Biography
Veteran journalist with a reputation as an abrasive political interviewer. He presented the Nine O'Clock News in the 1980s before moving to Radio 4's Today, which he has anchored since 1987.
Trivia
In 2004, he launched a withering attack on reality television, saying that "the way to get ratings is to get evil". Eyebrows were raised a year later when he appeared on Art School, itself a, er, reality show. Though (admittedly) not particularly evil.
He has received honorary degrees from the University of Wales, University of Dundee and Abertay University.
He recieved an Outstanding Contribution award (pictured above) at the 2005 Welsh BAFTAs.
He lists his recreations in Who's Who as music, hill walking, and attempting to play the cello.
