Thank you so much for sharing. My late husband Jeff (Tarzan) certainly left a legacy behind. What a legend. He’s sorely missed but we remember him and laugh all the time ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss Ellie. Let me say, this episode of the Generation Game is the one that I most keenly remember all these years later because of your husband. He was an absolute star in this. As others have said, Saturday night entertainment back then was worth staying in for with entertainers like Bruce and Noel Edmonds, but the popularity of the shows was due in no small part to people like your husband.
I love this and Bruce is definitely still the king of Saturday night TV and it won`t be the same without him and he`s still my all-round entertainer.😊😇😭❤💯
One of my favourite things about the GG was when things went "wrong" - eg in this case the contestant doors opening by accident LOL and Bruce's over-reaction. And with every panto final sketch there would always be a line that the contestant would read incorrectly haha so simple but just harmless fun, I miss it!
This show worked best with Brucey. More recent efforts have fallen flat. Loved these and the early 70's series. Had a bit of a thing for Rosemarie Ford as well.
Hello from England The GENERATION GAME -twice round with BRUCIE in the 70's and the 90's Such an ICONIC part of the BBC line up on Saturday nights. I remember watching this the first time round in 1991. Watching it again has made me laugh so much again its bought me to tears. I haven't laughed so much since before the pandemic. And what can you say about Rosemary Ford 😊😊😊😊😊🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
@@LondonGuy7352 The 💡 has just gone off You r that Tony Margiotta 😀😀😀😀 And the wonderful Bruce passing away on my birthday in 2017🙏🙏😢😢 but he had a great life. I gave up on all mainstream media May 2020 and my go to is TH-cam I’m glad I lived thru the best times with the BBC -the 60’s and 70’s 😀😀👍 👍 👌🏻👌🏻👍 👍
Yes I thought davidson ruined it. I remember he stood in for Bruce for one show which worked well, but once he took over the show it was a stinker. And the more recent attempt to revive with Mel and Sue was a disaster.
Well, Rosemarie Ford was a presenter of _Come Dancing,_ so of course it's going to get talked about. And no-one would mention the word "strictly" as _Strictly Ballroom_ wouldn't be released in the UK until October 1992.
I tried with davidson but it was awful. I'm not a fan but didn't mind the early series of Big Break. I know he's on everything at the moment but I reckon Bradley Walsh could carry this show.
Now THIS was Saturday night entertainment! Not the rubbish we get nowadays. I miss the 90s 😢
It was so much fun….
Bring back Bruce. Stop watching when they got rid of him, so funny and natural.
Couldn’t agree more! I don’t watch Saturday night TV anymore, it’s usually Netflix for me now!
@@JennyAmponsah Yes Netflix documentaries and Disney channel is good too with national Geographic
Agree 100% ! Recall this and also paul Daniels magic show , it was amusing pure entertainment.

Jeff was an awesome contestant! Good lad
Bruce was probably the best all round tv entertainer the UK ever had, so sad when you see the rubbish we are left with now.
Yes agreed he was a good man... we had so much funny with him on set.
@@LondonGuy7352 Oh, you worked with him! Was he like he was on TV?
@@seansmith445 No just the rehearsals for the episode a good man...
I love this and Bruce is definitely still the king of Saturday night TV and it won`t be the same without him and he`s still my all-round entertainer.😊😇😭❤💯
Back in the days when Saturday night telly was worth watching, Today's it's Ant and Dec ,
Man I used to fancy Rosie Ford so much back in the day....
Me too she was gorgeous.
So Am I , I miss her
Tony was on fire during the dancing! What a lad! I wonder how he is these days in 2024
I was a bit of a soul boy during those days - still love my music and a few 'Johhny 2 steps' on the dance floor. I hope your well buddy.....
Is that you, Tony? Well my question has been answered. Glad you hear you are still 'a movin and a shaking!' @@LondonGuy7352
Rosemarie Ford, what a lady ...
thanku for sharing this this is the best all round entrainer ever period
A young Bruce Forsyth. I miss Saturday night Tv like this 🙁
I`m definitely agree with you and I do love Bruce Forsyth so much and I still missed him and he`s definitely the King of Saturday Night of TV.
One of my favourite things about the GG was when things went "wrong" - eg in this case the contestant doors opening by accident LOL and Bruce's over-reaction. And with every panto final sketch there would always be a line that the contestant would read incorrectly haha so simple but just harmless fun, I miss it!
I remember this show 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was sooo much fun
these 2 are the best
Thanks for uploading, one of the best shows ever made. I am jealous you got to meet Sir Bruce, one of the great entertainers.
Yes he was an amazing dude...
Iam so glad I found this jeff was so funny 😆 good Saturday night 📺 tv
Yes indeed very funny
@@LondonGuy7352 are u still in touch with Jeff?
@@laurajones4218 no unfortunately
I remembered him also on family fortunes he was a card on there to 😀
@@LondonGuy7352 it’s Helen here Jeffs wife. He passed away in 2005 😢 but what a star
When they had good entertainment shows.
This show worked best with Brucey. More recent efforts have fallen flat. Loved these and the early 70's series. Had a bit of a thing for Rosemarie Ford as well.
TV is better when it's Blankety Blank, Family Fortunes, The Generation Game from this era 😀
Yes good days :-)
Your Charleston was spot on!

The mistake the BBC made was to persevere with the show once Forsyth quit for a second time in 1994
i liked it with jim davidson
Yes I thought davidson ruined it. I remember he stood in for Bruce for one show which worked well, but once he took over the show it was a stinker. And the more recent attempt to revive with Mel and Sue was a disaster.
more rosie plz 💞
The wee man who got to the final playing 1st died few years after this
Really how? he was so funny too. We got on well.
56:42 Generation Game's signature item
loved the birds on this as a young man?
Brucie talking about Come Dancing without mentioning the word Strictly...

@@antster1983 of course
Bruce Foreskin
What happened to this country?
Tony Blair....
I know some good stuff back then but now its a new era and opportunity to have fun is all around us.
I know Jim Davison was very popular but I couldn't stand him. When Bruce left the show I never watched it.
I tried with davidson but it was awful. I'm not a fan but didn't mind the early series of Big Break. I know he's on everything at the moment but I reckon Bradley Walsh could carry this show.
Yeah, What a Shame.
