The 30 September 1996 episode of Bruce's Price Is Right, the Bruce Forsyth version of The Price is Right, was dedicated to Crowther at the request of Forsyth himself, according to the ITV continuity announcement. Forsyth told the Daily Mirror the previous day that Crowther had written to congratulate him on obtaining the job of presenting The Price is Right when it was relaunched on 4 September 1995. Crowther was cremated a week later, on 7 October. His ashes were later scattered at Lord's and a memorial service was held for him in London on 27 November. Also in October, at that year's National Television Awards, Matthew Kelly dedicated an award he won for Stars In Their Eyes to Crowther.
