Batey was born in Brampton, Cumberland, and educated at the White House School, Brampton. After appearing in clubs as a ventriloquist he made his first TV appearance in 1958 as an interviewer for the BBC. In 1961 he moved to the newly established Border Television, where he became known as "a classless hero who blazed a trail in popular television."[3] He is best known for hosting the original 450-episode run[4] of the game show Mr. and Mrs., which was for many years the only programme produced by Border Television that was networked nationally. He also hosted the talk show Look Who's Talking. Try for TenBatey also hosted Try for Ten, another game show produced by Border in Carlisle, Cumbria. Contestants on the show tried to give ten consecutive correct True or False answers to a series of statements. Contestants were eliminated if they gave three wrong answers in a row, or a total of ten wrong answers. If the game ended early, they won £1 per answer for their best run of correct responses. If they reached their target of ten, they won a rolling jackpot that increased by £25 per failure. Later workIn 2006, it was confirmed that Batey would be working as a consultant (including writing some of the questions) on the latest version of Mr. and Mrs. on ITV1.[5][6] Personal lifeBatey resided in Florida with his wife, Edith, to whom he was married for 62 years, and had one daughter, Diane. He died in a hospice in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire after a short illness, aged 84.[7] References{{wikinews|Presenter Derek Batey dies at age 84}}1. ^UKGameShows.com 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.itv.com/news/border/update/2013-02-18/derek-batey-dies/ |title=Derek Batey dies | Border - ITV News |publisher=Itv.com |date=2013-02-13 |accessdate=2013-02-18}} 3. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20121022004144/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4852108.html The Independent (London)] 14 June 1997 4. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20121022004209/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-60203922.html Sunday Mercury (Birmingham)] 5. ^[https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-92991900 Daily Record (Glasgow)] 6. ^"Mr and Mrs quiz set for revival", BBC, 23 July 2006 7. ^Derek Batey dies aged 84 itv.com (Border News), Retrieved 12 March 2013.
