Tom Crowe (5 July 1922, County Clare, Ireland – 6 December 2010[1]) was an announcer on BBC Radio 3.
Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he read French and German Literature, he first joined the BBC's Third Programme in 1952, but left in 1960. After writing the biography of Arabist Owen Tweedy he returned to the Corporation in the late 1960s. During the 1970s he became one of the most familiar voices on Radio 3, and "an accident-prone but haughtily unflappable persona"[1] evolved.
Crowe retired from the BBC in 1982.
