[1] He has appeared in many films, including Prudence and the Pill, Decline and Fall and The Vampire Lovers.
He married a Dane and moved to Chiswick in west London and in 1972 was unexpectedly chosen by BBC producer Johnny Beerling to succeed Alan Freeman as presenter of the BBC Radio 1 Sunday afternoon chart show.
Bernie Andrews was the producer of these chart shows and Pete Ritzema worked as engineer.
The first record that Tom Browne played on "Solid Gold 60" at 4.00 pm on Sunday 1 October 1972 was Honky Cat by Elton John.
The previous Sunday chart show, the long running Pick of the Pops with Alan Freeman, aired between 5-7 pm and was broadcast not just on 247m but Radio 2's FM and LW frequencies for the entire show, but the axing of Pick of the Pops, brought a change to the allocation of FM and LW airtime, with Radio 1 losing one of the precious hours of valuable FM and LW for its chart show, as they reverted to Radio 2.
From the outset on 1 October 1972, Solid Gold 60's final hour was broadcast on FM and LW as well as on Radio 1 (247m).
Sound effects, amongst many, included a racing car which indicated a record was rapidly moving up the top 20.
In 2003 he recorded linking vocals for Shaun Tilley's UK Rewind Top Twenty Show.
Browne moved to Thailand to retire with his Thai wife where he owns a farm where they grow mushrooms and rice.
