I personally do not watch the show actually. I'd prefer looking at their pictures coz most of them doesn't look as good as in the pictures and some of them talk funny English accents, which I find it hard to understand.. But anyway, I seldom watch tv afterall.

How is Miss World originated?

Eric Morley, The Founder
Eric Morley was loved and revered by a great many people, from the most famous to the most humble. He touched all their lives and made a difference to so many. Here are just some of the landmarks in his remarkable life. Although Eric Morley started at Mecca in 1946 as a £15-a-week PR man, he finished as Chairman!

He turned Mecca from a small catering and dance company into the country's top entertainment and catering company with 15,000 employees covering dancing, catering, bingo, gaming, ice-skating, bowling alleys, discos and the main City restaurants. It also provided the catering and entertainment facilities for the big London football teams - Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

In 1948 Eric originated the BBC 'Come Dancing' series and in the following years started a series of competitions to encourage better dress sense amongst those frequenting dance halls. The success of Come Dancing can be measured in that it became the longest running television series in history.

In 1951 Eric began the Miss World competition. The BBC televised Miss World from 1959 to 1979 and Thames Television carried it from 1980 to 1988. At its peak, the show drew an audience of 27.5 million in Britain alone. This was comparable to a royal wedding!

An assiduous worker for charity, Eric with his wife Julia raised more than £100 million over the years for various causes. He completed the London Marathon when he was 63, despite a damaged hamstring.

He was also a long-time supporter of the Variety Club of Great Britain, as a Barker in 1961 and Chief Barker in 1973, when he raised over £2 million. He then became President of Variety Clubs International in 1978 and was also President of the Outward Bound Trust.
