In 2004, Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden were co-presenters of Channel 4’s daytime game show, Beat the Nation, in which they indulged in usual game show “banter”, but took the quiz itself seriously.

He is also the author (and co-author) of several humorous books based mainly around his radio and television work and the sports of golf and cricket. He also took part in the Pro-Celebrity Golf television series (opposite Bruce Forsyth).
Brooke-Taylor appeared on the premiere episode of the BBC golf-based game show Full Swing.
