In 1977, Combe migrated to England where he became a presenter on "Music Time", a BBC TV educational program. He explained that "Someone in Adelaide had given me the name of a BBC producer. I rang and said I had just arrived England and do you have any shows I can audition for. They wanted someone for "Music Time", I auditioned, made the short list and got the job." Combe and co-presenter, Kathryn Harries, introduced musical concepts in an entertaining format. The show was used by teachers as part of their music programs and was a resource for other music educators. Besides being played in Britain for six years, it was re-broadcast on ABC TV. In late 1979, the Combe family moved back to Australia, where he presented "Let's Have Music", an Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio program, which was used for primary school music education.
