A contributor to the "News Chronicle" in the 1950s, he was television critic of "The Sunday Telegraph" for twenty-six years before being sacked in the mid-1980s by Peregrine Worsthorne, the then editor. Purser has also co-authored three editions of "Halliwell's Television Companion" (1982, 1986, originally "Halliwell's Teleguide" 1979) and wrote a TV film "The One and Only Phyllis Dixey" ("Peek-A-Boo") on the wartime erotic entertainer for Thames in 1978.
