10:31 pm
science, politics, music and business, just some of the industries that those who sat for these portraits represent. with a list of more than 750 names, simon is hoping that this collection isjust the beginning. the images include line of duty star thandie newton, the new editor in chief of british vogue, edward enninful, and singer laura mvula. i think probably one of my favourite shots is this one of sir trevor. an honour is how dj and presenter trevor nelson feels about being part of it. i didn't realise how seismic it was until i'd actually visited the magnitude of the place is ridiculous. it's like the whole history of this country in pictures and portraits. to feel like a part of it is to feel like a bit of the brickwork, maybe, like we're permanently here. which is great. and as for the man behind

10:35 pm
and dawid malan made 65. cook was heading for 200, and the way he got there was sadly symbolic of west indies in this match. well, anyway, cook just smiles and scores. 514 was enough for england, they declared and bowled, immediate success as declared and bowled, immediate success 3s anderson declared and bowled, immediate success as anderson struck. the watch had turned, batting now seemed treacherous. power was dropped and west indies were one down, 44 scored. when rain came. here is the reminder why day—night test match cricket may struggle to catch on in england. english summer nights can be cold and wet. time for some football lines

antoino conte told the striker he had no future at the club at the end of last season, and since then the pair have had a bitter relationship. conte has managed to see the funny side though when asked about the striker saying he'd been treated like a criminal. laughter it's great, it's great. i am not interested to continue this issue. i repeat for me, it's the past. meanwhile burnley manager sean dyche says he'd prefer to see the transfer window close before the premier league starts. last week, burnley sold striker andre gray to watford three days before their opening game. and now he knows exactly the type of player he wants to bring in. one that gets the ball, whack it is

world champion ronnie o‘sullivan. he comfortably beat david gilbert 5—2 and will play another former world champion graham dot in the next round. that‘s all from sportsday. more from the bbc sport centre later. now it‘s time for the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are journalist and author sarfraz manzoor and laura hughes, political correspondent at the daily telegraph. for whom this
10:41 pm
is going to be quite an education. welcome to you both. tomorrow‘s front pages then. the daily mail dedicates its front page to sir bruce forsyth who has died aged 89. the paper says he had been unwell and died with his family at his side. the daily express also gives a full page to sir bruce. the sun called him the best—loved telly legend. the mirror alsojoins in commemorations for the entertainer dedicating seven pages in this edition to his legacy. the telegraph has a tribute but leads with the attacks in barcelona saying spanish security services have begun an extensive manhunt for the remaining killers. the times also leads with the as in spain with the news —— with the attacks in spain with the news that the police

are focussing their efforts in north africa the guardian writes that terrorists had planned a bombing raid across barcelona but abandoned when they blew up a house where they we i’e when they blew up a house where they were stockpiling explosives. bruce forsyth has died at the age of 89. we of course remember him from many of his game shows. back in the day. you know, we tell our children off for watching too much telly, we we i’e off for watching too much telly, we were obviously fans of the small screen because we were obviously fans of the small screen because we know a lot of the work. the sun has a lot of famous quotes. higher higher, lower lower, and nice to see you and things. i was thinking that i was on twitter earlier and a couple of people were moaning about how the bbc is headlining and going first on bruce forsyth as opposed to other stories, and it struck me the thing about someone like forsyth is they‘re one—offs, there is never going to be somebody who is 89 who has managed to have a careerfor 60
10:43 pm
somebody who is 89 who has managed to have a career for 60 years somebody who is 89 who has managed to have a careerfor 60 years in television and we are from different ages and what‘s interesting is that the bruce forsyth i remember is from the bruce forsyth i remember is from the 70s, the generation game and there were people in the 60s remember him from the palladium and then strictly, this is somebody, every generation has their own bruce forsyth and that‘s not going to happen again. an extraordinary career and he came to younger people‘s attention through strictly and the talent he had was the same no matter what he did. he reached my younger sister, who is eight, she will know who he is. so, despite the age difference the youngest people in our society will know and recognise who he is and who he was. i can't think of an equivalent to him today that was so multitalented, that had so many different skills, i'iow that had so many different skills, how we that had so many different skills, now we have comedians and dancers and singers, we don't have those wonderful characters as much. the other thing that‘s interesting, he started out when he was 14. i think
10:44 pm
when he was 16 he was entertaining troops before d—day but he didn‘t get his gig on tv until he was 30. so he had 16 years to hone his craft. today, you only have to do, bea craft. today, you only have to do, be a dodgy pop band and before you know it you are presenting a programme. now people can be famous for five minutes and they're gone. there is a lovely picture of him, nice to see you, to see you nice. so many catchphrases. you get away with being cheesy in a way that other people couldn't. joining in, the brits are so reserved and when he got you to call out, grown men replied to him. the secret of somebody who can last that long is that ultimately you felt like you had — he was being honest but it was who he really was. i think that‘s ha rd to who he really was. i think that‘s hard to fake that honesty and that‘s why he had that relationship which meant he wasn‘t smarmy with the audience. he was actually cheeky
