Looking back at this now it's clear to see that a lot of the dancing was Bruce improvising. He was obviously one of those people who rehearsed loosely and then makes it up on the night which was what made him a bit of a nightmare in today's telly to work with, but made for great viewing and a great deal of admiration for Anton keeping up. R.I.P a national treasure, you were our favourite
Today Britain lost one of its greatest stars...i am absolutely heartbroken 😭 My thoughts and wishes go to Sir Bruce's family Rest in peace Sir Brucie, thank you for everything
I reckon Anton is basically Brucie 30 years younger! Just his looks and his reactions to stuff and his sense of humour! Anton may as well be Bruce's son!
You know, I can't even decide which one of those two I love more. They're both so.. so.. Is "Quirky" the word I'm looking for here? Adorable? Sweet? Charming? Either way, They would be lovely as a hosting duo :)
+kevin heming I know, everything has to be the Brucie show! It's almost as if he was presenting the show at that time! Honestly, it doesn't hurt for him to do one performance and have Anton join in. Anton is a singer too and they just wanted a bit of fun.
You know why they did the song? Both Bruce and Anton LOVED the song and Bruce went to Dave Arch (the conductor of the orchestra at that point) at the time, talked to him and then came back to Anton and said "I went to the orchestra, I have got the music so we're performing the song on the show!" Anton was like "Wow... ok then!" They were just having a laugh!!!
+WatchmanFilming he isn't he Is dying right now, hasn't been in the papers but know a family friend and they say he is at wentworth surrounded by family.
I was really hoping Anton would be Sir Bruce's replacement as co-presenter of Strictly Come Dancing. Dont get me wrong, I like Claudia, but I just think Anton would've been better suited for the role, especially since he and Sir Bruce have such good chemistry. I love this video though, it always makes me smile when I'm feeling down ☺

I think they wanted him to be but he would have had to be the lead presenter, that's just his personality and I don't think Tess would've been happy about that after so many years. (Just my theory)
Anton is defiantly THE personality of strictly. (Apart from Bruce of course, may he rest in peace) he is capable of so much?? I wish he would present some shows.
bruce forsythe eh ! what a lad he is , I remember him back in the late 1940s when he used to busk outside pubs , that's when he met Ron and Reg and they got him a job at the bbc , well the rest is history .
So Bruce can sing, dance and make people laugh. And Anton can sing, he DEFINITELY can dance and make people laugh. I therefore notice the obvious similarities.
So the SCD crew have noticed the similarities between Bruce and Anton then. they are a sweet father and son act. The funny thing is though is that Bruce mentions Ant and Dec when Ant's wife (Lisa Armstrong) works in make-up on SCD!
The man has literally owned show business so long he IS showbusiness. Anyone who doesn't give Brucie his dues hasn't been a person long enough to understand why he deserves them.
In an interview once with Claudia, Bruce was talking about who should replace him if/when he retires. Claudia said "Vernon Kay?" And Bruce said "Yes that sounds good. And then Claudia said "Or Anton du Beke?" And he said "Yes, that would be brilliant!" Maybe that's what he wants if he gets replaced. His lookalike taking over! Pass the baton!
During Weakest Link Strictly special, Anne asked Anton about his real name, when asked this, he said: "M-my real name is Anton du Beke. Erm, my father is Hungarian, my mother is Spanish. My brother is... errrr... wanted... for..."He actually looked like he was panicking trying to think of something! I was sat there thinking "But why is he making something up about his brother? Surely he'd know without improvising!
Anton appeared out of nowhere, Apparently there are no photos of his mother or father... He looks and acts exactly like Bruce, everything points to it being his son
Anton's late father is Hungarian and his mother is Spanish so it would be difficult to find any pictures of them. He has two younger siblings but he didn't grow up abroad. Although he grew up around junior boxing and golf he decided to sign up for dance. That's all I could find.
@MrNodzilla Why come on here when this is up for fans of one of both of them to enjoy? Don't be so bitter and take your anger somewhere else. And FYI, Anton would never say anything in an offensive manner. The world needs to learn to LAUGH AT THEMSELVES AND TAKE A JOKE. You included.
The reason Anton wasn't sacked was because he apologized straight away, both to her face and publicly. She didn't take any offence to it and she said on TV that she knew the comment was made in jest and she was happy to continue their partnership. He took responsibility and she didn't see the need to go acting the victim all over the papers. It was a year ago, get over it.
That may be, but he prefers to be called Anton du Beke, so lets just call him that, OK, seeing as thats his preferred name, even if he was christened as Tony Beak or Anthony Beak. And with the terrorist thing. He said on SCD ITT that he is so sorry, to Laila, all the partners, staff at SCD and the viewers and everyone at home and he feels so stupid , and I know that he means it by how he was talking on ITT. Laila's forgiven him, as has everyone else on SCD, so shouldn't we leave it as well???
@kevinturvy It's a skit, I don't suppose it was meant to be brilliant (but of course your mileage may vary as to it's success). Besides they're not a father and son act but I suppose you probably know that though you might not if not a Strictly fan. (Though fans will speculate as to why they look so similar!)
Let me explain, you are missing the point on a few things here sunshine. RUclips has a thing called comment's it is used as a soapbox for people to get there views heard. There really is no point in reading all the comment's about i love this man, women or whatever, as these are written by fans. I like to read the real comment's like the guy who work in the gent's clothes store and bruce came in and threatened to have him sacked if he did not laugh at his jokes.. etc
I hardly think it's fair to say he supports the BNP because he called someone a paki. And it wasn't like he was attacking her and using racial slurs to bully her. Yes he should watch what he says in future, it was a tasteless remark. But i think people might be taking it a tad too far.
Looking back at this now it's clear to see that a lot of the dancing was Bruce improvising.

Have a listen to Anton's recent interview with Rob Brydon...
Today Britain lost one of its greatest stars...i am absolutely heartbroken 😭 My thoughts and wishes go to Sir Bruce's family
Rest in peace Sir Brucie, thank you for everything
I reckon Anton is basically Brucie 30 years younger! Just his looks and his reactions to stuff and his sense of humour! Anton may as well be Bruce's son!
Loved it...It's like those old school duets you use to get on the telly all the time.
RIP, Sir Forsyth.
Didn't he do well?
Didn't Anton do well in that performance as well?
You know, I can't even decide which one of those two I love more.
They're both so.. so.. Is "Quirky" the word I'm looking for here? Adorable? Sweet? Charming?
Either way, They would be lovely as a hosting duo :)
R.I.P Bruce Forsyth.He will be remembered as the host with the most.1928-2017
"Now listen here, Ant and Dec." Love that! I love how a few years later Bruce performed with Ant and Dec at the NTAs!
Becky Boulton What a stupid old fart he is.Everything has to be the Brucie show.
+kevin heming I know, everything has to be the Brucie show! It's almost as if he was presenting the show at that time! Honestly, it doesn't hurt for him to do one performance and have Anton join in. Anton is a singer too and they just wanted a bit of fun.
Don't you realise that Brucie was joking and sending himself up?!
You know why they did the song? Both Bruce and Anton LOVED the song and Bruce went to Dave Arch (the conductor of the orchestra at that point) at the time, talked to him and then came back to Anton and said "I went to the orchestra, I have got the music so we're performing the song on the show!" Anton was like "Wow... ok then!" They were just having a laugh!!!
That note at the end that Anton hit, very underrated singer
Although He is Nearly 90, Brucie has still got that tap dancing Power! Bless Him, He's our TV Treasure!!
+WatchmanFilming he isn't he Is dying right now, hasn't been in the papers but know a family friend and they say he is at wentworth surrounded by family.
brucie a true legend one of the greats
Brilliant !! Anton is an all round dancer too!!
Congratulations SIR BRUCE FORSYTHE, and thanks for all the wonderfull memories.
I was really hoping Anton would be Sir Bruce's replacement as co-presenter of Strictly Come Dancing. Dont get me wrong, I like Claudia, but I just think Anton would've been better suited for the role, especially since he and Sir Bruce have such good chemistry.
I love this video though, it always makes me smile when I'm feeling down ☺

Rest in peace Sir Brucie, thank you for everything
I think they wanted him to be but he would have had to be the lead presenter, that's just his personality and I don't think Tess would've been happy about that after so many years. (Just my theory)
I don't think Anton would agree to presenting Strictly. He wouldn't be able to dance on the show otherwise! 😁
I think Hole In The Wall was the trial to put him in the presenter role, and we all know how awful that was 😂😂
Same
Anton is defiantly THE personality of strictly. (Apart from Bruce of course, may he rest in peace) he is capable of so much?? I wish he would present some shows.
He is been there for so many years that at this point either he hosts the show o judges the couples.
Adore it!!
0:27 that’s face had me laughing so hard.
AGREED
This clip is awesome!! Was away last year so missed most of Strictly, can't believe l didn't know for a year about this duet. LOVE IT!!!
great double act.
Rest in peace, my friend from across the pond.
bruce forsythe eh ! what a lad he is , I remember him back in the late 1940s when he used to busk outside pubs , that's when he met Ron and Reg and they got him a job at the bbc , well the rest is history .
I love the joke with "Now listen here, Ant and Dec... I mean Anton du Beke"
The guy could present, sing, dance and tell jokes. Even when he was in his old age. There won't be another like him.
Strictly Will never be the same
RIP Bruce remember it is nice to see u to see u NICE
Awww I love these two together, this clip always makes me smile, :D
And i STILL love it! :)
I think they're two funny guys and I think they come across as being two genuinely nice guys. Good luck to them both.
So Bruce can sing, dance and make people laugh.
And Anton can sing, he DEFINITELY can dance and make people laugh.
I therefore notice the obvious similarities.
RIP Bruce. A true legend.
love this anton and brucie are legends
0.28 face kills me
So the SCD crew have noticed the similarities between Bruce and Anton then. they are a sweet father and son act. The funny thing is though is that Bruce mentions Ant and Dec when Ant's wife (Lisa Armstrong) works in make-up on SCD!
I think anton will look just like Bruce when he is older
Same
Ooohhh brilliant ballet Anton!
LOVE LOVE THEM
brucie is such a legend!!
Great Father and secret son partnership:)
2:02 Fast forward 11 years later and sometime before that and that's just what Anton is.
Came here after hearing the sad news about Brucie, so sad, rest in peace x
Brilliant loved watching them together
Goodbye Brucie. Didn't he do well, ladies and gentlemen?
still my favourite video ever❤️rip brucie you legend❤️❤️
love it. brilliant
The man has literally owned show business so long he IS showbusiness. Anyone who doesn't give Brucie his dues hasn't been a person long enough to understand why he deserves them.
I'm back in college was at 34 with a bunch of children, they've all bin order to search his 90s shows on utube
RIP Sir Bruce you will be missed
it is class beyond compare just watch Bruce dance you think that Anton is struggling to keep up at points
Lauren Campbell um I don’t think anton was struggling at any point, let’s just remember that anton is a professional dancer.
Love it
Rest in piece Bruce
Anton would make a great host or judge on the show
ive looking for this for ages
RIP BRUCE
Those two just make me smile! Did you notice at around 3:17 that Brucie tripped a little?
Very amusing. "I'm the star"! hehe :)
AWW - I love it.
Superb
this is heaven. bruce is a legend, maybe anton can fill his shoes?
RIP to a true legend....
but thats why we love him
He was my favourite
Brilliant sketch :) :)
Legend.
Bruce is one of the most gifted entertainers of his generation. Anton's just a gurning buffoon.
haha aww, I love this (:
Antons face says it all
This is 100% pure class! obviously some people have no taste....this is 100% better than Xfactor
Not so close I’m the star I laughed to much I couldn’t speak till next hour!!
This what strictly used to be like .not the same dont watch miss you sir bruce r.i.p
It's so bad it's funny!! I mean that in the nicest way possible!!

Yes
@kevinturvy Rob Brydon is actually a very good singer!
Well I liked it...

Essential 🆒 *viewing ⚠.., Tribute ^📺.. BBC 1.,
Sunday March 11th, 21:00gmt !
They look like father and son!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
R.I.P 😞😔😭

1:52 My sister starting an argument with me like...
Anton appeared out of nowhere, Apparently there are no photos of his mother or father... He looks and acts exactly like Bruce, everything points to it being his son
Anton's late father is Hungarian and his mother is Spanish so it would be difficult to find any pictures of them. He has two younger siblings but he didn't grow up abroad. Although he grew up around junior boxing and golf he decided to sign up for dance. That's all I could find.
RIP
That's if he ever does! lol
This makes me feel happy...
but these were days when Anton´s stock was much higher
Love Anton. And Brucie. But the poor chap's getting old... Anton would make a great replacement, me thinks. ;P
@1Thompsonmusic I know, he meant it in a jokey way and it was all blown up out of proportion.
I miss Brucie!
@MrNodzilla Why come on here when this is up for fans of one of both of them to enjoy? Don't be so bitter and take your anger somewhere else. And FYI, Anton would never say anything in an offensive manner. The world needs to learn to LAUGH AT THEMSELVES AND TAKE A JOKE. You included.
Like to see you do better... he is a classic entertainer, perfect for strictly.
The reason Anton wasn't sacked was because he apologized straight away, both to her face and publicly. She didn't take any offence to it and she said on TV that she knew the comment was made in jest and she was happy to continue their partnership. He took responsibility and she didn't see the need to go acting the victim all over the papers. It was a year ago, get over it.
That may be, but he prefers to be called Anton du Beke, so lets just call him that, OK, seeing as thats his preferred name, even if he was christened as Tony Beak or Anthony Beak. And with the terrorist thing. He said on SCD ITT that he is so sorry, to Laila, all the partners, staff at SCD and the viewers and everyone at home and he feels so stupid , and I know that he means it by how he was talking on ITT. Laila's forgiven him, as has everyone else on SCD, so shouldn't we leave it as well???
@kevinturvy It's a skit, I don't suppose it was meant to be brilliant (but of course your mileage may vary as to it's success). Besides they're not a father and son act but I suppose you probably know that though you might not if not a Strictly fan. (Though fans will speculate as to why they look so similar!)
@thelucycook Me too =D xxx
Hard to believe that Brucie is 80 with those moves, no wonder Anton was nervous before hand (that and the guy's a legend =P)!
Who's Barsey Dusell(sp)?
your loss!
Didn't they do well! R.i.p Brucie.
Let me explain, you are missing the point on a few things here sunshine.
RUclips has a thing called comment's it is used as a soapbox for people to get there views heard.
There really is no point in reading all the comment's about i love this man, women or whatever, as these are written by fans.
I like to read the real comment's like the guy who work in the gent's clothes store and bruce came in and threatened to have him sacked if he did not laugh at his jokes.. etc
I hardly think it's fair to say he supports the BNP because he called someone a paki. And it wasn't like he was attacking her and using racial slurs to bully her. Yes he should watch what he says in future, it was a tasteless remark. But i think people might be taking it a tad too far.
Fine then. Just if you say Tony Beak, everyone will just say "Who?" and you would have to say "Anton du Beke."
