Subject: BBC presenter Phil Drabble dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/31/07 at 1:25 am
The long-serving presenter of BBC TV's One Man And His Dog, Phil Drabble, has died at the age of 93.
Mr Drabble, who hosted the BBC Two show from 1976 to 1993, died on Sunday at his home in Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire, the corporation said.
The presenter, a widower who received an OBE in 1993, was a naturalist and author of several books on wildlife.
Mr Drabble was the original presenter of the programme, which attracted eight million viewers in its heyday.

I have only heard of Phil Drabble. I never heard any of his broadcasts. Wikipedia does cite this quote from the late Drabble:
(during a particularly slow sheep drive) "Oh noo, they're startin' ter graze. That'll be points off fer sure!"
But I'm sure that is not what he wanted to be remembered for!
