His mother, Susan Deayton, was an employee at Bletchley Park where the Nazi's Enigma code was cracked during World War II.

He has one son, of whom Richard Wilson is godfather.

He was dropped as host of the popular satirical news quiz Have I Got News for You (1990) after 11 years at the helm following a UK newspaper scandal.

His one time partner Stephanie De Sykes wrote at least two U.K. Eurovision Song Contest entries which makes his programme "Not Another Eurovision Song Contest" somewhat ironic.

[on his replacements on Have I Got News for You (1990)] People in the media should thank me. My absence has given lots of work to people who are never heard of for decades.

[after being fired from his job on Have I Got News for You (1990)] When one door closes another one falls on top of you.
