Creamguide's Pick of the Day
-
Trad Jazz Britannia
Friday, 21.00, BBC4It always amuses us when we see clips of Double Your Money and notice the category board includes both “jazz (traditional)” and “jazz (modern)”, though it is true that at that point trad really was big news, the nascent Pick of the Pops spinning off from Trad Tavern being just one example of its hold on the nation’s teens in the early sixties, despite it being influenced by music some forty years old at the time.
A true great and Harry always made it look like he was having so much fun during all the shows he did…
Always a smile and a friendly manner…
RIP Harry
When I was a kid I loved boxing, and I loved Harry Carpenter.
“I take my hat off to Agassi for winning. I only wish he’d taken his off when he collected the trophy.”
A great presenter. Best remembered for Boxing Commentaries, but spent more time as lead presenter on Tennis and Golf.
I liked it when Frank Bruno, having defeated Joe Bugner live on ITV, thanked ITV for showing the fight, but also that he was sorry that Harry couldn’t be there. Always nice to be mentioned on a rival channel.
