Just watching the Andrew Marr show. Apparently AA Gil of the Daily Mail has said that Mary Beard who presents the series if documentaries on the Romans is too unattractive for tv! Dear lord. There are plenty of unattractive male presenters who present programs because they are an authority on the subject, Simon schama it even Andrew Marr for instance. Sorry if this is old news but I was horrified and I couldn't see a thread about it.
Apparently Mary invited Gil to her university for a debate on the subject, but of course he declined, probably because as Andrew pointed out, he realises he is far less intelligent than her and would be shown up for the fool he really is!
