【英语时差8,16】Bruce Forsyth 布鲁斯.福塞斯

His name is Bruce Forsyth and he has been a household name in the UK for a long time. But he is most well-known for his work as a quiz show host and presenter¹ on variety or entertainment programmes. He is also famous for his many catchphrases. It's nice to see you, to see you nice. But Bruce always says nice to see you, to see you – and then the audience have to shout 'NICE'. “Nice to see you to see you NICE. ” His first appearance on television was in 1938. Here is Bruce talking to the BBC about it. That was for the BBC and a lady called Jasmine Bligh used to do the show. I went along with my mother, took my music and my tap shoes and rehearsed on it with a pianist and then went on and spoke² to Jasmine for a little while and she said, "What's your ambition?" and I said, "I want to be a star and buy my mother a fur coat". And unfortunately my mother didn't live to see me become a star unfortunately. I still have the buzz³ when I walk on – when I walk on to a studio audience or a theatre audience. I don't feel 80. I honestly feel 30 or 40 -I don't think I'm slowing down.
