In autumn 2020, Boulting was marooned by the pandemic, forced to commentate on cycling from his home. Alerted by a friend, he bought a length of Pathe film of an unknown Tour from a London auction house.

And in honouring him he's told us more about bike racing, the Tour and about Europe in the years between the wars than we'd ever have learned from a book about a star * Michael Hutchinson, racing cyclist and writer * one of the most intelligent sporting books i have come across…the writing is compulsive, eloquently conveying the twists and turns of the story as it unfolds…excellent”— thewashingmachinepost It’s no exaggeration to say that what began as a journey to satisfy a certain curiosity, during that long, sad first Covid winter rapidly became an overwhelming obsession; one which spun off in any number of different directions, all of which seemed to me to be uniquely fascinating.

Ron Howard farewells his son, wife and granddaughter in Surfers Paradise as he prepare to start filming new movie The film was so fragile that it couldn't be watched until Ned could find someone who could copy it without destroying the old nitrate film. Once he obtained a copy he was able to tell that the film was of the fourth stage of the 1923 Tour de France. But this was an obscure time of the Tour and there was little documentation with which to compare the film. There’s the Seznec affaire, in which someone gets murdered and that is somehow linked to the very day of the Pathé newsreel by virtue of some piece of paperwork or other being signed by someone on that day.Olivia Culpo shows off her NFL star fiancé Christian McCaffrey's painful bruises and scratches from the 49ers' Thanksgiving win over the Seahawks From luxury skincare to must-have make-up collections - get Christmas all wrapped up with dream gifts they'll love Sharon Osbourne, 71, admits she 'could do with putting on a few pounds but her body isn't listening' after dropping 42lbs with weight loss drug
Doctor Who 60th Anniversary: Viewers left 'sobbing' after Wilf's fate is revealed after actor Bernard Cribbins died aged 93 After several "completely directionless" years, [3] his television career began in 1997 when he joined Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday alongside Jeff Stelling. He joined ITV Sports in 2001, and has covered a range of football events including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and the FA Cup. He became a reporter for ITV's Tour de France coverage in 2003 and has reported at every Tour since, as well as on other cycling events including the Tour of Britain and the Vuelta a España. He also covered the London 2012 Summer Paralympics for Channel 4. [2] He was awarded the Royal Television Society's Sports News Reporter of the Year Award in 2006. [5] Boulting branched out into commentating in 2015, providing commentary for ITV4's coverage of the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire [6] and the Vuelta a España alongside David Millar. [7] Boulting and Millar commentated for ITV4 on the 2016 Tour de France and subsequent ones. [8] Beekman is the lone rider who crosses a bridge (which had its own history, covered by Boulting, of course) on the film and he won stages but the overall winner was Henri Pélissier. The stories of Beekman, Pelissier and others in the race were really interesting as were the writings about the Tour itself. Had the book concentrated on the riders, the pieces in the film and the riders, it would have been a much better read.Stuart Andrew, Conservative MP for Pudsey, minister for sport, gambling and civil society, and minister for equalities, 52; Harriet Crabtree, director, Inter Faith Network for the UK, 65; Dominic Cummings, political strategist, chief adviser to Boris Johnson (2019-20), 52; Dr Rhys Davies, chairman, Llangollen Musical Eisteddfod (2015-22), 68; Blythe Duff, actress, Taggart (1990-2010), 61; Michael Feast, actor, Velvet Goldmine (1998), 77; The Rt Rev Clive Gregory, area bishop of Wolverhampton (2007-April 2023), 62; Carole Hersee, costume designer, featured in the BBC’s Test Card F (1967-98), 65; Brent Hoberman, entrepreneur, co-founder of Lastminute.com (1998) and Made.com (2010), 55; Yvonne Kenny, opera singer, 73; Terry Kilburn, actor, Goodbye, Mr Chips (1939), 97; Eilish McColgan, middle and long-distance runner, gold medallist, Commonwealth Games 10,000m (2022), 33; Alessandro Michele, fashion designer, creative director at Gucci (2015-22), 51; Steve Morgan, founder (1974) and chairman (2009-19), Redrow, and chairman, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC (2007-15), 71; Lord (Paul) Murphy of Torfaen, Labour MP (1987-2015), secretary of state for Northern Ireland (2002-05) and Wales (1999-2002, 2008-09), 75; Lord Naseby (Michael Morris), Conservative MP (1974-97), chairman of Ways and Means and deputy speaker (1992-97), 87; Donald Sassoon, emeritus professor of comparative European history at Queen Mary University of London, The Anxious Triumph: A Global History of Capitalism (1860-1914) (2019), 77; Rachel Saxby, Conservative MP for North Devon, 53; Dougray Scott, actor, Mission: Impossible II (2000), Snatch (2017), 58; Gerald Seymour, thriller writer, Harry’s Game (1975), The Glory Boys (1976), In at the Kill (2023), 82; Ben Stein, economist, actor and speechwriter for US presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, 79; John Taylor, inventor who developed thermostats for use in electric kettles, 87; Bruno Tonioli, choreographer, judge, Strictly Come Dancing (2004-20), 68; Sir Peter Wright, director laureate, Birmingham Royal Ballet, 97.
