Reverend John Stuart Roberts (born c.1939) is a Welsh writer and broadcaster, best known as the producer of the BBC's Everyman and Heart of the Matter series.[1][2] He was also a presenter of the long-running Songs of Praise.[3]
Roberts was ordained as a minister in the Congregational Church before going into television, and is a Christian Socialist.[4] He began his television career as Religious Broadcasting Organiser,[5] and was later Head of BBC Radio.[6] Huw Edwards, who sees him as a mentor, described him as "a free-thinking, provocative, unpredictable figure who openly despised the leaden ways of BBC management at that time".[7]
Roberts's 1999 book about the writer Siegfried Sassoon was the first full biography of the subject, and gave some prominence to Sassoon's conversion to Catholicism in later life.[8]
