BBC Radio Solent - Bruce Parker's Magical History Tour, Olympic connections

Bruce Parker traces the south’s Olympic connections.

In a short series for BBC Radio Solent, Bruce Parker taps into the south's rich history.

With the help of experts from across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight and using BBC South’s archive.

This week the programme returns with an examination of the south’s Olympic connections.

Bruce visits Timsbury Manor near to Romsey and discovers the house was a training centre for the 1964 games.

In 1908, an event took place for the first and only time in the history of the games.  Peter Burt, historian at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Poole explains the club’s role in the motorboating event.

Bruce chats with Olympians Lucinda Green and Robin Aisher about their respective experiences. And trainer Mike Smith reveals what it takes to become an Olympic champion.

For those on the roads across the south of England, there is travel news as it happens. 

BBC Radio Solent offers a choice of listening on a Sunday evening, with Bruce on 96.1 and 103.8FM, on 999 and 1359 AM and on the BBC iPlayer. The Paul Miller Soul Show is on digital radio and the BBC iPlayer.
