OK, I shall take up the baton with:-
What are Inextinguishable, Polish or Titan?

70018, 66585 and whatever 47080 now is, respectively..

Or possibly Derby winning horses so early and obscure that even the LNER wouldn't name anything after them.

Or Grand National winners maybe?

A gamble here, but this has been bugging me all night. My mind keeps coming back to classical music, maybe they are the names of symphonies? For the life of me though I cannot even think of who may have composed them even if they are symphonies.
I do seem to remember trips out with my Dad in the car, blaring out Classic FM a Titan Symphony, but that could be my memory playing tricks on me as it so often does.

I'll not be online until tomorrow evening so if by some miracle I am correct then please carry on, the floor will be open.

Spot on. The "Inextinguishable" was written by Nielsen, the "Polish" by Tchaikowsky, and the "Titan" by Mahler.

That's the one I couldn't think of.
I think he also hosted a few game shows in the States too, and I seem to remember him appearing on the weakest link too.

It was indeed Fresh Prince and Silver Spoons.

Both of you two gave the answers in so if you want you can fight it out for who takes the floor...
