Legendary TV presenter Paul Barnes has died aged 85. The television and radio host worked across the BBC for years and appeared on a number of programmes, including The Village Show, Folio, and Anything Goes.
He collaborated with Anthea Turner during his distinguished career. Paul’s wife shared a heartfelt tribute as she announced the sad news. Fellow broadcaster Helen McDermott said he had lived a “full and colourful life”.
She added: “He loved life and whatever he did, TV, Radio or writing, he was a perfectionist.” The couple even worked together, writing an alternating column every fortnight for the Norwich Evening News.
