'Living With Brucie'

I've just watched the 'Living With Brucie' programme on Channel 4 about Bruce Forsyth and was moved to comment. He's 82 and has been around forever. He was a star before I was born so, as far as I'm concerned, he's always been there. He's had huge audiences for his telly shows - one third of the population of this country tuned in to his shows in the '70s. That's astonishing. And he's still fronting one of the county's main shows. So why is he just a CBE?

When you think of all the people who've been knighted by The Queen, how come Brucie is only a CBE? He's been around longer than virtually everyone, done more for charity over the years and kept variety alive. He should be Sir Brucie by now (and he would always be Sir Brucie, not Sir Bruce) so c'mon people in power, make it so. And what about Sir Ronnie (Corbett)? And Sir Noddy (Holder)?

I ought to be in a position of power.
