Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Finish this catchphrase of Bruce Forsyth's: "Nice to see you. ____".

Answer: To see you - nice

This is one of Bruce's oldest catchphrases. He shared it with studio audiences. The first part of the phrase was his, and the audience would answer with the second part. At first he would rehearse it with the audience, but then it appeared in a TV advert where another actor said it to him, and so the legend goes that is when it became popular among the general public.
