Pat Doody (11 November 1938 – 28 February 1990) was a British radio and television broadcaster best known for presenting *Night Ride* on BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 — the station’s late-night easy-listening programme that ran for many years and built a substantial nocturnal audience among shift workers, long-distance drivers and insomniacs across Britain. He worked in television as a continuity announcer for Border Television in Carlisle and Tyne Tees Television in Newcastle, and later became Senior Announcer at Border, the regional ITV company covering the English-Scottish borders. He died at fifty-one.
