The Sue Barker story you won’t hear on the BBC tribute
So it’s farewell to Sue Barker – the beloved Wimbledon presenter is retiring after 30 years.
The BBC broadcast a lovely tribute after Sunday’s final, but there was no mention of the time comedian Frank Skinner joined Sue on a Question of Sport, which she hosted.
It was the picture round, and an image appeared of a sportsperson looking out to sea from the edge of a cliff.
Frank turned to Barker, who famously dated pop oddball Cliff Richard, and asked deadpan, “Sue, have you ever sat on a Cliff face?”
She couldn’t contain her laughter, but sadly it didn’t make the edit.
