My Take
Katie Derham appeals to me as a particular kind of British broadcaster: a journalist with the discipline of hard news who also moves gracefully into the cultural and classical music world. Born in Canterbury in 1970 and educated at Magdalene College, she carries an unobtrusive intelligence that I find increasingly scarce on screen. The ability to anchor serious news and then host arts programming without losing credibility in either is a real skill. I value presenters who lift the audience's curiosity quietly rather than shouting for attention, and Derham strikes me as exactly that reassuring, well-read presence.
