Extra death match this week, from September 23rd 1978 - who is the best dressed man in this TV TIMES competition? Unfortunately the competition closed almost 40 years ago, but don't worry if you missed the deadline, entries are now accepted via the death match vote.

Lewis Collins despite those wide cuff trousers wins it for me. Ian Ogilvy is also pretty good, but he needs to button the shirt up.

Ted looks like a pimp watching over his bitche$ Over his bin$ more like. Admittedly he does like he is straight out of a guest appearance on 'Kojak' or 'The Streets of San Francisco'.

Reminds me of a white Huggy Bear from Starsky & Hutch.

Vote Ted? I never thought I'd see the day where Ted Rogers is involved in a canvassing campaign here on the forum.

So many well dressed men, so little time. Gosh that TV Times spread is a real time capsule. Nice find jno. They have a 'strict' criteria for judging according to the article. So they are judged on how well they dress for their age, how well they dress for their figure (it's funny, it just is) and how well they dress for their tv job. I was always a Bodie fan. Lewis Collins was but can even the delectable Mr Collins look good in a white jacket ? Probably the most 'in fashion' dressed man for the late 1970s. I have never seen 'The Saint' but Ian Ogilvy looks very 70s and quite fine looking at the same time. Ted Rogers and Shaw Taylor I don't know who they are but Derek Nimmo seemed to visit Australia a lot as I recall him being on chat shows a lot. He always looked like he was about to be a groomsman at a wedding. Richard O'Sullivan is wearing a jumper... end of story, he loses. You can't be a well dressed man in a jumper.

Admittedly not as debonair as Ted Rogers, but not far off. VOTE TED ps: I thinking he's rocking the same suit Yaphet Koto wore in Live And Let Die..

This song just has to be played on this thread. I don't think ZZ Top had the 1978 candidates for best dressed man in mind when they sung it but still...

Sorry, this is a thread too far in 'Death Match'. Trying to decide the best dressed man is like trying to decipher the best main course from that year... or the best supermarket.
Not even going to 'sit on the fence'.

Ted's 321 signal - everytime this happened I was completely overwhelmed with emotion and inspired to try it myself as part of a daily exercise regime.

This is how Ted limbered up before the show. I liked him. A real leg end.

It must have been taken during a Tea Towel Wednesday.. That's something we do here at Stanton Hall on the last Wednesday of every quarterly cycle of the waxing moon. We dress up as T E Lawrence and ride around the grounds attempting to start an Arab uprising... I think shortly after that Ted was dispatched behind enemy lines, just north of Wolverhampton.

I had no idea that Ted Rogers was such a petrol head. Ted Rogers has speeding endorsements, who'd have thought it?! That Lawrence of Belgravia gag would probably be banned today. I see Elton John is popular! No wait a minute, that's just in foreign chipwrappers.

I reckon Ted has had the Grecian 2000 out ... most likely tucking it away (all quiet like) INSIDE of Dusty Bin. In older pics he most certainly has grey bits on the side, then suddenly it magically disappear in later pictures. Only the bin knows his secret till now. Some evidence: Notice where Dusty Bin is looking in rightmost picture.

Had no idea he ended up potless. Interesting to read about Ted's fall from grace. Ted was declared bankrupt in 1992. His production company went belly up with debts of £80K. His luxury home in Chalfont, Bucks was repossessed and he had to move to a modest drum in Surrey. In the early 80s Ted earned £130K p.a. from '3-2-1' alone. Mind you, I think he earned that having to present a load of old drivel like '3-2-1'. Ted was only 65 when he died in 2001.

I may be wrong here.... But is the lady with her leg out Caroline Munro?? It looks like her. I think I'm right? If so I want an extra bonus point for the Boat Race quiz!

Oh it just HAS to be Ted Rogers. What a man !! I bet he wore a huge gold Bulova, a gold medallion, had a hairy chest, and, ofcourse, NO best-dressed man of 1978 would dream of going out without wearing DENIM ! DENIM !.......For the man who doesn't have to try too hard !
Always used to watch 3-2-1, classic stuff. I had an aunt who loved Ted, she was a about 80, and a bit bonkers, and used to call him Rod Todger !!!
