Where is my Wikipeadia page?
Andy Warhol made the now immortal statement that everybody in the World would be famous for 15 minutes however with Wikipeadia you not really anyone without a Wikipeadia page. Here is one such person who really should have one. Simon Parkin rose to fame with hosting jobs on Children's BBC in the late 1980's, even at one point hosting Top of the Pops on 2 occasions. However in 1990 after regular weekday CBBC host Andy Crane moved to host ITV's Saturday morning kids show Motormouth, Parkin was passed over for the post in favour of Andi Peters. In 1992 Parkin would himself move to ITV to present kid's slots for the newly launched Breakfast show GMTV however after it's disastrous launch Parkin was one of many presenters who lost their jobs. Since then he has mainly been working in Radio with a couple of spells presenting weather forecasts on a couple of ITV local stations. Simon Parkin is now hosting the weekday morning show on BBC Somerset Radio.
