Until recently John Sergeant was probably best known for his role as the BBCтАЩs chief political correspondent, a position that he held from 1992-2000 but now his amazing performance on Strictly Come Dancing has captured the whole nationsтАЩ attention.
John left the BBC to forward his career and joined ITV News. John was voted the тАШBest Individual Television Contributor of the YearтАЩ at the Voice of the Listener and Viewer Awards for 1999.
JohnтАЩs career with the BBC commenced in 1970 when he joined the corporation as a radio reporter in 1970 and covered stories in more than 25 countries.
John has worked as a War Correspondent and reported from International hot-spots such as Israel, Vietnam, Rhodesia and Cyprus. Additionally he reported regularly from Northern Ireland (he reported the first British soldier killed during the troubles) and has also been an acting correspondent in Washington, Paris and Dublin.
JohnтАЩs long dormant career in comedy was revived in 1998 when he appeared in an edition of тАШHave I Got News For YouтАЩ on BBC 2. Ian Hislop said he had been one of the funniest guests in the history of the program. Other comedy successes followed, including a memorable encounter with Paul Merton in Room 101 on BBC2 where John listed his pet hates, including the BBC TV program, Casualty.
John has been a guest on Radio 4s The News Quiz and many other programs including A Good Read. He has also presented Pick of the Year. Johns book, Give Me Ten Seconds (published by Macmillan), was described as тАЬAn all-time rip-roaring readтАЭ by the Independent on Sunday. John returned to BBCтАЩs Have I Got News For You but this time, as the presenter instead of a guest.
John Sergeant has since subsequently been engaged by Mentorn TV to produce a number of documentaries that include a three-part series entitled John SergeantтАЩs Tourist Trail. In which he asked the question why do tourists come to Britain? He is currently filming a new two-part documentary for Mentorn TV where he explores how the Railways built India. John is also the host of Argumental, a comedy debating game on Dave.
