Sir Bruce continued to perform on stage throughout the 1960s and, in 1971, took on the job which would make him a huge household name.
It was on Bruce Forsyth And The Generation Game that the entertainer introduced the world to his 'The Thinker' pose - emulating Rodin's statue.
Sir Bruce left the BBC in 1978 to present a show on ITV - but that turned out to be a flop.
