Nick Knowles

Nick started his TV career at the BBC in the Documentary Features department, then spent two years in Australia before returning to the UK as Reporter, Producer and Director. He was the first journalist on the scene of the Deal barracks bombing.

A free-lance presenter at heart, Nick has always refused to be pigeon-holed: "I can never understand presenters who will only work with autocue or will only work in studio – it's like being a carpenter and only making wardrobes!"
