I absolutely love when TV shows get real newsreaders to do fake broadcasts for their characters to watch. Like, here's Clive Myrie, winner of the Bayeux-Calvados Award for war correspondents and Television Journalist of the Year (2021). He's here to tell Doctor Who that the aliens have taken London

BBC Election 2024 coverage

BBC Election 2024 coverage

The BBC has pulled together a guide to its General Election 2024 coverage across all its platforms. There’s a lot on offer, but the actual election night coverage feels less fleshed out than it might be. Clive Myrie and Laura Kuessenberg In fact this is as they were so quick off the mark, I missed this announcement — Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie to host BBC network TV election night…

Who succeeded John Humphrys as question master of the British game show 'Mastermind' in 2021?

'Mastermind' is a British television quiz show that is, as of 2021, presented by journalist and newsreader Clive Myrie (born 1964). Myrie took up the role after the previous question master, John Humphrys (born 1943), decided to step down after 18 years. Myrie made his debut as the host of 'Mastermind' on 23rd August 2021. Previous presenters include Magnus Magnusson from 1972 until 1997, Peter Snow from 1998 until 2000, and Clive Anderson from 2001 until 2002.

The creator of the game show, Bill Wright, was inspired by his experience of being interrogated by the Gestapo during World War II. In the show, four contestants face an intimidating setting and challenging questions about a specialised subject of the contestants' choice and general knowledge. The winner is the contestant with the most points at the end of the show.

Myrie is the son of Jamaican immigrants who first joined the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in 1987 as a trainee local radio reporter. He worked his way up the career ladder, becoming the BBC foreign correspondent in 1999 and a presenter on the BBC News Channel in 2009.

Throughout his career, Myrie has experienced racist abuse and death threats because of his skin colour. Fortunately, he refused to let the abusers win and persevered, winning both "Television Journalist of the Year" and "Network Presenter of the Year" in the 2021 'RTS (Royal Television Society) Television Journalism Awards'.

  I have always believed that poems come into your life when you need them most. (That was the whole premise of Lifesaving Poems.) Listening to the BBC’s Clive Myrie reading John Keats’s Endymion this week I had that experience again (thank you Peter Carpenter for the recommendation). When was the last time I read it, I thought.…

What Do You Know About Ebola?

What Do You Know About Ebola? @PIH #Ebola #Africa #Response

Past year, it was a massive news attention on some West Africa countries. The world seemed paranoid for the Ebolaoutbreak. Some media channels even dared to compare the spread of that illness with the “Zombie Apocalypse”. Surrealist but true. Now, that this media fever has passed away it seems nobody remembers that Ebola still being a problem for some locals.…
