Children's ITV

Kinsey first appeared on CITV in July 1991, to present their summer mornings service, which ran from 9:25am - 12:30pm each weekday throughout July & August. He also stood in for the CITV afternoons service presenter, Tommy Boyd on several occasions, one of which was the week before Christmas in 1991. There was no CITV summer mornings service from '92 onwards, so Kinsey didn't return to CITV until late '92, following Boyd's departure. Kinsey took over presenting in the afternoons from December '92 to February '93. He left CITV in February '93 though, after the new CITV controller, Dawn Airey abolished in-vision continuity in favour of an out-of-vision service, with voice-over links provided by Steven Ryde instead. Kinsey was a big fan of the CITV programme, Knightmare and was the first honorary member of the "Knightmare Adenturer's Club". His fellow CITV presenter, Boyd was the second member.

Other Work

Following CITV, Kinsey moved behind-the-scenes to become a full-time presentation and communication skills consultant and coach. He is also a successful author, with 3 books to his name so far. His first book, "Tricky Business", was published in 1990, when he was only 19 years old! This book was all about magic and accompanied the BBC TV series of the same name. He has worked on other TV shows for the BBC, ITV & Sky too.
