Fred Dinenage
Fred Dinenage is a television presenter who has hosted quiz shows, including Gambit (1975) and Tell the Truth (1989), as well as his own documentary series, such as Fred Dinenage Murder Casebook (2011). However, he is probably best known as one of the original presenters of the childrens' television series How (1966), and its two revivals, How 2 (1990) and How (2020). Born in Birmingham, most of his work for the ITV network has been for their southern region, with Southern Television and, later, TVS, being the producer of a number of his shows.
