Within two years Howard had started broadcasting alongside his acting career, working freelance for various production houses as a voice over artist, then securing a job at Essex Radio as a commercial producer. This led to his first presenting job, and the switch to the BBC followed soon afterwards.

Howard appeared in the West End stage and TV versions of ’Allo ’ Allo for four years before becoming a presenter on the BBC’s That’s Life! Programme, a job he did for five years until the programme was finally axed. Howard still works in theatre, and may be seen this Christmas in Cinderella at Skegness.
