For all you big Moira Stuart fans, she is returning to our screens to narrate a documentary for Channel 4 on ageism, this Monday.

Quote:
Former BBC newsreader Moira Stuart is to narrate a Channel 4 documentary on ageism nearly two years after leaving the corporation amid claims she was a victim of it.

Stuart, 59, will voice Monday's Dispatches programme, called Too Old to Work, which will look at ageism in the jobs market.

It is her first major broadcasting job since the BBC confirmed in October 2007 that she would not return to its newsreading ranks. She left her job as the newsreader on Andrew Marr's Sunday morning show in March 2007.

Moira Stuart was always just an average newsreader with a monotone delivery - she was only really useful to the BBC because she was always prepared to do the Christmas Day shift when no-one else would.
Rightly jettisoned as deadwood.

lets be honest its still a strange world, a woman past 30 is bad for the new yet you can still men in the 70's reading it!

Great news. Moira Stuart is one of the TV faces who you should see quite frequently. Currently, Natasha Kraplinsky and her Kraplinsky-clones e.g. Emily Maitlis are on TV no doubt for their 'sexiness' that they bring. They are not sexy.
As is the case with Moira, TV executives should not do away with older faces. Television is not only watched by the 16-34 demographic. I am in that demographic and would rather see someone like Moira than Kate Silverton. Kate, one of the many reasons why I no longer watch BBC News.
