Mark Durden-Smith

Biography

The very embodiment of the phrase "a safe pair of hands". Reasonably telegenic in a nondescript kind of way and always professional and clinically well-prepared, he's one of those presenters who turns up all over the place, but somehow you can't imagine anyone ever saying "hey, that show's got Mark Durden-Smith on it - let's watch!". He seemed to be Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's TV sidekick for a while in the 2000s.

Trivia

He's the son of perma-orange travel presenter Judith Chalmers and commentator (and sometime Treble Chance panellist) Neil Durden-Smith. His aunt, Sandra Chalmers, also has a game show credit to her name: she co-hosted the children's quiz Tichpuzzle! in 1964.

He used to be a researcher on Clive Anderson Talks Back.
