Michael Hugh Scully (5 March 1943 – 8 October 2015)[1][2] was an English journalist, radio and television presenter. He was the host and longest-serving presenter of the BBC programme Antiques Roadshow from 1981 to 2000.[3][4]
Born in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire,[1] Scully spent much of his childhood in Malta and Egypt, where his father was stationed with the Royal Air Force. From the age of thirteen, he was educated at Prior Park College, a boarding school in Bath, Somerset and, after leaving, worked for a period with the piano company Steinway & Sons. For a short time he worked as a record producer at Saga Records in London.
