Career
Warman originally trained as a civil engineer for two years[2] but took up journalism after being inspired by an older brother who worked on a newspaper.

During this time he presented Britain's first breakfast programme Good Morning Calendar in 1977. In 1979, he returned to Associated Television, whom he had originally joined in 1973 following a previous position at BBC Radio Birmingham, to work on ATV News. When ATV became Central in 1982, Warman presented the West edition of Central News.
In 1989, Warman hosted the Sky Television version of The Price Is Right based on the American show of the same name as The New Price is Right until 1990.
