Also worked at LBC and presented The Money Programme on TV. Just announced on Radio 4.

Must be breaking news as his Wikipedia entry hasn't been updated yet.

Seconded Mark. A news presenter who oozed gravitas, precisely because he wasn't cultivating and grooming his own ego.

I can think of a few nowadays who could learn a bit from him about the real meaning of radio current affairs programmes.
