Brucie

Do you think the Strictly glitterball should be named after Bruce Forsyth?

[douglas9401]

I think it should be called a mirrorball in the first instance.

Bloody Americanisms. :P

[murraymints]

Brucieball would be a fitting tribute

[DTCwordfan]

Don't they have two of them?

[murraymints]

OI behave !! Hail Mary.....;0)

[albaqwerty]

most definitely not.
Tacky way to remember a presenter imo.

(goes away singing, Himmler has only got one ball, the other is in the Albert Hall etc etc ♪)

[murraymints]

aw nooo Albs..I think he'd like that..his first passion was dance..before anything else..

[vernonk]

Well I think it would be nice to see it, to see it nice

[murraymints]

good game this !

[albaqwerty]

Maybe something a little more tasteful?
I know his first passion was dance, but have yet to be persuaded about a Brucieball.

[scooping]

Thought it was 'Hitler has only got one ball...

[albaqwerty]

apologies Scooping, thanks for reminding me x

Himmler had something similar :-D

[douglas9401]

And Goebbels had no balls at all.

[hereIam]

In a word 'no'. I think the tribute they will give him this year will be enough.

Did he ever get the knighthood?

[Mamyalynne]

Bruce Forsyth was made a Knight Bachelor in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to entertainment and charity. This followed a years-long public campaign to award him a knighthood. His investiture, by the Queen, took place on 12 October 2011 and he became Sir Bruce Forsyth CBE.
