Tributes poured in from people, such as Tony Blair who said Mr Clarke was a "true professional who represented the best elements of public service broadcasting". Helen Boaden, the BBC News head also said: "Nick was a superb journalist, it's hard to imagine Radio 4 or BBC journalism without him". Nick Clarke not only presented World at One, but chaired the Round Britain quiz and debate series, Straw Poll.
