\u201cI do get quite nervous when I\u2019m broadcasting sometimes. I can\u2019t work out why. But this time, I was very calm and not nervous at all, I think because I was really focused on getting it right. Also I had [royal correspondent] Nicholas Witchell with me in the studio, and he\u2019s the best in the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was 30 seconds of air time. And we all knew the announcement had to be right. With the right tone, the right demeanour, everything. You desperately want to get it right and not let anyone down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiona Bruce recalled her first day in the BBC in 1989, explaining how nervous she was: \u201cI started as a researcher on Panorama in Shepherd\u2019s Bush. There was a courtyard with drainpipes with these excrescences, some kind of foam, extruding from the building. Absolutely revolting! I\u2019d come from advertising, which was pretty shiny, and was astonished. But on my first day I thought, \u2018I\u2019ve had two career false starts [management consultancy and advertising], but this is it. This is what I want to do.’\u201d<\/p>

As for Claudia Winkleman, her memories of the BBC start very young: \u201cI was brought up on the BBC. And I couldn\u2019t have got through the pandemic without BBC Bitesize. So, on behalf of my children, thank you BBC, because I tried to explain Darwin and the theory of evolution and didn\u2019t do it very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Zoe Ball speaks about her early start on BBC Radio 2, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t know if you ever get used to [my 4am alarm]! We\u2019re trying different alarm sounds. This morning I tried bird song, but I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s going to work. It just lulls you back to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
