Outside Broadcaster: An Autobiography

Product Information

Eric Bell Robson OBE DL (born 31 December 1946) is a television broadcaster, author and documentary film maker who has lived for most of his life in Cumbria, where he has a sheep farm. Eric’s successor as president is current Cumbria Tourism chairman Jim Walker, who has a breadth of senior management experience in a range of public and private sector roles, such as the chief executive of the Lake District Estates Group and head of cultural and tourism services at South Lakeland District Council. His London publishers, Faber, were grudging about his work, and didn’t produce a Collected Poems until well after his death, when readers lobbied for it. Coincidentally she also has an adopted chicken named after his successor – Kathy Cluckson – of which the same cannot be said.

Nevertheless, Eric is only retiring from one job and will continue broadcasting and writing as well as full-filling his roles as chairman of Cumbria Tourism and chairman of the Wainwright Society, a position he has held since its inception. I look forward to this new role immensely and will do everything I can to continue to support our members as we navigate the many new challenges our industry now faces. Large Operator – Rachel Bell from Lake District Estates, which operates in five out of the six Cumbrian districts across a wide range of tourism products. The slightly under two pages on the rougher side of Glasgow is sketched so faintly as to be barely visible. It is quite possible that some the more anecdotal aspects of the book are true, but if that is the case, it would have been far better if some the details had been left unrecorded.I had a CML 109 with a Saito 125a and it flew very well, it would not go vertical but loops were better with diving to get the speed up. Robson also has the disconcerting habit of assuming his readers know of which he speaks - sentences will appear with little explanation or reason ". Yet in spite of his high academic distinction he retained his old charm and modesty; and above all he kept his affection for his old school. Being proposed for president by the board and following in Eric Robson’s highly capable and high-profile footsteps is an amazing and completely unexpected honour for me.

But for more than 35 years, he’s been one of the instantly recognisable voices of British broadcasting. A promotion to reporter soon followed and after 10 years on the station he started working for the BBC as a freelancer where he has been ever since.I was in Millom on Monday, to record a conversation with Eric Robson (of Gardeners’ Question Time fame) about Cumbrian poet Norman Nicholson. I absolutely have no doubt that the natural resilience of the tourism and hospitality economy in places like the Lake District and the whole of Cumbria will see the industry through. Close Icon An icon used to represent where to interact to collapse or dismiss a component Comment An icon of a speech bubble. He is best known as the presenter of Radio 4's Gardener's Question Time, where he sees his job as keeping the panellists from 'straying into horticultural Latin'.

The sheer number of people being encouraged by media studies courses to go into a shrinking industry.Robson told the PA news agency that the honour would draw attention to the plight of domestic tourism amid the coronavirus pandemic. In 1939 he sought no easy job; he served with the West African Regiment, reached the rank of Major, and after arduous campaigns - Abyssinia, and later in Burma - he became the historian of his regiment. Eric is much more than that, a vastly experienced commentator and broadcaster, ranging from TV Documentaries to Royal occasions but more than that, a brilliant storyteller.
