Peter Fincham
Married to Clare, who runs a charity, the couple have four children: two boys and two girls. The family live in London, and have weekend retreat in Walberswick, Suffolk - the same village as Richard Curtis. Fincham is know for his efficiency and nose for detail in business, but also his easy-going style of dress, with open-collared shirts worn under his suits. Musically he enjoys Bob Dylan and Neil Young.[22]
Outside of broadcasting, Fincham co-edited The Utterly Utterly Merry Comic Relief Christmas Book with author Douglas Adams in 1986.[23]
