Nigel Brian Windsor Widlake (13 April 1931 – 2 January 2017) was a British journalist, broadcaster and presenter.
[1] Widlake was educated at two independent schools for boys, at the time based in Hammersmith in West London: first at Colet Court School, now known as St Paul's Juniors, when, shortly after enrolment, he and others were evacuated to the village of Much Hadham in Hertfordshire in the early part of the Second World War, and then at St Paul's School, followed by Clare College, Cambridge.
[1] Widlake served initially as a cadet before his promotion to 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Hampshire Regiment on 4 November 1950.
[citation needed] Widlake worked as a reporter for ITN in the 1960s,[2] and was a regular presenter of BBC Radio 4's news magazine programmes The World at One and PM during the 1970s and 1980s.
Widlake died, following a short illness, at home in Wiltshire on 2 January 2017, at the age of 85.
