&#039;&#039;&#039;Edward George Rodgers&#039;&#039;&#039; (20 July 1935 – 2 May 2001) was an English comedian and light entertainment host who started his career as a [[Redcoats (Butlins)|Redcoat]] entertainer.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;1939 England and Wales Register&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Deaths 2001 - England and Wales&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was best known for hosting the [[ITV Yorkshire|Yorkshire Television]] game show &#039;&#039;[[3-2-1]]&#039;&#039; from 1978 to 1988.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and career==&lt;br /&gt;
Rogers was born in [[Kennington]], South London, the son of Edward Rodgers, a soap machine operator, and Lily May Rodgers née Cobb, an office cleaner.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2001/may/04/guardianobituaries.obituaries|title=Obituary: Ted Rogers|first=Dennis|last=Barker|date=4 May 2001|website=Theguardian.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He went to school in [[Lambeth]]. His idol as a youngster was [[Danny Kaye]], and Rogers won a holiday camp talent contest impersonating Kaye as a youngster,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; but he would later put all showbusiness offers on hold whilst he did his [[national service]] in the [[Royal Air Force]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 1960s, Rogers appeared as a stand up comedian on the radio programme &#039;&#039;[[Billy Cotton Band Show]]&#039;&#039;, alongside singers such as [[Tom Jones (singer)|Tom Jones]], [[Cliff Richard]] and [[Alma Cogan]] and comedians [[Terry Scott]] and [[Hugh Lloyd]]. He went on to host &#039;&#039;[[Sunday Night at the London Palladium]]&#039;&#039; in 1974.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Rogers also appeared on the comedy panel game &#039;&#039;[[Jokers Wild (TV series)|Jokers Wild]]&#039;&#039;. He was asked by [[Perry Como]] to join him on his tour of Britain in 1975 as a comedian after a [[Royal Variety Performance]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Stage: P28, Thursday 30 January 1975,  &amp;quot;Light Entertainment: By Special Request&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Stage: P24, Full page Advert Thursday 08 May 1975 &amp;quot; TED ROGERS Sincerely Thanks PERRY COMO&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bing Crosby]] later invited Rogers to join him on his concerts of 1976 and 1977, to form a double act and sing &amp;quot;[[Gone Fishin&#039; (song)|Gone Fishin&#039;]]&amp;quot; with Crosby as a tribute to [[Louis Armstrong]]. TV programme: &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Central Post&amp;quot; broadcast 18th November 1985, Wendy&#039;s Interview with TED ROGERS/321&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Whilst on tour in 1977, Rogers was asked to film a [[Television pilot|pilot]] for a new television game show for Yorkshire Television.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Central Post&amp;quot; broadcast 18th November 1985, Wendy&#039;s Interview with TED ROGERS/321&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Gameshow host==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;3-2-1&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Rogers became the presenter of [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]&#039;s variety gameshow [[3-2-1]] in 1978. It ran for just over ten years in a top-rating Saturday night slot. He earned £130,000 a year in the early 1980s from [[3-2-1]] alone&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Telegraph obituary - 3 May 2001&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and combined this with a career as a highly paid [[Public speaking|after-dinner speaker]], also making regular cabaret and public appearances.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Telegraph - 3 May 2001&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Stage - London - Obituary (10 May 2001).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 1986, he was featured on &#039;&#039;[[This Is Your Life (British TV series)|This Is Your Life]]&#039;&#039;. Rogers was surprised by host [[Eamonn Andrews]] in [[Covent Garden]], central London, with guests on the show including [[Jimmy Edwards]] and [[Sacha Distel]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[3-2-1]] was cancelled in December 1987,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Liverpool Echo - Thursday 17 December 1987&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Daily Mirror - 18 December 1987&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; when it was still attracting audiences of 12 million and in the Top 20 ratings. Initially, the plan was for the show to carry on with Christmas and one-off specials. There was an [[1988 Summer Olympics|Olympics]] special shown in September 1988, and a Christmas special that year, which was the final ever episode. In April 1996, Rogers told the &#039;&#039;[[Sunday Mirror]]&#039;&#039; that &amp;quot;The [[Oxbridge]] lot got control of TV and they didn&#039;t really want [the show]. It was too downmarket for them. We were still getting 12 million viewers when they took it off after 10 years. These days if a show gets nine million everyone does a lap of honour&amp;quot;.{{better source needed|date=November 2018}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Sunday Mirror&#039;&#039;, 7 April 1996.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===After &#039;&#039;3-2-1&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1989, Rogers appeared on the [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] game show &#039;&#039;[[You Bet!]]&#039;&#039; In the early 1990s, Rogers fell on hard times and was declared bankrupt in February 1992, having apparently invested his fortune in a failed business venture, Wyvern Rogers Television.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Stage - 16 August 1990&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His home at [[Little Chalfont]], Buckinghamshire, was repossessed, and Rogers&#039; production company collapsed with debts of £50,000.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He moved from Buckinghamshire to a more modest home in [[Haslemere]], Surrey.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rogers was a guest on &#039;&#039;[[Celebrity Squares]]&#039;&#039; in January 1993, and in April 1994 he appeared on &#039;&#039;[[Surprise Surprise (British TV series)|Surprise Surprise]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1997–98, Rogers appeared in the touring production of &#039;&#039;Danny and Me&#039;&#039;, a play about his hero, Danny Kaye, which often sold out. Towards the end of the decade, [[Challenge TV]] began repeating episodes of [[3-2-1]]. In 2000, Rogers was seen during the sponsor credits for the ITV quiz &#039;&#039;[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (UK game show)|Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]&#039;&#039; – sitting in a dressing room with [[3-2-1]] mascot Dusty Bin and bemoaning the new show&#039;s success.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1999 and 2000, Rogers made several commercials for fast food chain [[McDonald&#039;s]]. On 10 November 2000, Rogers appeared as a guest on &#039;&#039;[[TFI Friday]]&#039;&#039;. His final television appearance, which was screened at the end of January 2001, saw him playing the host of a downmarket quiz show in the Series 13 episode &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s Get Quizzical&#039;&#039; of the [[BBC]] children&#039;s sitcom &#039;&#039;[[ChuckleVision]]&#039;&#039;. Had he lived, he would have worked with his old friend [[Jackie Mason]] on a [[Vaudeville]]-type act in America which was due to start in October 2001.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Brown |first=David |date=2001-05-03 |title=3-2-1 host Ted Rogers dies |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2001/may/03/broadcasting.uknews |access-date=2023-11-24 |issn=0261-3077}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personal life and death==&lt;br /&gt;
Rogers was married twice. He married his childhood sweetheart Marge, in 1953, with whom he had two daughters. In 1979, he married Marion,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; with whom he had a daughter and a son.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 2 May 2001, Rogers died after emergency open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve at [[St Thomas&#039; Hospital]] in London, aged 65 .&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bbc_obit&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sir Frederick Ernest Gibberd&#039;&#039;&#039; [[CBE]] {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|RA}} (7 January 1908 – 9 January 1984) was an English architect, [[Urban planner|town planner]] and [[landscape design]]er. He is particularly known for [[Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral]], his work in [[Harlow]], Essex, and for the widely adopted [[BISF house]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Gibberd was born in [[Coventry]], the eldest of the five children of a local [[tailor]], and was educated at the city&#039;s [[King Henry VIII School, Coventry|King Henry VIII School]]. In 1925 he was articled to a firm of architects in [[Birmingham]] and studied architecture under [[William Bidlake]] at the [[Birmingham School of Art]], where his roommate was [[F. R. S. Yorke]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite encyclopedia|last1=Richards|first1=J. M.|last2=Cox|first2= Alan|encyclopedia=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|title=Gibberd, Sir Frederick Ernest (1908–1984)|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/31144|access-date=22 May 2008|edition=Online|year=2004|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford|doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/31144 |url-access=subscription}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A good friend of [[Geoffrey Jellicoe|Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe]], Gibberd&#039;s work was also influenced by [[Le Corbusier]], [[Mies van der Rohe]], and [[F. R. S. Yorke]]. He set up in practice in 1930, designing [[Pullman Court]], Streatham Hill, London (1934–36), a housing development which launched his career. With the success of this scheme, Gibberd became established as the &#039;flat&#039; architect (referring to blocks of [[apartment|flats]]) and went on to build several other schemes, including Park Court, [[Sydenham, London|Sydenham]] and Ellington Court, [[Southgate, London|Southgate]] (both 1936), continuing to practise until the outbreak of the [[Second World War]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Pullman Court, Streatham Hill - geograph.org.uk - 1770684.jpg|thumb|right|Pullman Court]]&lt;br /&gt;
Gibberd and Yorke collaborated on a number of publications, including the influential book &#039;&#039;The Modern Flat&#039;&#039;, which was published in 1937 and featured the then newly completed Pullman Court and Park Court, as well as many other European examples. Gibberd also designed the [[BISF house]], a prefabricated form of [[Council house|council housing]] sponsored by the [[British Iron and Steel Federation]] and widely adopted by [[Local government in England|local authorities]] in Britain in the [[postwar]] years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/wythenshawes-tin-town-citys-rarest-22749777|first=Damon|last=Wilkinson|title=Wythenshawe&#039;s Tin Town has the city&#039;s rarest homes - and a special story to tell|publisher=Manchester Evening News|date=23 January 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Harlow shopping centre June 1963 01.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Pedestrians walking through a wide area between shop fronts|Harlow shopping centre in June 1963]]&lt;br /&gt;
Gibberd was consultant architect-planner for the [[Harlow]] [[planned community|new town]] development and spent the rest of his life living in the town he had designed. His most notable works there include The Lawn, Britain&#039;s first modern-style point block, consisting of nine storeys arranged in a butterfly design on an area of open ground surrounded by oak trees. The Lawn features a [[trompe-l&#039;oeil]] pair of curved terraces facing a cricket green at Orchard Croft, which won a British Housing Award in 1951. The pioneering broken-silhouette flats in Morley Grove and much of the housing in Mark Hall neighbourhood is in its entirety a [[Conservation area (United Kingdom)|conservation area]]. The Harvey Centre lacks architectural distinction, but is notable as an early British example of a large purpose-built indoor [[shopping mall]]. His similarly pioneering Sports Centre has been demolished, as has the original town hall. The Water Gardens, although listed by [[English Heritage]], have been spoilt by the abutment of a car park and shopping centre. The garden of his own house at Marsh Lane ([[Gibberd Garden]]), on the outskirts of [[Harlow]], a mixture of formal and informal design, contains architectural elements salvaged from his reconstruction of [[Coutts Bank]] in London.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Wilson|first=Andrew|title=Influential Gardners: The Designers who Shaped 20th-Century Garden Style|publisher=Mitchell Beazley|year=2002|page=186|isbn=1-84533-179-6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A further achievement by Gibberd in planning Harlow is his incorporation of works by many leading architects of the postwar years, such as FRS Yorke, [[Powell &amp;amp; Moya]], Graham Dawbarn, [[John Poulson]], [[Maxwell Fry]] &amp;amp; [[Jane Drew]], Michael Neylan, [[William Crabtree]], [[Leonard Manasseh]], ECP Monson, [[Gerard Goalen]], Gerald Lacoste, [[Richard Sheppard (architect)|Richard Sheppard]] and [[H. T. Cadbury-Brown]]. A substantial collection of public sculptures is visible around the town, including works by [[Henry Moore]], [[Elisabeth Frink]], [[Auguste Rodin]] and [[Barbara Hepworth]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gibberd wrote &#039;&#039;Harlow: The story of a New Town&#039;&#039; in collaboration with Len White and Ben Hyde Harvey. In 1953 he published &#039;&#039;Town Design&#039;&#039; a book on the forms, processes, and history of the subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
