When did he start his journalism career?
Clive began his illustrious journalism career in 1987 when he joined the corporation as a trainee radio reporter.
His first assignment was for Radio Bristol, and soon he landed a presenting job on the region’s flagship TV news show Points West.
A decade after he started as a trainee radio reporter, Clive became the Tokyo correspondent for BBC News. He then moved to LA to be the BBC’s correspondent there.
In 2002 he was appointed BBC Asia correspondent, and then Paris correspondent in 2006.
During his time on the road, Clive covered stories like the impeachment of former US president, Bill Clinton, as well as the wars in Kosovo and Afghanistan.
In 2019, Clive began presenting the BBC’s News At Six and News At Ten.
This year he won two RTS journalism awards: one for Television Journalist Of The Year, and another for Network Presenter Of The Year.
What did he say about hosting Mastermind?
Clive follows in the footsteps of John, Clive Anderson, Peter Snow and original host Magnus Magnusson.
He told the BBC: “It’s an icon of British TV, and it’s being entrusted into my hands.
“It’s a big, big, big job and obviously I’m following the footsteps of John Humphrys, who has been brilliant for so many years, so yes, there’s a level of trepidation.
“But there’s also excitement, it’s a new venture and the show is something I grew up watching so for me to be part of that now is fantastic.”
Is Clive married?
Clive is married to Catherine, a furniture restorer and upholsterer, in 1998.
It’s not known if the couple has any children, as Clive keeps his private life very private.

However, in an interview with the University of Sussex, he was asked who had influenced his life the most.
“My wife Catherine, by giving me the courage and space to pursue my dreams,” he answered.
He also said in an interview with the Daily Mail: “I met Catherine, who then worked in publishing, at the 1992 London launch of a book about Swiss cheeses… even though I don’t much like cheese!
“It was love at first sight for me.
“I’d just been made the BBC’s LA correspondent, so after returning to the UK for our big day, we flew back to the States before honeymooning on Venezuela’s Maracaibo coast.”
