I think that's a bit unfair, Sarah. You've got a very good face and your
saw-playing was easily the best thing in last year's Cheltenham cabaret.

Hello Andrea
Sorry to hear that you have problems sifting job applications for the
BBC without some kind of visual aide memoire. I hear lots of other
companies manage it. Somehow they are able to juggle names and judge
quality without a mugshot.
Thanks for passing on the web address though - it made us laugh out
loud in the lab! Why not be honest and admit you're interested in the
way a person looks, rather than the way they handle a screwdriver?
It's quite all right to say so. Decorative, grinning presenters are
perfectly fine and watchable. It's just that in sending out your
advert, you might be missing a trick. There might be someone who
doesn't shine in a passport photo who might be more entertaining than
the usual fare that clogs up our screens these days. They might even
have something original to say.
Sarah
(blonde, trim, 5ft3in with a good face for radio, in case it helps
you remember)
