Meet the nominees: ITV Calendar's Duncan Wood

“I’d been at my dad’s paper since I could walk,” ITV Calendar’s Duncan Wood recalls. “I was smelling the ink, seeing the presses rolling…”

“My dad hated journalists,” he laughs. “He went from office boy to Managing Director. He hated them with a passion.”
