Sir Roger Bannister http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/43273249

A good innings that's for certain and from the interviews I've seen, quite a humble man.

David Ogden Steers (Col Winchester in MASH)

No! He couldn't have been that old!

Techno · 05 March 2018, 07:21:58 AM

Sad to hear about both of those.

Roger Bannister, at least, had a 'good innings'.

Cheers - Phil

Farewell, Doddy.

Leman · 12 March 2018, 07:59:36 AM

Thank goodness I was able to enjoy one of his marathons. Left me full of plumptiousness.

Steve J · 12 March 2018, 08:47:03 AM

A damned fine innings that's for sure. I remember his TV show which I never really enjoyed, probably due to the bizarre (IIRC) Diddy Men.

Leman · 12 March 2018, 10:48:15 AM

When I was between about 9 and 12 I used to listen to his Light Programme (Radio 2) Sunday afternoon show, where I first heard this little gem,
"What a wonderful day for giving grandad a dictionary and telling him to lie down outside and look up skirts." The me'n'all brigade would probably swoop on him for that these days.

Poggle · 12 March 2018, 02:38:37 PM

"Tatty-bye," Doddy. Thanks for all the laughs.
