The fact that people campaigned for him to have a knighthood and that it was long awaited says it all. What have these mega rich celebs done to deserve such accolade? it's the lollipop man or woman who for the past 40 years has helped kids cross the road in the cold and rain that should be getting the bloody knighthood not these people!
I think it helps to be a certain age to "get" Brucie. Probably over 40. Personally, while I can see what might irritate people about him, I loved the episodes of Generation Game that he hosted. His other shows pale behind that for me, but stick the Gen Game on and I'm always guaranteed to be entertained. They're also interesting from a historic/social point of view now. It was a simpler time and people were less demanding, but that show had a certain something, and Bruce did it best.
Yikes, apparently there are a lot of English people who don't care for Bruce Forsyth. I'd only met two so far, but that's what happens when you live across the pond.
I really wish Brucie would bugger off. He is 83 years old and long past his sell by date. Compare his continued zombie like existence to Ronnie Barker's graceful exit before he hit his 60s. Fine he has got a knighthood. Have the ceremony with the requisite pictures of him in his stupid bloody Generation Game pose. Then Brucie do us all a favour and fucking retire!
@densaner77 Why don't you do us a favour and shut the fuck up you whiney bitch! You and the rest of the minority are just jealous that this man has done more to entertain people than you will ever do! The reason that he keeps doing it at 83 is because people still love him. Which is more that can be said about your sad state of a life!
@paulod27. Calm down Brucie. It is you isn't it? Why don't you fuck off and retire? You've had 50+ years at the top. You are past it son, well past it. Some people might like you I don't. I think you are a prick who has stayed around for too long. As other people have pointed out firemen and nurses make a far greater contribution to society than assholes like you, where is their knighthoods? Leave the stage Brucie and try not to break a hip while doing so.
Just a bad, obnoxious, nasty, person who gives people a really bad time who he meets, a womanising spiv. I never knew how he even made it all those years ago because he was crap then and even worse now, I can't understand why people get knighthoods for living the best wealthy lives that money can buy, they should give them to people who do good things in life not footballers or TV personalities these are not worthy of the accolade.
@SGR1000 Shut the hell up you rotten spoil sport! Have you entertained people for decades? You are in the minority of people who don't think that this man is worthy of a knighthood so may I suggest that you crawl back under your covers, put the light out and go back to sleep! Oh and Nice to see you to see you with a knighthood Brucie, well deserved!
@SGR1000 I wouldn't waste my money on those stupid phone calls! That is just a mandatory part of television and sales in general. Okay so you don't like Bruce Forsyth, fair enough, but to just bash him for being an entertainer and being paid for it is just plain ludicrous. If you could entertain the masses you would do it as well, so stop being such a fucking hypocrite! Well said though about the true heroes being firemen, doctors and other health caring professions! They deserve more credit!
@paulod27 Oh i'm not bashing him for being an entertainer i'm bashing him for being an arrogant person when it's the public who actually got him where he is. He should show more respect when he talks to people and maybe the people would give him respect back
@SGR1000 But, people do give him respect that's the point. He got his KnightHood because so many people petitioned for him to get one. Anytime I saw him being interviewed he has shown nothing but appreciation for his fans! And if he has made any mistakes in life then it just shows that he is human! People who judge others need to look inside thier own closets before pointing the finger! No one is perfect my friend, so please get over it.
@paulod27 not according to Justin Lee Collins in his interview by the BBC yesterday just Google it, he dissed him when he was starting off and was rude and abnoxious to him :) So please explain what "good things" Bruce Forsythe has done to deserve a "Knighthood" .........Give up his life to help the dying and the sick ? ...... Saved someone from dying in a blaxzing inferno? ......... helped save someone in a huge storm in dangerous waters?.... saved a child in an explosion? no he told jokes ;)
@SGR1000 Big deal if Justin was disappointed by his idol. People don't always match up to thier expectations in real life. Entertainers are entitled to Knighthoods as much as anyone and Bruce had to wait a long time for his, and it was justly deserved. It's nice that you consider people who help others in such a way, but that's not the way knighthoods are dealt with in our times.
@paulod27 2. I have the right to critisise and as I have already stated i'm not judging him for entertaining people or anyone else for that matter i'm critisising him for not being a "hero" because that's what getting a knighthood should be for "being a hero"........... When the knights of the round table got knighted by the king do you think the "Jester" got knighted too? No because it is for being a hero not a fool.... i'm not pointing fingers either no tv personailty should get it
@paulod27 I think he should have retired years ago I grew up in the nineties and watched him on play your cards right or whatever its called I thought he was alright then but waching back now he was terrible 99% of his jokes are not funny in the slightest and its just embarising when you hear people FAKE laughter hes well past it and his ego is unreal he interupts people interviewing him and talks about himself all the time.
@RevengeofShinobi1 Yes the only reason why footballers and tv celebrities do charity stuff is so they can claim it back against their taxes, it's a sham just like the banks and the politicians, they are all a bunch hypocrites who give each other awards which in my view are not worth a carrot. The true heroes are the firemen, the nurses & doctors and the people who care
yes he has been on TV for 50 years but he has also been an annoying cunt for that whole time. we may as well give colonel gadaffi a knighthood too, he's made a lot more entertaining TV than bruce fucking forsyth has
@katakisLives Legend for what??? Wearing a wig??, Shagging starlets and Harlots??,Bad, doddering delivery at 83??, Ruining Kathy Kirby's life??(See her recent obituaries). Where is his talent??
