That was Andrew Neil. They have similar "hair" "styles". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Mid to late 70's was the golden age for tv and the likes of Brucey, Morecambe & Wise, 2 Ronnies, Tommy Cooper etc, made staying in on a Saturday night almost compulsory. Most of the stars of that era have passed away but it was an absolute privilege to see them on the box. "Life is the name of the game................." Unfortunately, your game has ended Brucey. "Nice to see you, to see you nice." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Haha, just remembered Good Morning Britain read out a tweet this morning on Barcelona along the lines of "I was there just 8 months ago, scary to think...." etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nice to see you, to see you nice." To be fair, there was some absolute pish on TV back then as well. There was only 3 channels so choice was very limited. Its easy to look back with rose tinted specks but I do remember being bored out of my skull watching showjumping on a Saturday evening or utterly shite variety programmes like "London night out".

I don't think he's ever made a joke that made anyone not in a live TV audience with an electronically controlled butt plug up their arse, laugh. Seem to remember he was mates with Pinochet, utterly pointless c**t of a man. Condolences to the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to get up aff yer arse to change the channel and it wasn't just a case of pressing a button, you had to tune in with the dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
