Neil Buchanan

(Neil did indeed reform Marseille for a short while after Art Attack ended, and I've moved this from the Trivia to his bio. I think he's still involved in TV, too, albeit the other side of the camera)
(Trivia: Neil founded The Media Merchants with his Art Attack co-creator, Tim Edmunds, and it's not coincidental that two of the other shows produced by this company were also presented by Neil)

Born in Liverpool in 1956, Neil played guitar in a heavy metal band called Marseille before beginning his television career in the early 1980s. He hosted TVS's Number 73 and its replacement Motormouth on Saturday mornings, oversaw room raiding on Finders Keepers, and played French artist Smart Arty in comic book show ZZZap!.

After Art Attack ended, Neil reformed Marseille for a short while, before focusing on serious art work and photography.
