"She shares her home with a very large English Mastiff and both of them have an enormous talent for breaking things, especially wine glasses."

Joanna's career began (further back in the mists of time than she cares to remember) in the hallowed halls of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radiophonic Workshop in Maida Vale where she's proud to have shared a corridor with the piano that made the Tardis noises (not all on its own, you understand) even if she was only typing letters and making the coffee at the time.
Being a contrary sort of person, she then decided to desert the bright lights of London and head for the flat Fens to work as a Production Assistant at Radio Cambridgeshire where she held the prestigious post of "What's on" person for a while before she got bored, grabbed a microphone one day and started broadcasting. She chatted up loads of actors on the afternoon show for about three years before leaving the bosom of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ to go it alone as a freelance in 1993.
Since then, she's worked extensively for Radio 4, as presenter of The Natural History Programme and also presents on Anglia TV where, for some bizarre reason, they decided she'd make a good "out-door-y"-sporty sort of a person - which she's not. This meant getting very wet and cold during the winter months, doing all sorts of things including a bracing December dip in the North Sea. She didn't complain too loudly, however, as she thoroughly enjoyed being rescued by those hunky men from the RNLI.
These days, when she's not snug and warm in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 7 office, she likes to re-live those fond memories by spending as much time as she can grovelling in freezing mud on archaeological sites. She shares her home with a very large English Mastiff and both of them have an enormous talent for breaking things, especially wine glasses.
