An obituary may be found in "The Daily Telegraph" here.

"....In June (1946) Edgar joined the BBC’s television service, and was studio manager on shows ranging from Muffin the Mule to productions of Shakespeare from Stratford. He worked on the 1948 London Olympics as a production manager and — largely by accident — as a commentator.....

Barrie Edgar was a BBC loyalist who refused offers to join ITV in the 1950s and retired from the corporation at the then compulsory age of 60 in 1979."
