THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Pete Murray, radio and television presenter and actor, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews while interviewing the newly crowned Miss World on his Radio 2 morning show at BBC Broadcasting House in central London.

Pete, who was born in London, began his broadcasting career in 1949 on Radio Luxembourg before joining the BBC in the mid-1950s. He presented programmes on the Light Programme, Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 4.

Pete became one of Britain's first pop music television presenters, hosting the rock and roll programme Six-Five Special in the late 1950s and appearing as a regular panellist on Juke Box Jury between 1959 and 1967, in addition to hosting and providing commentary for several Eurovision Song Contests.
