    Goodbye, Sir Bruce. It was nice to see you, to see you nice.

    (Come on, somebody was going to say it, no ?)

    "And here they are, they're so appealing, ok dollies do your dealing."

    I know he's been off our tvs for a while now. That must have been a sign, behind the scenes, that Brucie wasn't well, especially how much of a towering fixture of the British entertainment industry we was.

    RIP Sir Bruce Forsyth

    Cliched, but it's unlikely we'll see a TV personality like him again. I never met the man but several of my colleagues and mates have worked with him in the past and up until he retired. By all accounts a thoroughly lovely bloke.

    RIP Sir Bruce Forsyth.

    We sadly lose an entertainment legend of the highest order. A massive part of my childhood. Loved everything he did, but I have to say my personal favourite was the magic he worked on the Generation Game.

    Thank you for the laughter Brucie! You will sadly be missed.

    Oh no, not Brucie too.
    He had a good innings, and entertained countless generations. A unique feat and talent, the likes of which are rare.
    RIP Brucie.

    I bet Brucie is laughing his head off up there at being lauded in the same breath as Sonny Landham!
    Forsyth was a Legend. R.I.P.

    Jerry Lewis has died, aged 91 :

    variety.com/2017/film/news/jerry-lewis-dies-dead-nutty-professor-1202533899/

    I liked his movies, when I was a kid. At least, the one from his great period (The Ladies Man, The Nutty Professor). I'm sad, but 91 isn't a bad age to go.

    Very sad to hear, Jerry was a comedic legend. RIP, sir, and thanks for the laughs.

    Rest in peace, Jerry Lewis.

    I just watched a film with him a few days ago, and was reading a book on his life. A multifaceted, complicated person. Guess I'll watch The Bellboy now... my favorite of his movies: 70 minutes of comic brilliance.

    Sir Roger Moore, Bill Paxton, Jerry Lewis... some of my favorite artists. Sad times.

    Coincidentally I watched a bit of the original Nutty Professor the other day.

    Must admit I prefer the Eddie Murphy remake.

    RIP Réjean Ducharme. Great, maybe the greatest, Québec writer. And a true artist and writer, completely uninterested about fame. It was all about his work: http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/famed-quebec-author-rejean-ducharme-dead-at-76
