How can you have never seen her before? She's been virtually ubiquitous on
the BBC for about 5 years.

"Springwatch, Lambing Live, Countryfile" - I've not watched any of those.

And, er, one or two others:

Many are scientific and quite a few live, so I guess she was a suitable
last-minute replacement for the presumably better-prepped Dan Snow. But I
notice she's getting better with each edition, and is now noticeably less
excited by every factoid. I think the other presenters had weeks of prep
and pre-recording their segments, so she's not done badly to have to handle
much of the live work with no background in this area and little prep.
