Hi there, and thanks for visiting my website. I'm Bill Buckley, a radio and television presenter with more than 40 years' experience.

Most recently you'll have heard me present the mid‑morning programme on BBC Radio Berkshire, 10:00-14:00, Thursdays to Sundays.

I've been involved in News and Current Affairs throughout my career, having qualified as a newspaper journalist. I've reviewed the national newspapers many times on television and radio, including BBC News, Sky News and BBC Radio 5 Live.

I've also worked in Consumer Affairs and you may even remember me on the BBC's 'That's Life!' with Esther Rantzen.

I'm also a highly experienced voice-over artist. Want to hear examples of my work or make a booking?

As well as my TV and Radio work I love to act and sing, and in particular I enjoy writing about food. I am proud to be a member of the prestigious Guild of Food Writers.

I guested as a food critic on two series of ITV's Britain's Best Dish, judging dishes during three programmes, before being invited back to the live finals alongside such foodie luminaries as Blur's Alex James. I also judged the celebrity version of the show. Please go to the Showreel page to see a clip of these programmes.

Since 1997, I have judged the annual Academy of Chocolate Awards - academyofchocolate.org.uk and the Guild of Fine Food's Great Taste Awards - britishfinefoods.com. I also judged the World Cheese Awards for several years.

I won the London week of a series of Channel 4's long running culinary contest, Come Dine With Me. The shows continue to be rebroadcast on various channels.

I judged the cooking of Antony Worral Thompson and Paul Rankin in a series on UKTV Food, The People's Cookbook.

I've even written a hit record for Su Pollard that almost made it to Number 1!
