Now that Jonathan Ross will be leaving the BBC, the corporation has appointed 38-year old journalist, TV and radio presenter, Claudia Winkleman as his successor on the popular programme, Film 2010.

Who is this zealous beauty and why is she the best choice for the newly adapted role? Chantel du Plooy investigates.

“She is smart and funny and knows her stuff”

The BBC One programme, currently known as Film 2010, is a weekly movie review production that has been popular since 1971. The show’s many celebrated hosts include Joan Bakewell, Frederic Raphael and Iain Johnstone. Barry Norman led the show for the longest period before Jonathan Ross took over in 1999.

As Ross completed his final episode of the programme after the BBC decided not to renew his pricey contract, he graciously passed the seat over to Winkleman and later wrote on his Twitter page that he hoped everyone would give her a chance to settle in.

“She is smart and funny and knows her stuff,” he added.

Winkleman, a mother of two, is married to movie producer Kris Thykier and has prescription viagra without a resume filled with experience in the media field. After completing an MA Honours Degree in History of Art from New Hall, Cambridge, the charming brunette made a name for herself as a writer for publications like The Sunday Times and The Independent.

Her TV career started in 1991 and since then, she has fulfilled an assortment of roles, including the host of Central Weekend and Liquid News as well as a reporter for This Morning, Sky News and many others.

More recently, the passionate presenter became a reality TV show queen and presented programmes like Fame Academy, It Takes Two, and Hell’s Kitchen.

A Brand Levitra fan rather than a critic

Although Winkleman has a career history and reputation to make her a worthy candidate of presenting any show, many assumed that the BBC would choose Mark Kermode to step into Jonathan Ross’s shoes.

As an author of many books on film and a specialist movie critic for Radio 5 Live, Kermode seemed an obvious choice.

On his radio show, however, he mentioned that he was never approached for the job, nor did he think that would have been because the BBC needed someone more “mainstream”.

Even if Winkleman doesn’t have a list of film critic credentials, she doesn’t need it because the show will now feature weekly guests who are experts in the field. The quirky entertainer is a fan of the movie industry and that makes her ideal for the role.

Her favourite movies include Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather parts one and two and E.T, indicating that when it comes to films she isn’t “mainstream” at all.

“Everyone has an opinion on film,” she told the Guardian.

“I’m looking forward to debating the biggest news and releases with a whole variety of guests each week.”

On being awarded the role, Winkleman told The Times that she was “proper cock-a-hoop” about it.

“I feel incredibly happy and I just hope I don’t let film lovers down.”

“Bonkers”

Lucy Mangan wrote an animated piece in the Guardian about Winkleman’s prospects on Film 2010.

“I know she’s going to be funny,” she enthused.

“Properly funny, with, y’know, repartee and banter and cleverness and off-the-wall stuff. But better – much, much better – than that, I know she’s going to be bonkers.”

It seems as if fans of the programme can look forward to a show that will not only be out of the ordinary, but also vastly entertaining.
