At a Glance
'Grandstand' was a British television sport programme, and one of the BBC's longest running sports shows, alongside BBC Sports Personality of the Year. It was created by Paul Fox and Bryan Cowgill and launched on 11 October 1958. Its first presenter was Peter Dimmock.There were only four main presenters of the programme during its long history: David Coleman (who took over almost immediately from Dimmock), Frank Bough, Des Lynam, and Steve Rider. Changes in the structure of the programme during its last few years, however, meant it did not have a regular main presenter during this time.Among the more occasional hosts were Alan Weeks, David Icke, Clare Balding, Hazel Irvine, Bob Wilson, David Vine, Dougie Donnelly, Harry Carpenter, John Inverdale, Tony Gubba, Helen Rollason, Ray Stubbs and Sue Barker.The last editions of Grandstand were broadcast over the weekend of 27-28 January 2007.
