	Dimbleby, Richard
		Richard Dimbleby was the personification of British television current affairs broadcasting in the 1950s and early 1960s and set the standard for succeeding generations of presenters on the network, by whom he was recognized as the virtual founder of broadcast journalism.
		Dimbleby did, though, also tackle lighter fare, and was much loved as chairman of the radio programme Twenty Questions and as presenter of the homely Down Your Way series, in which he sought out prominent members of a given locality and passed the time of day with them.
		Dimbleby's premature death from cancer at the age of 52, shortly after broadcasting to 350 million people on the state funeral of Winston Churchill, was regretted by millions of viewers, and subsequently the annual Richard Dimbleby lectures were established in his memory.

	Panorama
		Dimbleby was impeccably courteous, but nonetheless extracted from the royal guest the sort of things the viewing public wanted to hear.
		Perhaps the most memorable of these was the April Fool hoax perpetrated by Richard Dimbleby when he delivered a straight-faced report on the state of the Swiss spaghetti harvest, delivered while walking between trees festooned with strings of spaghetti.
		Among the most notable of Richard Dimbleby's successors in the chair of Panorama have been his son David Dimbleby, Robin Day, who set a new standard in the hostile interviewing of reluctant political guests, Alastair Burnet, Charles Wheeler and Robert Kee.

		Dimbleby: You're not an old man. You haven't been in politics very long, and only a decade ago, you were talking about hobnail boots trampling on the rights of trade unionists - pernicious bills to control trade unionists.

		The new six-part series is expected to be aired in February* and Cressing Temple was chosen because of its significance in the mediaeval period, its social status, fantastic 800 year old buildings and its direct connections with the Knights Templar.
		Mr Dimbleby showed great interest in the site and we were even able to supply him with some straw and an ancient flail to allow him to use the threshing floors.

		The David Dimbleby known to the public is the 'hereditary broadcaster', the man who attends the nation's royal weddings and funerals, and general elections.
		Both Dimbleby and his brother are also enjoying leases of life of which their father, who died of cancer at 52, was deprived.
		There is a suspicion that Dimbleby has been added to the shortlist so that the Prime Minister can say he considered a broadcasting candidate carefully before choosing one of his political associates such as Baroness Jay or Gavyn Davies, the financier.

		Since then, Dimbleby has been a paragon of impartiality, to the extent that even friends and close colleagues have declared themselves entirely unsure which political party, if any, might win his vote.
		Such occasions stretch the machinery of live television to its limits, with many hours of airtime and feeds from cameras and reporters scattered across hundreds of geographically diverse constituencies, and Dimbleby's unflappable composure is a crucial asset - and a neat counterpoint to the boyish excitability of
