S1 E1 Bruce Forsyth
Apr 7, 2010Legendary light-entertainment host and catchphrase king Bruce Forsyth steps forward to receive his roasting, with Jimmy Carr looking after proceedings. Forsyth has been in the entertainment business for 68 years, so there's a wealth of biographical material to feed the jokes - and a queue of celebrities just itching to take a shot at the TV veteran. His roasters include Jonathan Ross, Jack Dee, Jason Manford, Jon Culshaw, Sean Lock, Barry Cryer, and his wife, Wilnelia.
