Not for nothing is Sir Bruce Forsyth called a show business legend.

"Sunday night at the London Palladium", "The Generation Game", "Play Your Cards Right" and "Strictly Come Dancing" - every one of them has been a hugely popular TV show. And every one of them was his show.

It all began for Brucie 70 years ago on the London stage and the 84-year-old will be marking the anniversary with a special show at the Albert Hall on Thursday.

He's been speaking to our entertainment correspondent, Lucrezia Millarini.
