As @BBCSimonMcCoy has said he is leaving BBC News, here is a thread of his best bits.
Starting with this iconic Royal Baby announcement:
Starting with this iconic Royal Baby announcement:
When he absolutely lost it whilst reporting on this man who plays the piano to monkeys
When someone on his team put words in the autocue just to troll him
When he reported that Pippa Middleton had given birth … “to a baby”
When he despaired having to report on the world dog surfing championships
When Boris Johnson said that he paints cardboard buses in his spare time and he followed it up with “I wonder what he writes on the side of it”
When someone kept putting dog puns in the autocue so he turned the cameras round and showed us what was on them
When he said this on the BBC News Channel in the closing moments of 2020
When he reported on an air display team that accidentally flew over some startled yodellers
When he came out with *brutally* sassy line whilst reporting a socially distant trick or treat concept
When the BBC News cameras went wrong and he made us all wait
When he reported that The Queen’s garden parties had been cancelled, opening the report with “it may affect you, but it doesn’t affect me.”
And… the *iconic* time he started a news report by holding a packet of photocopier paper.
