Rico Daniels is an English television presenter who has his own show, The Salvager[2] on Discovery Real Time. A passionate recycler, the second series (similar in content to the first) saw him moving in France and was called Le Salvager.[3] Born in Basildon, Essex in 1952, Daniels was brought up in the town and left school at 15[4] to become a civil servant, but soon realised this was not for him and enrolled as an art student. Disliking the formal tuition[5] Daniels embarked on a range of jobs before settling for the life of a market trader.[6] In 2002 he was invited to screen test for a new programme about men and their sheds.[7] While he was not quite suitable for this assignment, the producer liked his idiosyncratic style and commissioned him for a series of programmes showcasing his imaginative talent for changing something unwanted into a distinctive piece of furniture which was to become the show we know today as The Salvager name changed to Le Salvager when the presenter moved to France.[8]
