Sunday (13th) at 9pm.

A tribute to the much loved and missed entertainer. He made 36 albums, 'mocked' by Morcombe and Wise, and was a game show host. From a Butlin's Redcoat, he made his way up the entertainment ladder. Tributes paid by Melanie Sykes, Bradley Walsh and his wife, Jodie.

Repeated on Thursday (17th) at 10.45 pm.

A lovely tribute to him. He seemed a very genuine guy. Didn't know he'd written his autobiography 'Bananas Can't Fly', Or that Jimmy Tarbuck had been a Redcoat. 1,384 appearances at the London Palladium and he's on the Wall of Fame. He was a success in America, too. Four daughters and one son, Adam. Let's hope he takes after his dad.

Lovely tribute to him this programme.
