このコンテンツについて
Jan becomes a firm favourite of TV viewers with viewing figures for the Sunday evening News being watched by over 14 million people. Following the breakdown of her marriage she begins to see Eric Steenson and tells of some of the events she was invited to:
"I remember most when Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sarah Brightman put in an appearance. They arrived by helicopter and instead of being driven from the field... someone had organised a 'bridge' across the small stream so they could walk directly into the grounds. Sarah trotted across very daintily but Andrew slipped and fell with both legs straddling the plank. Ouch! Remembering his rudeness to me I'm ashamed to say I smiled broadly. But then so did a lot of other people! Sarah was lovely."
A change of agents ahead of a BBC Newsroom reshuffle does nothing to help her position and despite still topping polls she is given a shorter contract and told "the BBC would prefer it if I made no waves and that if I didn't 'there would be other work' for me."
She recounts her memories of colleagues and friends, (as well as journalists) Richard Baker, Paul Daniels, Anne Robinson, Esther Rantzen, Sue Lawley, Selina Scott, Robert Lindsay, Emma Thompson, Russell Harty among them.
