He was the first broadcaster to announce the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster in 1986[citation needed]. In 1992, he took on his current role as environmental reporter for BBC South Today, which included reporting on the construction of the controversial Newbury bypass. He occasionally presents BBC South Today when the lead presenter, Sally Taylor, is unavailable.
