Scot, Gavin, started his career as a journalist and made quite a splash in the field before joining Newsnight in the 1980s'.
He has travelled the world as part of his career and has reported from numerous places around the globe, even becoming the BBC's chief North America correspondent for a spell where he covered the George H. W. Bush and Clinton administrations - must have been a busy time for him!
Gavin went on to become an anchor for the BBC News channel and he remained with the corporation for many years before deciding to part ways with them in 2018 - although he did return to work with them again as the host of Talking Books.
