RIP Peter Dimmock

Remember his late wife too Polly Elwes ..both redolent of the good old days of tv.

I'm sorry, I don't know this person so I can't join in your bereavement. I wish you all the best, hope it all goes well.

Good innings,it used to be my special treat every week to stay up late and watch sportsview which was presented by Peter in those days,he owned a few horses too and had very distinctive colours.

Ribero - Well remembered!! - Primrose with Black Winning Post, Primrose and Purple quartered cap

Fantastic presenter, Sportsview was the highlight of the week for me back then.RIP. Must have been well in his 90s.

1.01 foxy was pisssed.

A classic line up of presenters and commentators for the 1968 Olympics.

And before the moaning minnies start, there was one woman on the team, but she
was making the tea while this picture was being taken.

Sadly Kenny I was not but the wine I had did not agree with my heart meds.LOL

Is that him on the right.

Peter's holding the Mexico 68 clipboard.

The bloke on the extreme right was the trombone player in the original line-up for The Carpenters.

Cheers alun, I vaguely remember the name, but cannot recall him commentating.

I recognise nearly everyone in that photo but can only name 5 of them.
Over to the memory man(n).

Thanks Blackbarn,i knew it was something very distinctive but couldn't remember it was a winning post.
Some great names from the past on that photo,Alan Weeks,Peter West etc.

This was written below the picture, but it doesn't give the order

With the BBC team that covered the 1968 Mexico Olympics, including David Coleman, Bryan Cowgill, Dorian Williams, Peter West, Max Robertson, Norris McWhirter, Harry Carpenter, Frank Bough, David Saunders, Kenneth Wolstenholme, Alan Weeks, Ron Pickering and Harry Walker

Good Work MMM.

What is interesting about this photo is that it encompasses the extensive and full range of BBC Sports bods at that time - from Alan Weeks (a gentleman and scholar of impeccable manners and bearing) right through the full range of gentlmanly attributes ending eventually, and at some distance with the reactionary and sexist fruitcake that became well known as David Coleman.
