Parky on Brucie: 'He loved being a star'

One of the biggest stars on British television, Sir Bruce Forsyth, has died at the age of 89. His family said he had contracted bronchial pneumonia and had died peacefully at home.

Sir Michael Parkinson was friends with the entertainer for over 40 years. He tells PM presenter Carolyn Quinn about the time Bruce persuaded him to join him in a tap dance: "I thought, 'What am I doing tap dancing with you, I'm a serious journalist?'...I had the time of my life with him."
