1257: Conversations. Episode 34: Colin Berry
His clear tones epitomised a calm era of Radio 2. Armed with some TV experience and a spell with the pirate Radio Caroline, Colin Berry joined the BBC\u2019s new 'Light Programme' in the seventies.
\n\n\nHe was to host all of its major dayparts, from time to time, and was said to be the station\u2019s longest continuous-serving news reader until his final bulletin in 2012. Famously too, for 25 years, we heard him deliver the UK\u2019s voting in the Eurovision song contest.
\n\n\nIn his own words, this is the Colin Berry story.
