She began dancing lessons at the age of three, and later performed in musicals at the Coliseum Theatre in London.[7][8] BBC careerOn reading a newspaper advertisement in June 1947 for a continuity announcer for BBC Television, Peters' mother encouraged her to apply because she didn't like Peters being on the stage.[7] Peters completed the audition tasks, which included testing in foreign languages and pronunciation, and screen tests in reading and interviewing, and was chosen from hundreds of applicants.[1] She became one of a team of three continuity announcers with Mary Malcolm and McDonald Hobley.[5] Peters first appeared on screen the same month, June 1947.[1] Television broadcasts then only occurred in the evening, and the announcers had to broadcast live, without an autocue and without rehearsals.[7] On 2 June 1953, Peters was chosen to introduce the live television broadcast of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, an event which she considered the highlight of her career.[4] She later stated that she thought she was chosen because she was the same age as the Queen (28) and because she had an excellent memory – the script was provided to her only the night before the event.[7] On the day, Peters provided linking material from 10 a.m. to 11.30 p.m. to an estimated audience of 20 million viewers in Britain and 227 million globally.[1] She later became involved in teaching the Queen the broadcasting skills necessary for her Royal Christmas Message broadcasts, by recording a training film for the monarch.[3][5] The film demonstrated various techniques such as reading a script and using an autocue, the latter of which the Queen chose for her broadcasts.[7] Peters was chosen in 1954 to host Come Dancing (the predecessor of Strictly Come Dancing), In 1956, she presented the children's programme For Deaf Children,[1] and she was a compere for Television Dancing Club, which featured the bandleader Victor Silvester.[6] In December 1957, the BBC replaced the evening women announcers with the team of Kenneth Kendall, Richard Baker and Robert Dougall. Peters left the broadcaster the following year.[1] She became a freelance broadcaster, and covered such events as Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot and Come Dancing, and made less frequent appearances on screen. She fronted Jim's Inn, an advertisement magazine for ITV.[7] Later life and careerPeters opened a children's clothing shop in Wimbledon, London, in 1963, and a women's clothes shop in 1977.[6][7] She returned to television work on a number of occasions, such as the Sykes 1977 Christmas special, and for special shows such as the BBC Television Service's 50th and 75th birthday specials. In the early 1980s she appeared on the magazine programme Afternoon Plus for Thames Television where she appeared with her former colleagues McDonald Hobley and Mary Malcolm. Later in the same decade she joined Robert (Bob) Dougall, Brian Johnston and other hosts in presenting the Channel 4 magazine programme for the over sixties, Years Ahead.[1] In 2013 she introduced the digitally restored film recording of the Queen's Coronation when it was repeated on BBC Parliament.[9] Personal lifeIn 1950, she married Kenneth Milne-Buckley, who had been her first studio director at the BBC.[7] They had one daughter.[1] Peters died on 26 July 2016, aged 90.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/07/29/sylvia-peters-bbc-television-presenter--obituary/|title=Sylvia Peters, BBC television presenter – obituary|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=29 July 2016|access-date=30 July 2016}} 2. ^BFI database – PETERS, Sylvia 3. ^1 Whirligig TV 4. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/royalfamilyvideo/10090365/Sylvia-Peters-introduces-TV-coverage-of-Queens-coronation-in-1953.html|title=Sylvia Peters introduces TV coverage of Queen's coronation in 1953|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=31 May 2013|accessdate=27 July 2016}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2013/23/coronation.html|title=Queen's Coronation announcer Sylvia Peters dies|publisher=BBC News|date=29 July 2016|accessdate=30 July 2016}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/register/sylvia-peters-26c06tvwn|title=Sylvia Peters|work=The Times|location=London|date=27 July 2016|accessdate=27 July 2016}} {{subscription required}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite news|last=Bates|first=Stephen|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jul/29/sylvia-peters-obituary|title=Sylvia Peters obituary|work=The Guardian|date=29 July 2016|accessdate=29 July 2016}} 8. ^The Television Annual for 1952, ed. by Kenneth Baily, Odhams Press, p. 57. 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2013/23/coronation.html|title=The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II|work=BBC Media Centre|date=May 2013|accessdate=30 July 2016}} External links
