He spent many months recuperating at his home. According to an Associated Press interview posted on CNN.com on February 17, 2007, Curry considered suicide after waking from a three-day, medically-induced coma, reportedly hoarding pain medication.

In 1984, he hosted _Screen Test, a popular half-hour series on Children's BBC, which was filmed in Manchester. The programme had two teams of 12- to 15-year old school pupils - representing schools from England, Scotland and Wales - to watch short clips from live action and animated movies. The object of the game was to score points, by answering questions from the clips they had just seen. The programme also featured a Young Film Maker's competition, in which films (submitted by contestants below the age of 16) were usually filmed on Super 8 mm film, and those who had films broadcast were awarded with a Certificate Of Merit.
In 1985, Curry presented the BBC's Saturday Morning Picture Show with Maggie Philbin. Then, on 23 June 1986, he joined the children's television programme Blue Peter. In his time on the show, he did such things as being strapped to the wheels of a revolving windmill and accidentally knocking the head off a man made of Lego. He left on 26 June 1989.
In 1998, Curry presented a DIY show called Change That and also presented the final series of the popular quiz show, Catchphrase in 2002. More recently, he has been a presenter on the now defunct TV Travel Shop channel on Sky Digital and appeared in pantomime in Horsham, Sussex in December 2006.
