Stuart Hall

Biography

Long-serving football reporter and host of Look North West and North West Tonight. Hall was best known for his tendency to crack up laughing at the antics of contestants on It's a Knockout and his frequently irritating habit of demanding reactions from breathless competitors as soon as they'd crossed the finish line.

He was arrested in 2012 for a series of indecent assaults between 1967 and 1985 to which he pleaded guilty, and was subsequently sentenced to 30 months in jail.

Trivia

Owns a large collection of antique clocks, including one previously owned by Napoleon.

Appointed OBE in the 2012 New Years Honours list, until the honour was revoked following his conviction.

Catchphrase

As used on North West Tonight: Until tomorrow, I wish you as always... a fond farewell.
