A veteran BBC radio presenter is leaving after 50 years and has shared his specific plans for his last day.
Radio presenter Garry Richardson is leaving the BBC after five decades Veteran BBC radio presenter Garry Richardson has left the station after 43 years on air and five decades at the station. Richardson began his radio career on a local station in 1977. He then gave his first sports report on national radio in 1981 as a ‘cub’ reporter for Today, age 24, before working his way up to become a regular presenter on the show.
And I can’t get back to sleep. ‘So, I tune in to Radio 4 Extra and listen to an old episode of Dad’s Army, then head to the studio way before anyone else gets in.’ Richardson also addressed the comments that he inspired Steve Coogan to create Alan Partridge. ‘I’ve got the blazer – I could be his stunt double,’ he quipped.
