Biography
Coia studied science at Glasgow, his town of birth. After doing some disco DJing, he spent some time at hospital radio before getting a role at Radio Clyde. After announcing roles failed to bring about some on-screen appearances, he grapsed the nettle and left to do chat and magazine shows, including the famous BBC 1 afternoon show Pebble Mill.
Thereafter followed a string of BBC, satellite and cable quiz shows. He is married to the former Miss Great Britain Debbie Greenwood (who herself hosted First Class and co-hosted Spellbound with Paul). He also used to be a continuity announcer on ABC1 and turns up on QVC from time to time.
Trivia
His voice launched Channel 4 in 1982 (although Richard Whiteley was the first face to be seen). Little-known fact: the announcement was taped to ensure there were no fluffs.
