Default Nice empty tube

Sophie Raworth, the newsreader, is a keen runner, and often
commutes to the
BBC that way. During the lockdown, she's been varying her six
mile route
to pass through unusually empty areas at lunchtime, and has been taking
photos:

It's nice when you've got a well-paid part-time job and have the luxury
of being able to do that kind of thing.

Part-time job? She arrives at lunchtime and does the Six and Ten.


Only a few days a week. And she doesn't do the Ten O'clock every time
she's on the Six O'clock.

Not many people have a home within six miles of Oxford Circus, or can
afford the time to jog back and forth six miles anywhere. And of course
she'll have a dressing room to change


don't all TV presenters have facilities to get washed, changed, made up
before they go on air

regardless of how they have arrived at the studio?

Isn't it just part of the job?


Yes, and he fact almost nobody else does, means how unsuitable her daily
schedule is as a role model for the rest of us.
