	John Snagge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Derrick Mordaunt Snagge OBE (8 May 1904-25 March 1996) was a well-known British newsreader and commentator, with a long career on BBC Radio.
		In 1927, the BBC obtained the rights to cover major sporting events under its Royal Charter, and Snagge broadcast his first sports commentary (of a Hull City versus Stoke City football match) in January of that year.
		Snagge retired in 1965, but his annual Boat Race commentaries continued until 1980.

		John Snagge moved with ease from radio administration to performing, as an announcer, newsreader and sports commentator, and his rich, fruity vocal tone was one of the most distinctive in the medium.
		As an announcer, he brought the news of the invasion of North Africa, the D-Day Landings and VE Day, and he was senior commentator at the Coronation in 1953.
		In spite of his sonorous voice and old-school image, Snagge retained a healthy sense of self-parody, witnessed by his occasional appearances on 'The Goon Show' and, most startling of all, a contribution to a Sex Pistols B-side.

		Filmed in 1979 by Julien Temple in a wartime documentary style (complete with a fantastic voiceover by BBC veteran John Snagge), the 30-minute movie mixes footage of the U.K. Subs performing at the Lyceum with scripted tableaus of punk life.
		As a bonus, the DVD closes with a recent interview with Subs guitarist Nicky Garratt, who is absolutely bored to tears describing the band’s history, although he’s obviously proud of what the group accomplished.
		The only drag about this rave-up is a “just-okay” 5.1 mix that subtly puts the crowd and stage ambience in the rear speakers and doesn’t quite match the performances with a sound that jumps out of the jukebox.
