Bruce Forsyth entertains in Torquay

Alright my loves? TV reporter David Mudd interviews Bruce Forsyth who reminisces about the Babbacombe Concert Hall where he performed in 1955. Brucie is top billing for the summer season playing Torquay's Princess Theatre in Bernard Delfont's Show Time. In the late 1950s he appears in a variety show called Beat The Clock and is part of Val Parnell's Sunday Night at the London Palladium, which sees him break into television with one of his first catchphrases, I'm in charge!

Bruce was knighted in 2011 and in 2013 performed at Glastonbury and entered the Guinness Book of Records for being one of the longest serving all-round entertainers. His first television appearance was in 1939 on a show called Come and Be Televised. Tap dancer, singer and comedian he became one of Britain's foremost game show hosts. He hosted the Generation Game where he welcomed the audience with Nice to see you, to see you nice, voted the UK's most recognisable catchphrase and one of several Brucisms to appear in the Oxford Book of Quotations. He made a comeback in 2003 in a spoof Iraqi Play Your Cards Right on Have I Got News For You and from 2004 to 2013 co-presented Strictly Come Dancing. Didn't he do well?
