Alistair Appleton has opened up about his first-ever TV presenting gig, and it sounds like it could have gone better! Chatting to
Fantastic Man magazine, the
Deutsche Welle, and that he was "terrible". 
The opportunity came about while he was living in Berlin, and he explained: "In terms of TV presenting, it was the biggest baptism of fire you can imagine. It was live, no autocue, no earpiece. You had to write your own scripts and learn them, and there was simultaneously the problem of having to translate them into German.
