  After studying Computer Science at Cambridge University for three years, Spencer decided to throw it all away and present a breakfast radio show, which he hosted for 7 years. While there, he performed a 12,000 feet skydive, drove a tank, stunt-rode a motorcycle and broke a world record (not all in the same day).
  
  He joined the BBC in 2003 as an interactive presenter, before becoming a reporter for Click. He became the main Click presenter at the end of 2005. During his time on the programme, he's reported from many locations, including remote villages in India, the Great Wall of China, Las Vegas and South Korea. Most recently, he has investigated the highly organised business of cybercrime in Russia, and demonstrated the power of botnets - thousands of compromised computers all controlled remotely by anonymous hackers somewhere else in the world.
