In the early 1970s, he joined Yorkshire Television where he was noted for his authoritative Received Pronunciation accent, shared by a number of his colleagues at YTV, such as Redvers Kyle; the company's presentation was much more similar to BBC Television (out-of-vision announcers with RP accents) than that of other ITV companies at the same time, some of which used friendlier in-vision announcers.
