Presented himself with panache

Scottish Daily Express

September 27, 2025

THE face of factual programming for a generation, John Stapleton will be remembered for shows such as the BBC's Watchdog and GMTV's News Hour.

He also hosted the ITV morning talk show The Time, The Place and presented the Sunday morning programme My Favourite Hymns.

During a hugely successful career, he covered many major global news events, interviewing big names including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and several prime ministers.

The Royal Television Society gave Stapleton its award for News Presenter Of The Year in 2003 for his work covering the war in Iraq for GMTV. But perhaps his bestloved interview was with Rod Hull and his bad-tempered puppet Emu on TV-am in 1983.
