As Moore’s mobility deteriorated, Lintott acquired an increasingly prominent role, often providing on-location reporting from events covered by the programme. In an interview in 2007 with Mark Lawson, Moore described him as “eminently suitable” as a presenter. He jointly presented the programme with Moore until the latter’s death in December 2012. Since the February 2013 episode, Chris Lintott has been a co-presenter with Lucie Green (until December 2013) and with Maggie Aderin-Pocock (since February 2014). In July 2004, Moore suffered a near-fatal bout of food poisoning and Lintott stood in as the sole presenter of that month’s episode. It was the only episode which Moore did not present since the show was first broadcast on 24 April 1957 until his death.
