Selina Scott is getting up early again next week, deputising for Moira Stuart reading news on Chris Evans' Radio 2 show. She's been reminiscing with the Telegraph about the last time she set the alarm at an ungodly hour.
"I haven't done that since I launched the BBC Breakfast show more than 25 years ago and it wasn't much fun then. I used to grab a few hours' sleep before I was in front of the cameras again. In those days, Mark Thompson, [the director-general of the BBC] was a trainee who used to go to the canteen to get my cornflakes".
Mark's official BBC biography remembers things differently. "Mark joined the BBC in 1979 as a production trainee. He helped launch Watchdog in 1981 and Breakfast Time in 1983, before becoming an output editor on Newsnight in 1985."
