Well I'm probably in the minority because I found his presentation style generally rather irritating, but I still mourn his passing. A decent innings though, and a life very well lived.

I don't think I ever watched a Brucie show all the way through aside from some Generation Game episodes in the 70s. I acknowledge him as a popular entertainer but he wasn't my cup of Assam.

I can see why he was popular though, he was incredibly charismatic and knew how to play to the crowd.

He seemed to have a large following among the older folk but always came across as a thoroughly decent bloke. To remain in demand for as long as he did, Brucie did indeed do well.

He also won the award for having the wife with the oddest name.

In the early to mid 70's, the Generation Game was almost compulsory viewing in our household. We led a sheltered childhood!

It just wasn't the same when Larry Grayson took it over.

He did not seem to age from the 70's till now, you could sell that for big bucks, let alone Buck Rodgers.
