It's been quite a journey from those slightly nervous moments being dragged out of the wilds of Dartmoor to talk about my butterfly work or a train trip to 'the big smoke' to talk about the 'Bug Club' on Blue Peter in the old and iconic BBC TV Centre - now sadly no more.
Radio is where I got my confidence - being interviewed by Kelvin Boot for Radio 4's Natural History Programme and becoming the go-to guest for local BBC Radio Devon is where it started to come together. That was back in the early 1990's while I was still at University and the rest, as they say is history.
Here is my history as so far as it's been broadcast. My personal archive has some holes in it, and there is quiet a bit missing from the online archives (for example the Radio 4 and Watch Out's very first Spring Watches were hosted by me, but seem to have been expunged from, the record). Anyhow here's the best version of my videography and Radiography that I can recall.
Those in bold are series in which I was a lead presenter.
