[expand title=”In detail”] Katherine Bellingham did not set out to become a TV presenter. She was ‘spotted’ whilst working for the BBC as an electronics engineer and invited to audition for a Schools TV programme, Techno. Beginning her TV career, her engineering background, along with a degree in physics from Oxford University and experience as a computer programmer, came in useful during her four years as a presenter on Tomorrow’s World. She went on to present her own weekly programme on Radio 5 Live, The Big Bang on Children’s ITV and other programmes for the Open University, BBC Schools and Channel 5. Subsequent broadcasts included a seven-part science series for the Open University, an engineering series for the BBC2 Learning Zone, and Testing Times, a series for Radio 4 about the challenges faced on major engineering projects.[/expand]
