the early 80s. He then moved to Border Television where
he presented his own T.V show, Pick a Number which he
wrote and devised. |

show was bought by Grampian Television where it ran
for 10 years and was the franchise’s top-rated
TV programme. |
| |
| During
his time in Aberdeen, Phil worked as Programme Associate
for Pick a Number which he also presented as a live
roadshow throughout Scotland. As well as recording trailers/
links and the Annual Toy Appeal for Grampian, Phil presented
the ITV Telethon show for three T.V. stations: Border,
Grampian and Scottish, all in 24 hrs. |
