Humphrey Burton is 91 today (and, astonishingly, doesn't appear to have ever had a mention on these boards previously). He was the BBC first head of Music & Arts before a stint with LWT before returning to the BBC. 

 

He was responsible for LWT's Aquarius, which was the forerunner to The South Bank Show, and BBC's Monitor, an early Arts programme. He's won 2 BAFTAs and four Emmies and was knighted in the 2020 New Year's honours. He's also the father of BBC classical presenter Clemency Burton-Hill.

Feck, is it legends birthday day or something? Because here's another - Richard O'Brien is 80 today!

 

(He wrote The Rocky Horror Show, appeared in many cult films like Flash Gordon/Dark City, and was original and best host of the Crystal Maze, before any sod goes "who?")

 

Why did Richard O'Brien leave The Crystal Maze? Where is he now?

 

Feels like 3 or 4 future DL names mentioned in the last 24 hours in this thread...

Man’s a true legend.

 

His best performance IMO, for reasons that probably weren’t intentional:
