[TV] Fred Dinenage

[Gwylan]

38 years of presenting the local news

I'm sure he's been around longer than that. Wasn't he on Southern Soccer in the 60s?

 

[MrSnuggles]

He looked about 70, 40 years ago! I believe he was the official biographer for the Kray twins and lately he's been doing 'Britains most evil killers', and The world's most evil killers'. Fred is something of an institution. We've all grown up with him! Happy retirement Fred!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

My late Auntie worked with him on the newspapers and he loves the lay-dies by all accounts.......good on him I say!


Still remember watching him and Jack Hargreaves on How....what a great programme that was.


Happy ReFredment Tire...

Is that your opening Gambit?

Good work Sir - I used to enjoy watching that as a kid.

Take your word for it as that was before my time but the story about him retiring mentioned the length of time presenting local news.

There is a bit of it floating around Youtube.

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Fred is so old that he was in the year above God at school. (A suitably old gag too.)

 

[Lenny Rider]

Retiring, how dare he.

Top bloke, interviewed him a couple of times, he actually started at the Evening Argus back in the 1960’s and spoke about old John Vinicombe with great affection.

 

[Is it PotG?]

The great man's last show tonight, won't be a dry eye in the house.

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Going to miss Fred. A great presenter and a lovely person.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

But can he play left back?


Or even better, as 20 goal a season forward?

Scored an own goal when on trial as a defender on trial at Villa, so probably not what we need at the moment

 

[Live by the sea]

Fred is a legend

 

[A mex eyecan]

he must surely go down as one of the most popular TV faces of all time ..

comes across as warm, caring, funny etc. I suppose his only weakness is being Pompey

 

[Giraffe]

Met him once. As warm in the flesh as he is on the telly.

 

[Stat Brother]

Met him once. As warm in the flesh as he is on the telly.

So it's not 'that' kind of thread, what a relief.
