BBC Wales Today, 1985.

 Beverley Thompson

Beverley first appeared with BBC Wales in the mid 1980's, reading the short bulletins, although appearances on Wales Today were not uncommon. Her career then took her to Points West in Bristol in 1988.

This move was followed by a trip to Look North in Newcastle by the early 1990's. Beverley then moved to BBC South Today in Southampton where she stayed until 2001.

Beverley is now the health corespondent for the new BBC South East Today programme based in Tunbridge Wells.

Out of interest, could Beverley have the same outfit on in the Look North and South Today stills 7 years on?

I think Beverley is aiming for the record as presenter of the most Regional News programmes!

Of course Kevin Owen is catching up quickly!
