Jan Leeming's story returns to Bristol as she takes a job with HTV, presenting a 'new programme for women' - Women Only - to go out twice a week and the local evening news programme Report West.
"... in the 1970s, the jobs were all held by men. In fact, I think HTV was one of the first companies to have a female boom operator. She was a tiny dot of a girl called Patty, who had worked her way up from the HTV post room and was justifiably proud of making it into a job traditionally held by a man."
With Women Only a success, drawing top guests, and syndicated to other regions, Jan settles into life in Bristol where she meets her second husband Jeremy Gilchrist, "He spoke beautifully, with none of the mannerisms of a public schoolboy but all the clarity of diction that I love. In terms of colour, his voice would be golden brown and sexy. He also had beautiful eyes and lovely hair. The rest of him was pretty damned perfect as well!"
