When I was at Anglia TV about 25 yrs ago, a girl in our office sent out a team email that said, “It’s been a crap Monday, who wants to come to my flat for a smoke?” Sadly she sent it to everyone in ITV. Melvyn was one of the first to reply with “That sounds lovely but sadly I’m filming in Newcastle”
Melvyn Bragg has decided to stand down as host of In Our Time, the BBC says.

While I love the stats too, you also have to deliver the goods. And she did. Absolute quality, no nonsense penalty.
