The BBC has lost a lot of excellent journalists in recent years, but this lady might be the biggest loss. I remember her presenting Newsnight. And she was a big part of their General Election coverage. Probably best known as the woman who did that infamous interview with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as he is now.
