Crowther was born in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire.[2] At the end of 1944, he moved to London with his parents, but was evacuated for a few months to the Isle of Bute until just after the Second World War ended.[3] Crowther's stage experience began in the mid-1940s. As a youngster he showed promise as a pianist, and in 1944 won a junior scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. He attended the respected Cone-Ripman Drama School in London, where he met his future wife, and whilst there competed (in 1947) at the Star Junior Ballroom Championships partnering Pamela Cochran, and then at 16, he appeared as a member of the Ovaltineys Concert Party of the Air on Radio Luxembourg. He also attended Nottingham High School and then Thames Valley Grammar School. In November 1951 his mother died of a massive stroke aged 56.[citation needed] His father, Leslie Frederick Crowther, was also an actor.[citation needed] Leslie senior was an alcoholic, and died in early January 1955 at the age of 67, ten days after being hit by a car.[citation needed] Leslie junior had a half-brother, Frank Ronald, from his father's first marriage.[citation needed] During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Crowther worked on the stage and on radio. His radio work included Ovaltine programmes, Variety Playhouse and Crowther's Crowd. Television career Crowther made a name for himself in television in the 1950s, with appearances as presenter of such programmes as the Billy Cotton Band Show and The Black and White Minstrel Show, and later the long-running children's institution Crackerjack (with Peter Glaze) for the BBC, from 1960 to 1968. In September 1967, Crowther was the presenter chosen to host the first series of the revamped children's favourites show, Junior Choice, on the newly opened Radio One station. The next year, 1968 , he recorded the LP ' Songs for Swinging Children ' , released on Pye's blue Label. From 1964 to 1967, Crowther presented Meet the Kids, an annual trip to a children's hospital ward that was screened by the BBC on Christmas Morning. He would walk around the ward meeting the patients, and the show would feature a surprise celebrity, and a present hidden under each bed. Typical locations were Great Ormond Street or Hackney Hospitals. In 1969, Crowther switched to ITV, and A Merry Morning was screened annually, following the same format, usually from the Seacroft Hospital in Leeds.[4] From the 1970s, Crowther was the face of Stork SB Margarine, for which he appeared in a number of television commercials. In 1971, he made The Leslie Crowther Show, a comedy sketch show, with three older comics, Arthur English, Chic Murray and Albert Modley ("Eee it's grand to be daft!") as the internal "rep" company. In 1972 and 1973, he appeared in a television sitcom called My Good Woman, alongside Richard Wilson, Sylvia Syms and Keith Barron. He also narrated two storytelling LPs for children, Tallulah Supercat and Tallulah and the Cat-Burglars. Crowther also appeared as Chesney Allen with Bernie Winters as Allen's partner Bud Flanagan in performances on television and on stage. Mid-1977 Crowther made an effort to break into radio with the pilot of a comedy show, ''It's Leslie, by Crowther'', recorded in the Regent Sound Stage (now the Vue Cinema in Lower Regent Street) and produced by John Browell. This however did not come to anything and he returned to TV. Game shows Crowther was one of the many hosts of the ITV panel/game show Whose Baby? which he presented in the mid-1980s. He also presented the fifth series of Southern Television's children's game show Runaround in 1977, standing in for Mike Reid. He was also host of the first British version of the game show The Price is Right, from 1984 to 1988, during which time his "Come on down!" catchphrase became familiar. In 1994, Crowther said that when The Price is Right was axed in May 1988, the producers never bothered to contact him directly. Instead, he learned the news from the press who called at his house and asked him how he felt. In February 1990, he was chosen to be host of the TV show Stars in Their Eyes. The first episode was transmitted on 21 July 1990. Crowther hosted the first three series, and a Christmas special in 1991. At the time of his car crash in October 1992 he was booked to record an Elvis Presley special, hosted by Russ Abbot, and a fourth series, eventually hosted by Matthew Kelly. 1992 car crash Crowther's show business career came to a sudden end on the afternoon of 3 October 1992 on the M5 near Cheltenham, when he sustained serious head injuries in a car crash which nearly killed him. The precise cause is unknown. It was speculated that he fell asleep at the wheel and, as a result, his Rolls-Royce car skidded into the central reservation barrier and overturned several times. In the months before the crash, Crowther was extremely busy with Lord's Taverners events and functions and on the previous day, 2 October, had been to a dinner in Swansea. That night he stayed at a hotel in Birmingham, and then opened some Allied Carpets stores in Birmingham on the morning of 3 October. Crowther was returning home when the crash occurred.[5] The car ended up on its roof on the hard shoulder of the motorway, and was a write-off. At first Crowther did not appear to be seriously injured, apart from being shaken up and sustaining a cracked bone in his neck. He was able to tell the police his personal details, including his home telephone number and what tablets he was taking for his hear.
