Sally
James comes home to the Midlands
Ex-Tiswas favourite
Sally James is returning to the West Midlands next month to present
a weekly afternoon programme on BBC WM.
Despite
her successful television career, Sally stepped out of the limelight
while her children were growing up but now they are older she's
delighted to make a return to the media.
An
experienced TV and radio presenter, she is still something of a
cult figure due to her role on the Saturday morning favourite, Tiswas
- even though it came off air over 20 years ago.
"I
had so much fun on the programme, and even to this day I'm asked
who the 'phantom flan flinger' is, but my lips are still sealed!"
laughs Sally.
Sally's
no stranger to Pebble Mill either, after presenting talk show 6:55
Special on BBC TWO in the eighties, and is thrilled to be coming
back to join BBC WM:
"The
West Midlands really is my second home. I was so happy working here
for Tiswas that I feel I have an affinity with the area and the
people."
From
20 June, Sally will host a programme every Friday between 1.00 and
4.00pm, across all of BBC WM's frequencies.
Keith
Beech, Managing Editor, BBC WM, says: "I'm very excited about
signing Sally for BBC WM. She's
an extremely talented professional and we're delighted to have her
on board.
"Her
show, together with the introduction of Adrian Goldberg to our Breakfast
Show, means the station is going from strength to strength."
As
well as presenting, Sally can also turn her hand to acting, after
appearing in the successful television comedy The Grimleys, and
performing in many pantomimes, including a stint in Wolverhampton.
And,
as if this wasn't enough she's even been in the pop charts, with
The Bucket of Water Song.
Join
Sally James every Friday on BBC WM from 1.00 to 4.00pm.
BBC
WM broadcasts on 94.8, 95.6, 103.7 and 104FM.
