Bruce Forsyth
A dancer, singer, actor and consummate game show host with perfect comic timing, Bruce first appeared on screen as an 11-year-old in 1939, the decade the BBC began broadcasting. Once established on the box in the 50s, he has very rarely been off it.
Michael McIntyre

Miranda Hart
Documentary about the life and career of the reigning queen of British comedy, from her roots in live stand-up to award-winning sitcom writer, and serious dramatic actor.

Paul O'Grady
The unique career of a razor-witted entertainer who found fame as two people – first his drag queen alter ego, Lily Savage, and then as himself. After teenage traumas in Birkenhead, Paul immersed himself in the London gay scene, becoming a rising star in TV. He then reinvented himself in the new millenium, hosting award-winning chat shows and travelogues.
Barbara Windsor
Mel & Sue
Documentary about the lives and careers of Britain's favourite female double act, famed for their beautifully pitched, raised-eyebrow humour, cheeky innuendo, and a clear, banter-filled warmth for each other, which audiences can sense comes from years of genuine friendship.
