Biography

Barry Norman was the son of Leslie Norman, a British film and television director, producer, and writer, and his wife Elizabeth. He attended a state primary school and Highgate School, an all-boys independent school in North London. He did not attend university; instead, he began his journalism career at the Kensington News. He later spent some time in South Africa, where he developed a strong opposition to the apartheid system that had emerged there.

By the 1960s, Norman had become a well-known journalist and served as the show business editor of the Daily Mail until 1971, when he was made redundant. Afterward, he wrote a weekly column for The Guardian every Wednesday and also contributed leader columns to the newspaper.

He began presenting BBC1's Film programme in 1972 and became its sole presenter the following year. His tenure was briefly interrupted in 1982 when he hosted Omnibus. Returning to the Film series in 1983, Norman grew increasingly frustrated with the BBC's inconsistent scheduling of the programme. In 1998, he accepted an offer to join BSkyB, where he worked for three years. Jonathan Ross succeeded him as presenter of the BBC programme.
