Jan Leeming continues the reading of her 2003 Autobiography 'Addicted to Love'.  Sent out with a Uher (the old recording machines reporters used to record interviews) settles into life as a News Reporter at BBC Plymouth before an opportunity to host a new scientific programme for children - Tom Tom - arises.

"I remember the audition quite well.  You were put on the spot by having to talk knowledgeably about a scientific object that had only been cursorily explained to you.  Then there was one minute describing a strange blob of black wood with a hole in it and suggestions as to what it might possibly be.  This was followed by a two-minute talk on a subject of your choice, with no chance to write any notes.  I went into full flow about my meeting with the opal miner in the outback of Australia."

A chance road accident derails her career once more, but then comes a call from HTV with an idea for a groundbreaking TV series.
