Over the years, TV tastes may have changed, but it appears that the British public has always had an insatiable desire for a dose of <strong>Sir Bruce Forsyth</strong> at Christmas. The Radio Times looked at TV listings on Christmas Day in 1952, 1972, 1992 and 2012 and discovered that Brucie has been appearing in a 25 December spot for over 40 years – 1972 to present. Top of the Pops can match that, but the only Christmas Day "performer" that can better it is the Queen, who has been delivering a Christmas speech since 1957.
