Croissant in the Jungle highlights

Rosie in the official bits of France which are not actually in the country we all know and love as France. This 2min clip sequence shows some of the highlights from our trip around the far flung French world, which we documented in six TV shows entitled Croissant in the Jungle. Get ready for a giant tarantula, a very dead iguana, lots of French people being French and some lovely Gallic musical noodling while dolphins play. There is also a very embarrassing shot of me doing some Polynesian dancing.

The Worlds Worst Bed & Breakfast

Quite simply, the PENSION HENRY on the paradisal Polynesian coral atoll of Rangiroa is one of the grimmest hostelries on the planet. Watch this and wonder how we didn’t all perish of sunstroke, heat rash or a broken limb caused by falling off the balcony. Where do I start? No glass in all bar one window. No air con. Zillions of flies. Hopeless kitchen with no cutlery. Balcony with no balustrade right onto rocky beach. Bathroom impossible to walk on thanks to razor-sharp corals festooning the floor. Redeeming view of ocean obscured by pine tree forest.

Children and Culture

Radio4 Woman's Hour
Children in galleries
Thursday 16 February 10.10 am BBC RADIO 4

A survey just out reveals that millions of children have never visited an art gallery, a theatre or a stage show. The research, which was commissioned by Visit Birmingham, covered 5-12 year olds, and suggests that four out of ten children have never seen the inside of an art gallery and 17 percent have never visited a museum with their parents. Is it a good idea to introduce your children to art and culture, or are gallery and museum visits with younger children a waste of time if they’re just not interested? And if you are keen to make sure your child knows their Monet from their Michelangelo – what’s the best way to go about it? Jenni Murray discusses with Jeanette Winterson and Rosie Millard.

BBC London
0750 Paper Review
Tuesday 27 December 2011 | BBC London

This is an example of the paper review I often do on BBC London at 0750 in the morning; it’s such a hoot, I run in, (this sounds more impressive than it is, it’s really not far) – sit down with the papers and a cup of tea, tell them what I think, then run home again and take the kids to school. 0830 am and I’ve already digested all the news! Perfect.
