Yet he has been on our screens and radios constantly over the past few weeks as his specialised subject has hit the headlines constantly.
This morning's Independent carries a profile of him and it is well worth a read.Having just listened to his analysis of the latest financial crisis on Radio 4,my views are starting to change
Here is a taster
Extraordinary, I mean quite extraordinary, I've never in my career known a period of such intense change," is how he describes his working life over the past weeks, a period of such "absolutely frenetic activity" that he has been obliged to work "16 or 17 hour days, more or less non-stop".
He came to the screen after a career exclusively in the print world
He talks of the "appalling and scary" experience of his first appearance on the flagship Ten O'Clock News (which he repeatedly refers to as News at Ten, for which Huw Edwards will surely forgive him in view of the 17-hour days). "You think 'Oh my God, there are five or six million people looking at me now and I'm sure I'm not going to be able to speak'."
A person I am sure that we are going to get more and more used to in the next few months
