Edwin Charles Ernest Lowe MBE[1] (1 November 1920 – 1 May 2011)[2] was an English snooker commentator for the BBC and ITV.

Born in Lambourn, Berkshire, Lowe was general manager of London's Leicester Square Hall, the home of professional billiards and snooker.

He got his break one day when the BBC's regular commentator, Raymond Glendenning, was suffering from laryngitis.

Lowe uttered the occasional on-air gaffe, one of his most famous quotes being, "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green.

Lowe died, aged 90, in Bexhill-on-Sea, on the morning of the first session of the 2011 World Snooker Championship final.
