HAPPY BIRTHDAY

-

SANDI TOKSvIG, 60, right. The host of The Great British Bake Off and quiz show QI was born in Denmark, but grew up mostly in the U.S. After being bullied for her accent at boarding school, she cultivated a ‘posh’ British voice based on that of Celia Johnson in Brief Encounter. PETER DUNCAN, 64. The actor and Tv presenter did two stints hosting Blue Peter between 1980 and 1986. He was dubbed ‘the man who put the “blue” in Blue Peter’ after it emerged that he had starred in a film some described as pornograph­ic — but which he insisted was ‘a really rather good psychologi­cal thriller’. He was also Britain’s Chief Scout for five years.
