Trevor the Weather

[The Albion Roar]

Apologies if fixtures but this is probably one to be filed under 'blimey, I thought they were dead already', but another TV presenter from yesteryear has died.

Trevor Baker, who did the weather forecast on Day By Day, died a couple if daya ago at the age of 94.

Maybe fixtures but also Brian Rix master of comedy farce but both had a good innings. Brian Rix was 92 I think and Trevor Baker 94.

Ah I remember him well. Friendly face of the Southern weather. Do you remember that he once got a sort of spin-off song and dance show? It was so awful that it quickly got panned.

I thought a second series was commissioned but because Southern lost the franchise to TVS that was why it didn't happen

RIP Trevor . Do people remember the old guy who used to replace Trevor on his days off and holidays ? Cyril Ockenden who made a whistling noise when he spoke.

I remember being very excited seeing Ron Lobeck on Eastbourne seafront many years ago. Also saw Trevor Baker on a raft in the Lewes race.

Southern lost their franchise? Marvellous scenes.

Will there be a repeat?

I met the great Trevor the Weather at an East Preston Fire Station open day when I was very young. Assumed he had died years ago until I saw this story,

Also, my granddad appeared on Out of Town with the late great Jack Hargreaves.

All this leads to the question, how is Fred Dinenage still alive and broadcasting?

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

is Carl Tiler still knocking about?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I hope the vicars trousers fall down at Brian Rix's funeral

I don't know why but your comment on Cyril Ockenden has reduced me to tears of laughter. Silly I know, but it just tickled my funny bone.

He has friends in the underworld! !!

Once when watching TVS weather in Burgess Hill, Trevor told us how it was fine and dry in the south east.
It was pouring down so for some ridiculous reason I rang him up.
Got through to the studio in Maidstone and got to speak to him.
He was genuine and seemingly interested in me explaining how it might be fine in Kent is wasn't in West Sussex.

Nice Guy RIP

But why oh why would I bother ?

I remember him well, but his attitude to snow annoyed me as a schoolboy who loved the cold white stuff (and still does)!

He always used to pacify grow-ups and motorists by saying 'Don't worry, the snow won't make it this far south' or 'Fortunately, the snow will rapidly turn to rain', or some such.

I'd be thinking ' But I WANT it to snow, Trevor.'

Still, RIP.

I met Ron Lobeck once. He was eating scampi and chips.
