Rory McGrath

Rory is a highly experienced presenter as well as a brilliant and versatile comedy writer and performer, best known as the only original team member to appear in all eighteen seasons of the comedy sports quiz They Think It's All Over ... which ran for 11 years on BBC 1 until the final season in 2006.

Rory started off writing for The Dave Allen Show and Alas Smith and Jones in the mid-eighties, before moving onto TV in 1989 and appearing as a panellist on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and in two series of Chelmsford 123 which he co-wrote (both for Channel 4).

He has presented many quiz shows and factual programmes on travel, sport and history, including Three Men in a Boat, A Word in Your Era, The Holiday Show, The History Fix, (all BBC), Killer Queens (ITV), Bloody Britain and Engineering Britain (Discovery). Rory has also appeared as an actor in comedy favourites such as Drop the Dead Donkey, Have I Got News for You, Don't Quote Me and About Face (Central TV) with Maureen Lipman.

After the success of Rory and Paddy's Great British Adventure, in which Rory teamed up with fellow comedian Paddy McGuiness to take a bizarre sporting road trip around Britain, Rory and Paddy's Even Greater British Adventure launched on Five in September 2010. On the theme of motor adventures Monte Carlo or Bust aired in October 2010, while on water, another acclaimed series of The Lakes aired in 2011.

Having appeared on the panel for Channel 4's The TV Book Club, Rory recently fronted the new History Channel series, Pub Dig and the Christmas special Three Men Go to New England.
