Watchdog

Does anybody know where Julia Bradbury has gone from Watchdog? Does it have anything to do with the problems with her air miles, or has she moved on 2 something else? TIA

Yes, you're right - she's taking time out until the air miles matter is resolved.

Read in the paper yesterday that she has now left the programme over the air miles thing, but I can't for the life of me remember who her replacement is!

[ummmm]

What's the air miles thing. I haven't read anything about it.

[paraffin]

Her replacement is Anita Rani (Radio 4??)

ummmmmmm - The air miles business is something to the effect that there's an ongoing inquiry into all sorts of people who may (or may not) have abused the air miles privileges (I don't know the full details), and Julia B and her sister are apparently two of those being investigated.
As a result, she has withdrawn from Dog Watch until the matter has been resolved.
Hope this helps.

Thanks to you all for your answers. I turned on Mondays show and noticed she was missing. The new girl seemed to do a good job. Maybe with their new scenery and stuff they decided to update the presenters as well!!!!!!!

Pity, she's a bit of alright.
