The BBCs Ros Atkins is a raver!?

This is the guy who often does sober analysis of the latest breaking news. I just assume all news people on TV are incredibly serious and never get out of their grey suits.
I just never imagined him as a rave DJ! 😂
I know IABU, but it still tickled me.

Tbf the venue is just a pub with notions.

But yes, generally people are more than their jobs.

Yes! He even did a banging remix of the BBC news theme tune at one point.

I really admire him for his news analysis.

I think people regarding news people as one dimensional is a common thing. I remember when Kathy Clugston , who I only knew as a contintinuiy announcer on radio 4, branched out into actually presenting programmes - Gardner's Question Time springs to mind- I think one of her reasons in wanting to do this was because she knew she had many talents but other people had no idea.

I went to a talk he did, ostensibly about writing / communication but also about his life and experiences. He’s a very interesting man. Recommend his book the Art of Explainaton

I think I've heard that - it was done by him?!
It most certainly is banging
