It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of beloved BBC presenter, Chris Serle, at the age of 81. Throughout the 80s and 90s, Serle graced our television and radio screens with his charming personality and quick wit. Many will remember him from his time on the satirical consumer affairs show, That's Life!, alongside the legendary Dame Esther Rantzen.
But Serle's talent didn't stop there. He went on to host other popular BBC programmes such as In at the Deep End and Points of View. He also chaired Radio 4's Pick of the Week for seven years and had a successful afternoon show on BBC Radio Bristol.
In the 80s, Serle took viewers on a trip down memory lane with his show Windmill, where he showcased archived BBC clips on various themes, including Doctor Who and Blue Peter. He also made appearances on The Computer Programme in 1982 and Monkey Business in the early 2000s.
In a statement, Serle's family shared that he was a "familiar and cherished figure on British television screens throughout the 1970s and 1980s". He will be deeply missed by his wife Ali, their three children, and two children from a previous marriage.
As his family prepares for his funeral and memorial service, the details will be shared in due course. If you have any stories, videos, or pictures of Serle, please get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency. You can email us, call us, or visit our Submit Stuff page.
