UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE
Roger first stepped into the quiz show studio back in 1997 for University Challenge, and continues to be the voice of one of the world’s longest running television series. It requires fast reactions - there’s no time to blink when a student buzzes in – especially when the announcements involve some brilliant surnames like Singanayagam, Bhattacharya and Warnakulasuriya, and the pace is fast as both teams are neck-to-neck in the final 3 minutes of the show!

The series has also spawned spin-off series including University Challenge Reunited, University Challenge: The Professionals and a number of annual celebrity specials.

“It’s extremely good fun to do – the crew is so much fun to work with as are the students, there is even some entertainment for the audience while Jeremy and I have an elastic band fight in the studio. Annoyingly, he’s usually a better shot than I am!”

One of the few books he hasn’t written: Bill Bryson, special guest at the 2003 final…

FAMILY FORTUNES
In 2002, ITV not only hired Roger as the voiceover for 80 episodes of Family Fortunes, but also asked him to write scripts for 550 prize descriptions with a refreshingly off-the-wall approach, rather than the well-worn style “you’ve won a dishwasher…”

Say cheese: the 2002 crew of Family Fortunes…
Other quiz shows Roger has been engaged in have included pilot shows for clients like TalkbackThames/ Fremantle.
