    A real TV treasure! hide show

    Although she started off on children's TV, Philippa has, in recent years, joined fellow former Tomorrow's World presenter Kate Humble as one of British TV's leading advocates for all things animal and environmental. Her enthusiasm for the subject always makes her shows engrossing, and it's clear that she really does care passionately for the subjects she covers. Despite this, she seems cursed by the fact that, in many people's minds, she'll always be the leather-trousered pit reporter on Robot Wars. Now she has three young children to look after, her appearances have become a lot less frequent, and that's a shame, because she's one of the best factual presenters on British TV at the moment.
