Talk:Anna Ford

Newscaster
Surely Anna is a newscaster rather than a television presenter. -- Mariocki 00:33, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I find this sentence very confusing:

On 17 December 2001 she was installed as its Chancellor, when the Victoria University of Manchester merged with UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology) on 1 October 2004 to create the new University of Manchester.

...so in 2001 something happened that actually didn't happen until 2004? Someone please clarify or remove this.Palefire 22:42, 30 October 2005 (UTC).

The above error has been corrected now.

Dodgy record info
, but in 1983 her duet with Noddy Holder, a cover version of the Shakin' Stevens hit "You Drive Me Crazy", reached number 37 in the UK pop charts.

This is denied by Noddy Holder, who was specifically reviewing his entry. As this record does not appear in the UK charts, there appears to be corroboration for this denial. Spenny 20:44, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Christie's in Ballyclare ?
I've added a fact tag to the statement from 1970-2, she was a lecturer in Christie's Fine Art department in Ballyclare

According to Google, Christie's Ireland representative in the 1980s and 1990s, Danny Kinahan, was and is based at Castle Upton near Ballyclare. But (at least as of 2009), as far as I know Christie's Education is focused entirely in London and New York.

So the statement could use some clarification to verify exactly what sort of lectures Anna Ford would have been giving (especially as from the bio so far she doesn't appear to have had any background in fine art, at least not at degree level).

The material was added as part of this diff in 2007. Jheald (talk) 11:23, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Not the first
Surely ITN employed women newscasters from its beginning? Barbara Mandell would seem to be therefore the first newscaster. Mkjoneswiki (talk) 10:41, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
