 Obituary: John Timpson | Obituaries | Guardian Unlimited
Though he was the emollient partner of several more angular personalities on Today, including Robert Robinson and Brian Redhead, he was originally brought on board to give the programme a harder, more newsy flavour than Jack de Manio, who had been doing the job for 11 years.
His impressive calm was another television asset; it had been noticed on Today that while others in the studio lost their tempers, or at least their cool, the tall and beetle-browed Timpson always carried on as if nothing was happening.
But when he had to decide between the two, it was the television job that he left, protesting that it had never been his medium.

They did not have brief runs and make a huge impact, they were always there and became part of the television landscape, their familiarity breeding contentment rather than contempt.
