Well he can't start fretting about getting a lordship for a couple of years yet. He only got his knightship in 2011 and the civil servants who decide these things say there should be at least four to five years between gongs.

If he lives that long and does get lorded, I imagine he'd insist in using all his titles - Lord Sir Bruce Forsyth, OBE, CBE (and a few more I can think of) - just in case anyone forgets how great he is.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

On the plus side, perhaps his head will swell so much from this latest accolade, it will be his After Eight Dinner Mint (Lord Bruce de Creosote )

Give the guy a break!

If you don't like his jokes switch him off.

Not really the issue.
If BF gets a lordship, for standing in front of an audience and telling bad jokes (quite often at the audience members' expense), and for being lucky enough to live past 85, the title will lose any value it may (still) possess and become a joke in itself.

Giving in to temptation for a moment: would that I could!

Whether or not I mute him on Saturdays, I don't feel BF has done anything that warrants him getting yet another title and I would find it disgusting if he did.

Very well said Chantal, Brucie does need a break from all this.

It's got nothing to do with his "jokes" or watching him or not - it's the fact that he or anyone else should be looking for a lordship. I haven't seen the likes of anyone like Sir David Attenborough or Sir Richard Branson hinting that they'd like to be a lord, so why would he think he should have one?

Or when people who are co-discoverers of IVF don't even get such recognition.
