If Gold ever repeat their Bruce Forsyth edition of The Interviews, do watch it, it's fascinating and essentially tells his life story through interviews.
DE88 and London Lite gave kudos

He is a true tv legend and there not many you can say about that.

From his work at atv to bbc to lwt to bbc to itv to bbc ..

Sad News, but on the day after a terrorist attack with mass casualties the news channels should be keeping the coverage in perspective and should really be limited to a mention in the 'also in the next hour' part of the headlines and a short report.


Thank goodness you're not in charge of a news channel then.

Jane Hill has his death as the top story on the BBC News at 5.

Lead on Sky at 5, but they're still featuring Barcelona with Stephen Dixon.

The BBC is saying the cause of death was due to bronchial pneumonia.

That's from the family statement that's been issued.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gold change the schedule. They're very quick to change after a death of one of their core entertainers and if UKTV own the rights.

I would assume Challenge will pay tribute showing some Play Your Cards Right and Bruce's Price Is Right episodes?

Do they still have the rights to those?

It's worth noting as well that BBC news also had a Nick Higham prepared obituary at the ready.

Let's not forget he was in magnum pi and a USA game show. Which was mention on the forum a few weeks back.
