- Alan_Towers abstract "Alan Towers (1934 – 24 May 2008) was a former presenter of Midlands Today, BBC Midlands' regional news programme.After stints as a newsreader with ITN and Granada Television in Manchester, Towers joined BBC Midlands in 1972 as a main presenter on Midlands Today and was also seen nationally as a presenter of features from the English Midlands on Nationwide. His most famous item was the infamous skateboarding duck story. He regularly presented the programme with recently retired presenter Kay Alexander.Following a heart attack during the late eighties, Towers left his role as main presenter but continued on Midlands Today as a sports presenter and reporter. During this time, he also raised thousands of pounds for charity by walking the Great Wall of China and riding a motorbike across Canada.In 1997, Towers announced his resignation from the BBC on-air and left viewers with a disparaging comment about the state of BBC management:Despite these comments, Towers returned to Midlands Today as a special guest on the programme's last broadcast from the Pebble Mill studios in October 2004.Alan Towers died on Saturday 24 May 2008 at his home in Warwickshire, after a long illness.
