Stuart is a prolific, popular and extremely highly regarded TV and radio presenter, journalist, columnist and best-selling author.

Stuart is on BBC Radio 6 Music (with Mark Radcliffe) every weekend morning between 8 and 10am.

His latest book, The Full English (Harper Collins North, 2023) sees Stuart travelling in the footsteps of J. B. Priestley, using his 1930s book, English Journey, as his guide. Along the way he interrogates its insights and perspectives, as he navigates his own way around twenty first century England. The Full English was The Times' book of the week and is a Sunday Times best-seller.

His previous work, The Nanny State Made Me (Ebury Press 2020) examines the positive impact of the Welfare State through the prism of his sixties and seventies childhood as well as interviews with the countless beneficiaries of its work. He looks at its gradual dismantling and the effect that its rise and fall and (hopeful) rise has had on the nation we are now. The latest edition has been revised to reflect events since March 2020...

In 2017, he retraced the Jarrow march, in real time, to mark its 80th anniversary. The book of his walk, The Long Road from Jarrow spent five weeks in The Sunday Times Best-Seller list, and The Observer said 'He is as funny as Bryson and as wise as Orwell'. His other books include the hit love letter to the north, Pies and Prejudice; Adventures on the High Teas; The Pie At Night, and The People's Songs, which accompanies the Radio 2 series of the same name, currently being repeated on Sunday evenings.

Stuart loves a quiz, and is a Mastermind Champion, scoring their highest celebrity score answering questions on Modern British Poetry from 1900. He's on the North of England team on Radio 4's Brain of Britain, hosts new Radio 4 quiz My Generation and has triumphed in Pointless Celebrities on two occasions.

He is a fell-walker, northern soul afficionado, published poet and once shared a van with Napalm Death.

Testimonials

“Stuart did an excellent job; he was extremely professional, flexible and of course entertaining. There were lots of laughs from the audience which was good and I think he hit just the right tone. We have received lots of positive feedback. It was really nice of him to join us for the reception after the ceremony. He was very accommodating giving an interview on the red carpet and getting in a few photos for guests.”
