Yes they always get Brucie on to pay tribute don't they.

Which begs the question: Who will they wheel out to pay tribute to Brucie when he finally shuffles off (if he ever does)?

Reminds me of the Spitting Image sketch with Alistair Burnet saying someone in the world of showbusiness has died. "We don't knw who has died yet but a tribute will follow replacing the advertised programme of Quincy... unless it is Quincy who has died."

They usally either get Brucie or Barry Cryer.
