My Take
Martel Maxwell earns my respect for doing two genuinely different jobs well. As a presenter on Homes Under the Hammer since 2017 and a newspaper columnist for Dundee's Evening Telegraph, she straddles live broadcasting and considered prose, two skills that rarely sit comfortably in one person. Television rewards quick instinct; column writing rewards slow, careful judgment. Bridging both, as this Edinburgh-educated Scot born in 1977 does, takes a flexible and disciplined mind. I tend to trust communicators who can think on their feet yet also weigh their words on the page, and she clearly belongs in that category.
