Throughout his career he has worked alongside many household names from the world of film, stage and television, including in a few cases, ‘filming' their first ever television appearances.
He has travelled extensively to mountain top observatories across five continents with Patrick Moore, recording material for ‘The Sky at Night".
Interwoven with stories of programme making, is his personal story and the effect of the changes to the BBC, brought about by government, on the staff at the bottom of the pyramid.
And he has kissed Elizabeth Taylor.
