Who is Gordon Honeycombe?
Ronald Gordon Honeycombe is an author, playwright and stage actor, well known in the United Kingdom as a national television newscaster.
Gordon Honeycombe was born in Karachi, in British Raj, and educated at the Edinburgh Academy and at University College, Oxford, from which he graduated with an MA in English. He undertook National Service with the Royal Artillery, mainly in Hong Kong, where he was also an announcer with Radio Hong Kong. Returning to the UK, he embarked on an acting career which led to television and public prominence as a national newscaster.
As a newscaster, Honeycombe always seemed warm but stern while on-screen. Off camera, he was a flamboyant, fun-loving character with a devilish sense of humour.
He has now settled in Perth, Western Australia, where he continues to work for radio, TV and the theatre. He regularly does voice-over work for radio and television, and documentary narrations.
