    Couldn't believe it when they said she was 72...she was like a teenager in those TV clips of Bosco back in the day....

    Its nearly 40 years since new episodes of Bosco were produced and she was among the very early presenters when it started in 1979. I'm just about old enough to remember SBB which ran in the late 70s/early 80s, she co-presented with Sean Ban B. Think she must have moved on from tv after Bosco as cant recall her in anything from circa mid 80s on (bar Bosco repeats). Seemed like a nice person and its sad that she's died at a relatively young age

    She was an excellent articulate presenter. Suprised she did very little in TV after SBB ina Shui.

    She's in this RTE clip which covers aerobics classes but the uploader doesn't identify the programme, anyone know what it was? Don't think it was Anois Is Aris and SBB had finished the previous year.
