Puerto Rico for at least three months every year,
0:51:29 > 0:51:31which keeps me fresh when I come back.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33I'm ready to work and that's good.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37- I do take it easy a lot of the time. - Do you have that performer thing of,
0:51:37 > 0:51:41"I'd better say yes because somebody else might take it and it might all end"?
0:51:41 > 0:51:43No, because who else could they ask?
0:51:43 > 0:51:45LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:51:45 > 0:51:48That's brilliant! Well, fair point!
0:51:48 > 0:51:50BRUCE CHUCKLES
0:51:50 > 0:51:53You joke, but did you genuinely feel that?
0:51:53 > 0:51:55No, no, no!
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Well, you might have done.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01If a show feels good, and sounds good, and the format sounds right,
0:52:01 > 0:52:04- OK, I'll do it.- We're going to move on to our next era.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07I think you'd better. I'm running out of eras!
0:52:07 > 0:52:09LAUGHTER
0:52:09 > 0:52:13Now, we've reached the part of Sir Bruce's career I'm calling the...
0:52:13 > 0:52:16BAND PLAYS: Theme from "Strictly Come Dancing"
0:52:18 > 0:52:20..yeah, era. That's the...
0:52:20 > 0:52:24BAND PLAYS: Theme from "Strictly Come Dancing"
0:52:24 > 0:52:26..era.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29BAND PLAYS: Theme from "Strictly Come Dancing"
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Will you shush! Just shush!
0:52:31 > 0:52:35Really! Just... They've got enough confidence now!
0:52:35 > 0:52:36Carried away.
0:52:36 > 0:52:41So, I think we've gathered that I'm calling this the Strictly era.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Shush! The Strictly era.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46So, you do an appearance on Have I Got News For You,
0:52:46 > 0:52:49and suddenly, everyone goes, "Wow, he's brilliant.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52"We've briefly, for about a year, forgotten how brilliant he is."
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Because you always say, "The phone stopped ringing."
0:52:54 > 0:52:56Then you look at your CV,
0:52:56 > 0:52:59and it was nine months you didn't work in 2000,
0:52:59 > 0:53:03and suddenly, you're offered Strictly. Did you jump at the chance? Were you worried?
0:53:03 > 0:53:04I was getting a tour all ready
0:53:04 > 0:53:07to do with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra,
0:53:07 > 0:53:11who were all musicians under the age of 25.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14And I thought, with a 75-year-old in front of them,
0:53:14 > 0:53:18this could be quite interesting. It could develop into something else.
0:53:18 > 0:53:23And then Strictly came along and, there again, I had the wrong idea about Strictly.
0:53:23 > 0:53:29I thought it was going to be a comedy show with these contestants trying to dance.
0:53:29 > 0:53:34They wouldn't be able to, people would be falling all over the place and I'd be amongst them,
0:53:34 > 0:53:37almost like The Generation Game, picking up and doing the thing.
0:53:37 > 0:53:43But I didn't realise that there's nobody more competitive than a ballroom dancer.
0:53:43 > 0:53:48Ballroom dancers are as competitive as any athlete, believe me.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51When they've got that number on their back in the old days,
0:53:51 > 0:53:55when they were doing competitions, they wanted to win.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58And they somehow got this into the celebrities.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01The celebrities got a little bit good at it
0:54:01 > 0:54:02and then we had a different show.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06A show which had much more to it.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09That the celebrities were also being competitive
0:54:09 > 0:54:13and then it turned out to be such a wonderful, wonderful show.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18And it just worked. How it works, I don't know.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21They're so many different things in that show.
0:54:21 > 0:54:26You think, on paper, "I don't think that could work." But it does.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Every little bit. And I'm on and off like a blue-tailed fly.
0:54:29 > 0:54:34- Like a gazelle.- Yes. - Let's have a look at some of the fantastic Strictly moments.
0:54:36 > 0:54:40# I just want you to dance with me tonight... #
0:54:47 > 0:54:51Nice to twirl you, to twirl you...
0:54:51 > 0:54:52ALL: NICE!
0:54:54 > 0:54:56Flashdance with a quick-step,
0:54:56 > 0:54:58and all I got was a quick flash!
0:54:58 > 0:55:02LAUGHTER
0:55:02 > 0:55:03Seven!
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Fancy scoring so early in the evening!
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Don't tell the others...
0:55:08 > 0:55:10you're my favourite.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:55:12 > 0:55:14One, two, a-one, two, three, four.
0:55:14 > 0:55:19# That's why the lady is a tramp. #
0:55:19 > 0:55:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:55:22 > 0:55:25I'm here every Saturday.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:55:31 > 0:55:34See, suddenly you're sort of doing a different thing.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- You are sort of presenting, like you say.- Yes, I'm a presenter.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40- A presenter in that show, which is my job.- Yeah.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42But I can't get amongst it,
0:55:42 > 0:55:47like The Generation Game or Play Your Cards Right. But it just works.
0:55:47 > 0:55:52The whole thing works and it is a fabulous show in a way.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55You do manage to put your comedy stamp on it as much as you can, I suppose.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59- Yeah, as much as I can. - And do you still love it?
0:55:59 > 0:56:01- Do you still love the business? - Oh, yes. I love the...
0:56:01 > 0:56:07When I walk on, like when I came on tonight, I don't feel 85.
0:56:07 > 0:56:11- I feel 30, 35. Maybe 40. - LAUGHTER
0:56:11 > 0:56:13- As old as me. I feel pretty old. - But I don't feel that.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16- APPLAUSE - I don't feel it.
0:56:19 > 0:56:23Tomorrow I might not even be able to get out of bed,
0:56:23 > 0:56:29- but right now and when we started this evening, I felt 30 again.- Yeah.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33It's amazing that that happens but it does
0:56:33 > 0:56:36because it is what performing is all about, how you feel.
0:56:36 > 0:56:40- Do you think you need it?- Oh, yes. I need it. It's a part of me.
0:56:40 > 0:56:44I am a very relaxed person in many ways,
0:56:44 > 0:56:46much more relaxed than people imagine.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48But I do need it.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51I need that fillip of walking on and feeling good
0:56:51 > 0:56:53and if it's been a good night,
0:56:53 > 0:56:56if it's been a good show, then you feel great.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58There's no feeling in the world
0:56:58 > 0:57:02- like pleasing an audience and knowing they've liked you.- Yeah.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04And that they've liked you,
0:57:04 > 0:57:08like when I do the one-man show for two hours
0:57:08 > 0:57:11and you know you've left them and they are still enthusiastic.
0:57:11 > 0:57:14And you got the chance to then be knighted,
0:57:14 > 0:57:18- be Sir Bruce, of course. - Yes. That was quite something.
0:57:18 > 0:57:21- Did that mean a lot?- This is my little knight's badge, actually.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24- Is it?- That is my knight's badge.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26- There you are, being knighted. - APPLAUSE
0:57:29 > 0:57:31That was the most wonderful day. That was...
0:57:31 > 0:57:33Everything happened that year.
0:57:33 > 0:57:37The show had done well, everything else had gone so good
0:57:37 > 0:57:39and then to get that as well...
0:57:39 > 0:57:44- And do you like being called Sir Bruce?- Well...
0:57:44 > 0:57:48to me, to be called Sir Bruce is a lot more friendly
0:57:48 > 0:57:50than being called Mr Forsyth.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53- I can see that. - Mr Forsyth can be quite...
0:57:53 > 0:57:55There's something friendly about Sir Bruce.
0:57:55 > 0:57:59- I never say to people, "Call me..." - Don't insist.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02If they say it, it's very, very nice and you gave me a curtsy
0:58:02 > 0:58:07when I came on, so that showed a bit of respect, but...
0:58:07 > 0:58:10you haven't called me Sir Bruce yet, but maybe you will.
0:58:10 > 0:58:14- I'm so sorry, Sir Bruce. - LAUGHTER
0:58:16 > 0:58:18It's come to the point of my final question.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21There is so much I could still ask. I want to...
0:58:21 > 0:58:23I was going to say, "Take you away and continue chatting to you,"
0:58:23 > 0:58:27but that might sound wrong and unnerving to you.
0:58:27 > 0:58:30- But we've got so much to talk about.- And I'm not getting bored.
0:58:30 > 0:58:32- I love people talking about me. - Good.
0:58:32 > 0:58:35LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:58:38 > 0:58:41If I have to ask one final question, I'll ask this.
0:58:41 > 0:58:45Are there two character traits about you that you think
0:58:45 > 0:58:49particularly endeared you to such a long and successful career?
0:58:49 > 0:58:53I love to make contact with an audience.
0:58:53 > 0:58:58Contact is vital to me because without them, I've got nothing.
0:58:58 > 0:59:04I've got nothing to offer. I try to think that I'm grander than I am.
0:59:04 > 0:59:06LAUGHTER
0:59:06 > 0:59:09And when they know that I'm not grander than I think I am,
0:59:09 > 0:59:12that's a funny thing for me to play on.
0:59:12 > 0:59:15I love them to laugh when they shouldn't do.
0:59:15 > 0:59:17Thank you for taking the time to talk to me.
0:59:17 > 0:59:19It has been such an honour, honestly.
0:59:19 > 0:59:22And a personal thank you for all your hard work
0:59:22 > 0:59:25and all the joy you have certainly given me.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:59:29 > 0:59:31Thank you, dear.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39I'm sure you'll all agree it has been an absolute honour
0:59:39 > 0:59:42to go through Bruce's career and relive so many highlights.
0:59:42 > 0:59:44No-one can dispute how hard he has worked,
0:59:44 > 0:59:46how talented he is
0:59:46 > 0:59:49and how much pleasure he has brought millions of people.
0:59:49 > 0:59:51And to think, it all began as a small boy back in...
0:59:51 > 0:59:53Actually, do you know what?
0:59:53 > 0:59:56- I realised I never asked you, where are you from?- Oh, I'm from London.
0:59:56 > 1:00:01- Norf London. - CHEERING
1:00:01 > 1:00:03Norf London.
1:00:03 > 1:00:07And as a matter of fact, my father had a garage there.
1:00:07 > 1:00:11- Or a ga-rahge, you might say. - LAUGHTER
1:00:11 > 1:00:14Yeah. Maybe. Where are you from?
1:00:14 > 1:00:17- Hampshire. - Oh, Hampshire.
1:00:17 > 1:00:20Is that where 'urricanes 'ardly ever 'appen?
1:00:20 > 1:00:22LAUGHTER
1:00:23 > 1:00:25Look, Miranda.
1:00:25 > 1:00:27I know we are getting to the end of the show,
1:00:27 > 1:00:32but there is no need to go all Queen Boadicea with me.
1:00:32 > 1:00:35- Boudicca. - LAUGHTER
1:00:35 > 1:00:39- Pardon?- Well, it's Queen Boudicca, isn't it?- Oh, is it?
1:00:39 > 1:00:43I suppose it is in the pro-noun-ciation, isn't it?
1:00:43 > 1:00:46- Oh, dear. Pro-nun-ciation. - LAUGHTER
1:00:46 > 1:00:52Well, this is beginning to sound like the intro to a song.
1:00:52 > 1:00:56- Isn't it? Yeah. Do you think the audience are ready for this?- Well...
1:00:56 > 1:00:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:01:00 > 1:01:02- We'll soon find out. - Won't we?
1:01:02 > 1:01:05We'll soon find out. Here we go.
1:01:07 > 1:01:09Boudicca!
1:01:09 > 1:01:12- # I say eether - Well I say either
1:01:12 > 1:01:15- # I say neether - And I say neither
1:01:15 > 1:01:19- # Eether,- either - Neether,- neither
1:01:19 > 1:01:21# Let's call the whole thing off
1:01:21 > 1:01:24# I love potatoes
1:01:24 > 1:01:25# Well I like potah-toes
1:01:25 > 1:01:28- # I like tomatoes - And I like tomah-toes
1:01:28 > 1:01:30- # Potato,- potah-to
1:01:30 > 1:01:32- # Tomato,- tomah-to
1:01:32 > 1:01:35# Let's call the whole thing off
1:01:35 > 1:01:38# But oh, if we call the whole thing off
1:01:38 > 1:01:40# Then we must part
1:01:41 > 1:01:44# And oh, if we ever part
1:01:44 > 1:01:46# Then that would break my heart
1:01:46 > 1:01:49- # I like pyjamas - And I like pyjahmas
1:01:49 > 1:01:52# I'll still wear pyjamas
1:01:52 > 1:01:53# Well I'll give up pyjahmas... #
1:01:53 > 1:01:57Enough! Enough of these word games!
1:01:57 > 1:01:59We'll just do the dance.
1:01:59 > 1:02:02Love to dance.
1:02:02 > 1:02:04LAUGHTER
1:02:04 > 1:02:07You start over there. And I...
1:02:12 > 1:02:14Hup two, three, four.
