TELEVISION When he was 17 he moved with his family to New Zealand where he made his TV debut presenting the children's music programme ''Shazam!'' in 1982. After a year or so, he moved back to the UK, where he first appeared on UK television presenting '' Children's BBC '' on weekdays (from "the broom cupboard") in the '80s and then '' Going Live! '' on Saturday mornings for many years. He then moved onto adult-oriented TV with various documentaries and holiday programmes for ITV . Schofield presented ''Talking Telephone Numbers'' for five series until its demise, and the '' National Lottery - Winning Lines '' programme for the BBC . He currently presents a daytime TV talk-show, '' This Morning '' on ITV, along with Fern Britton and Lorraine Kelly . He also presents occasional show '' Test The Nation '', a BBC nationwide Quiz , alongside Anne Robinson and the daytime programme, '' Have I Been Here Before? '' In 2006 he co-presented the Celebrity Reality Television show, '' Dancing On Ice ''. RADIO In this era he was presenting ''Going Live!'', he was also a presenter on BBC Radio 1 with a Sunday show (also called ''Going Live''). In 1988 When Radio 1 went to FM Stereo Philip was one of the presenters chosen to help launch it by turning on the transmitter in Southend . ( Simon Mayo was supposed to be there as well but apparently didn't turn up as he was in a helicopter in Norwich leaving Philip & a Radio 1 producer stranded.) Phillip and the Producer legged it in the car back to London leaving most of the crowd (Including the Mayor and the Councilors all looking at the sky waiting for the helicopter!) This was the reason why Phillip chose Southend as one of his pet hates (Which also included his ex-sidekick Gordon the Gopher!) when he appeared on ''Room 101'' in 2005. THEATRE To many people's surprise (but to enormous acclaim), he also elected to try theatre and took over the role of Joseph in '' Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat '' from Jason Donovan on the West End stage. As a consequence he achieved a moderately placed single in the UK charts with ''Close Every Door''. Another theatre production he was involved in was '' Dr Doolittle ''. TRIVIA
