Personal Quote:

All my family were doctors. I was born in Wales, and I was supposed to go into medicine. I weak-mindedly allowed myself to be led into reading science and got a natural sciences degree at Cambridge. With great relief, I gave it all up and started work as a call boy at the BBC.

Trivia:

He has one son: the BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, with Sylvia Rich; and three children: Lavinia, the director Simon Cellan Jones, and Deiniol who died in 2013, with his wife Margot Eavis. See more »
