Personal Quote:

[on Patrick Moore] One of the last great TV characters, like with Magnus Pyke and Bellamy (David Bellamy), those sort of people. The world's full of autocue readers now. I'm not saying that unkindly but it is, it's what we all do. See more »

Trivia:

12th March 2003. Appeared in court as a prosecution witness in the, so called, "Millionaire Trial" against Capt. Charles Ingram who with others was accused of defrauding the TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. See more »
