Sad to learn of the death of Paul Vaughan, first presenter of Radio 4’s arts programme Kaleidscope (now Front Row) and the unseen voiceover of television science programme, Horizon.

A renaissance man rare among BBC lifers, Paul could present and interview anything and anyone in no time flat. As a first-time author many years ago, he made me feel totally at ease in his austere studio. Lovely man. Knew his music. Lived a good long life, died at 89.

    A lovely man, a real legend around BH when I first started at the BBC.
    Of course, his voice was BEST known on the Orange ads: “The future’s bright. The future’s Orange,”
