Biography
Long-serving South-of-England ITV newsreader whose willingness to send himself up has made him something of a cult figure. In the 1970s he was a sports presenter, including fronting coverage of the 1972 Olympics.
Perhaps best known for the kids' non-quiz shows How and How 2, but he's turned up in all sorts of improbable places - even on the BBC. Back home in the South he still presents Meridian Tonight.
Trivia
He is very keen on football, and is a director of Portsmouth FC.
He was the Kray Twins' official biographer.
Techno twiddlers Orbital used a sample of him reading a report of a supposed alien abduction on their track "LC1".
He was the co-presenter to Dickie Davies on ITV's World of Sport.
