Simon Lazenby is a British television presenter renowned for his role as the lead presenter of Formula 1 coverage on Sky Sports. He graduated from Durham University with a degree in Natural Sciences, where he also played as a scrum-half for the university's rugby team and captained his college team, St. Hild and St. Bede. Lazenby began his career at Sky Sports in 2002, initially focusing on live Rugby Union coverage. In 2012, he transitioned to Formula 1, becoming the anchor for Sky Sports F1 since the channel's inception. Throughout his tenure, he has presented live coverage of over 160 Grands Prix, working alongside former drivers and commentators such as Johnny Herbert, Martin Brundle, Damon Hill, and Jenson Button. Known for his calm demeanor and dry sense of humor, Lazenby has become a familiar face to Formula 1 fans, providing insightful commentary and interviews from the paddock. He resides in Wimbledon, South West London, with his wife and two children. Outside of his broadcasting career, Lazenby enjoys playing golf and the piano.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
