Tom Edwards (broadcaster)

Tom Edwards (born 20 March 1945) is a British radio presenter and television announcer.

In 1970 he presented the weekday morning regional opt-outs from the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 called This is East Anglia.

Edwards was an in-vision announcer for Thames Television for most of the 1980s, also working for ATV and HTV West.

After recovering from alcoholism, his friend Bob Monkhouse gave him a job as the voiceover artist on the game show Wipeout in the late 1990s.

The book also delves into Edwards' personal battle with alcohol and drug addiction, which he successfully overcame after spending three years in a rehabilitation centre in Lincolnshire.
