.... Sorry, I've tried for two days, but I can't for the life of me picture Natasha Kaplinsky without picturing "every other damn episode of My Hero"

Sophie is on the right-hand side in the red jumpsuit. With her are Fiona Bruce in yellow (who also presents the Antiques Roadshow which this week had record viewing when it valued a statue at £1m), and Susanna Reid in orange who was herself a late replacement for Kate Silverton. Between them they are sometime presenters of the Six O'Clock, Ten O'Clock and Breakfast news programmes. But the workload is spread around quite a lot. Four national news bulletins a day on BBC1 plus Newsnight on BBC2 and 24 hour news channel means that there are always plenty of news readers/anchors to go around! Check out the 2002 performance which featured the then roster of readers performing to the Rocky Horror Picture Show... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IpftNTypWFM Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
