Douglas Smith began his broadcasting career with the BBC European Service (now the World Service) in 1946 and later worked as an announcer and newsreader on the Home Service and the Third Programme. He is perhaps best known as the very formal announcer on "Beyond Our Ken" (1958–1963), its more famous successor "Round the Horne" (1964–1969) and the short-lived "Stop Messing About" (1969–1970), where his 'BBC accent' was used to comic effect.
