[2] Kenneth Branagh has stated that he was consciously imitating Danvers-Walker's "perky tone" in a spoof "newsreel" segment in his 2000 film Love's Labour's Lost.

This rule was quietly dropped in 1943, and from then on he was deployed on a variety of morale-boosting wartime BBC radio shows, including Round and About and London Calling Europe.

He was the announcer on the "rebel" version of the comedy programme Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh on Radio Luxembourg when the show was in temporary exile from the BBC (1950–51), and for the science-fiction series Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future on the same station (1951–55).

[citation needed] The arrival of ITV (commercial television) in 1955 brought new opportunities, including as the announcer on Michael Miles' game show Take Your Pick!

[7][8] Danvers-Walker died of cancer in the Churchill Hospital, Oxford, England, on 17 May 1990, and was survived by his wife Vera Nita White, whom he had married in 1933; they had a son and a daughter.
