Another Al

The latest attempt to enliven the weekend schedules of the BBC merged News Channel features Alastair Sooke going 'Inside Museums'. 

In a continuing battle to widen the range, diversity and socio-economic background of presenters, Al, 42, was a scholar at Westminster School, then a scholar at Christ Church Oxford, and moved through to an MA at the Courtauld Institute. At 14, he found time to play Kay Harker, in a BBC radio adaptation of The Box Of Delights, alongside a starry cast including Donald Sinden, Lionel Jeffries and Spike Milligan
