Deathray 2,941 Posted August 18, 2017 Just now, Joey Russ said: @Deathray was that supposed to have a video, or am I missing a joke? There's two videos showing up in that post for me. Try quoting it to pull up the links. Bruce Forsyth appeared on HIGNFY as guest presenter in 2003 (featuring the infamous play your Iraqi cards right skit) and in 2010. Both episodes are well worth watching for Ian Hislops facial expressions alone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry Cryer. He's the Paul Gambaccini of entertainment. RIP Brucie. Though I preferred Larry Grayson on the Generation Game, he was a great entertainer and we won't see the like of him again. Typically and completely predictably, this is probably my favourite Brucie telly moment... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTrost1234 21 Posted August 19, 2017 This is terrible. We went for so long without someone dying, and then we have back to back Glen Campbell & Bruce Forsythe. I didn't even expect this. I think we might break a record, unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised, given the number of people over 90 and even 100. This really needs to stop. I hope we get another long break of no deaths; but I doubt I'll be that lucky. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted August 19, 2017 I'm late to the party here, but my honest feeling was that the next big name British TV show host to go would be Bruce Forsyth and I was absolutely right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted August 19, 2017 Lol. On his deathlist obituary, it said that he hosted the price is right. I haven't seen his game shows, but I know the price is right was hosted by Bob Barker, not Brucie. EDIT: Apparently there was a British show called the price is right as well, which he hosted, so that's embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Americans steal British sitcom/drama ideas, we nick their game shows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,229 Posted August 19, 2017 Yeah, further research shows that there's a U.K. version as well. I feel so embarrassed right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once the UK completes its Brexit move and suffers from the double whammy of import duties and deflated currency they'll revamp the old show and re-name it The Price is Shite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
