Her projects run the gamut from current affairs to movies and the arts. She also currently presents the Radio 2 arts show, The Green Room and The Culture Show on BBC2.
As a journalist she is currently the film critic for Harpers And Queen and has a weekly dilemma column in The Observer Magazine, while her book reviews and travel pieces appear regularly in the press.
