Biography
Veteran journalist with a reputation as an abrasive political interviewer. He presented the Nine O'Clock News in the 1980s before moving to Radio 4's Today, which he has anchored since 1987.
Trivia
His surname was originally spelt Humphries but he changed it early in his journalistic career to avoid confusion with a similarly named colleague.
In 2004, he launched a withering attack on reality television, saying that "the way to get ratings is to get evil". Eyebrows were raised a year later when he appeared on Art School, itself a, er, reality show.
