Frank Bough: BBC TV presenter dies aged 87 – The Independent
Former Grandstand host helped launched Breakfast Time show in 1983
The former TV presenter Frank Bough has died at the age of 87.
Bough became one of the most well-known faces on the BBC in the 1980s after fronting the Grandstand sports show on Saturdays.
In 1983 he gained an even wider audience when he launched the first national breakfast television programme, Breakfast Time.
He quit the show in 1987 to present the Holiday programme but was sacked by the corporation a year later after the News of the World reported he had attended sex and drug parties.
