David was a perfectionist and wanted the very best for the viewers, which is understandable from a man who was the best in the business at what he did. David Coleman had no peers as a commentator or as the anchor man on Grandstand. Thanks for all those great memories from the early 1960s onwards, David.
I'm afraid not, it's Jonathan Martin, then a Sports producer. He became controller of BBC Sport. Jonathan Powell was a drama producer then Head of Drama Series, then controller of BBC1.
David Coleman was a professional and generally amiable enough outside the studio, but could be prickly and bad tempered to other BBC staff if he sensed they weren't doing their jobs properly or he was having a bad day.
I agree Elwyn he was the best and always wanted the very best for himself and for the viewing public. Like other great broacasters like Sir Alastair Burnet he like David wanted to very best for the viewing public and various others like them. Also David and Sir Aliastair are 100 times better then the pudding we have on tv today. Like Fiona Bruce Jake Humphreys Matt Baker and Ferne Cotton
Coleman, like 99% of his generation, had seen military service and military discipline. He was used to giving and taking orders barked out briskly. So this way of talking to people lower down the line was quite normal, if rather shocking to our more sensitive ears.

The best commentator ever in my opinion he was so knowledgeable he didn't have no messing with anyone

In fact it was not a cameraman who felt the wrath of Coleman but Jonathan Martin later to become BBC TV Sports supremo
The Jonathan being berated in this clip is Jonathan Powell... who went on to be controller of BBC1....
