'Our Graham' was the iconic voice of Blind Date for 17 years between 1985 and 2002
Neil said of his father: “ was getting towards the end of his career that he had Blind Date, so he was loving it.
“He’d been doing his whole career as, I think he started off with modelling, theatre, he did some musical work, and then he did tonnes of… a working kind of background artist and all this kind of stuff. “And then he did various adverts on TV, so he was a real jobbing, kind of actor-voice artist and Blind Date was his big thing.
“It was fantastic to get that and he loved it and did it for years. And then, from that, he got Shooting Stars as well, which was good fun.” An ITV spokesman said: “As the voice behind Blind Date for almost two decades, Graham was at the very heart of the show, and alongside Cilla Black, a huge part of the show’s enduring success amongst audiences.
