Earl Gloomy 7 Posted September 14, 2004 Funny you should that, i have thought the same for some time now. Its too thick and straw like to me real. I think i prfered it when she had the huge frizzy afro-type boufent like in the days when she presented the BBC's 6 and 9 o'clock news in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

Guest chav Posted September 16, 2004 Did anyone see the supposed Louis Theroux prog featuring Brucie on Tues night? He was looking as sprightly as ever, indulging in a bit of tap-dancing whilst waiting for the lift and packing in a round of floodlit golf in Hong Kong or wherever they were. What a tall skinny chap he is - looking no unhealthier than in the clips they showed from the '60s, dancing with Roy Castle (bet he never thought he'd depart before Bruce). It was a very gentle show all round, none of the trademark Louis-delving into dark pasts. Just nice clips from his career and following him and his lovely wife around on holiday. It's good to see stuff like this before they die - admittedly it would be hard to do a fly-on-the-wall type show when they're dead, but YKWIM... I say "supposed Louis Theroux" show has it was filmed by his usual production crew, and Theroux was even billed in the synopsis, but there was no sign of him. Not sure what happened here, and I did miss the first few minutes and thus any possible explanation - but maybe Louis is a leftfield suggestion for next year? This was filmed in 2003, so why they thought he was in it I don't know. Very strange. I don't think we've seen him since he was floating round in the background when the Hamiltions got arrested for rape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stayin Alive 26 Posted September 16, 2004 I get you on that. Theroux was also hanging around the strings in BBC2's recent dimming stars of yesteryear show, The Entertainers. He used totally unknown people to do the interviews, who you rarely saw, and shot the whole thing on mini DV. He also did something else where I noticed his name on the credits, but I can't remember what that was. What was this Brucie thing called? Didn't see it in the paper.

Guest Malcolm Allen Posted February 8, 2005 I am writing a small history of the Transport Golfing Society which goes back to 1932. At the annual dinner we have had many famous names as entertainers. In the 1958 programme Bruce Forsythge and Anne Romain are featured. Was this a double act, and who was Anne? Malcolm Allen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mortician 2 Posted February 23, 2005 Had a BAFTA tribute last week, means in sickeningly good health.

Good call Mortician, but someone like Brucie won't die slowly in his bed. He's a trooper and proud of it. On stage at the Palladium is my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josco 49 Posted February 23, 2005 The BBC would never use up their best obituary material on a tribute if there was any chance of short term karking it.... Another couple of years at least.

Hmm, when the powers that be start showering Life Time Achievement awards on celebs it means they get nervous. Old age of the celeb may be the only reason, but often inside information plays a role. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest White Hawk Posted March 28, 2005 I just a posted this particularly un-structured and possibly offensive rant on Ozone Asylum, then did a little browsing and found this thread. Brucey-related postage follows: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/25352 What can I say? This man is made of material sterner than your average OAP. He has provided this country with the most widely-emulated entertainment style and character ever devised (though I very much doubt that he 'devised' the image he carries-off with such flair). His uniquely recognisable style and charm will most definitely out-live his mortal presence. This man has lived a dream. Now, in his dotage, he is still providing us with entertainment of a quality unsurpassed! Still tripping the light-fantastic with real old-school style, pattering wittily with the best of latter-day presenters, and drawing the crowds as host of various shows (and in doing so, raising their popularity to unbelievable levels). Theroux couldn't rip him to shreds because their is nothing to dig up! The fellow is truly what he seems - an amusing, charming, good-homoured, and genuinely decent chap with an abundance of talent and the grace to share it with all of us... ...that, and he probably knew he'd be castrated for attempting to shovel sh*t on such a cherished national treasure. Being of the opinion that most the shoddy trash I grew-up with was beneath my childish contempt, and that TV today has about as much value as a soiled syringe, I think that a man with Bruce's obvious talent and devotion should be recognised for raising the standards of television entertainment in Britain. For this reason, and also because I may be a little less than sober, I'm seriously considering initiating a wide-spread campaign for his nomination for a knighthood. If the ignorant, facile, irrelevant, tuneless, talentless, un-charitable and grotesque can make it to the list, then surely one single gentleman of infinitely-more worth may just escape filtration and be granted the honour that he is sorely due? Give this man the honour he desrves! A Knighthood for Bruce! Yeah-yeah, you can stop laughing now - I'm actually not very nice to people who laugh at me... though since the medication started, they have only had to use the tranquiliser gun every few days. Well, every other day then, but I'm getting better. Honest..! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
