Biography

Anthony H. Wilson is, of course, a living legend. Presenter of Granada Reports since the middle ages, he is best-known outside the North West of England as the man who founded Factory Records, discovered New Order and the Happy Mondays, made a lot of money, lost it all on the Hacienda, and wound up back where he started - reading the news. Probably the only gameshow host on this site to have had a feature film made about him. And a really good, hit film at that.

Trivia

In the aforesaid film, 24 Hour Party People, he is portrayed by Steve Coogan. Wilson himself also had a cameo in the movie (as a TV director) and wrote the tie-in book.

Incidentally, at one point the film shows Wilson hosting Wheel of Fortune. This never actually happened in real life.
