"Give us a twirl love, give us a twirl!" For a generation of young boys and dirty old dads, Rosemarie Ford's saucy antics on Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game were as close to excitement Saturday night TV ever got. During an era when Jeremy Beadle and Matthew Kelly were considered big primetime presenters, a good 20 years before the likes of Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue sporting low-cut dresses was allowed on ITV1, the sight of Brucie introducing the glamourous Miss Ford as part of the evening's entertainment was a real spectacle to behold.
An actress and dancer by trade, there were plenty of strings to Rosemarie's bow, but in recent years she has chosen to take a step back from the limelight and spend time with her family. A wise choice and one you would expect from a distinguished figure from the golden years of telly. We're not usually ones for a campaign, but surely there must be room in the BBC budget for one last run of the Gen Game with Brucie and Rosemarie back at the helm? It's just a thought.
