Trevor was ATV London’s man in the continuity hot seat in the 1960s. A bit of a smoothy, he received lots of fan mail, and also had the honour of making the last announcement on the station before it was replaced by London Weekend Television in 1968. Trevor moved to ATV in the Midlands from 1968 when the station won its seven-day franchise there.
