[edit] JAM

When was she on JAM? Pliny 20:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• I think she asked a question on Just a Minute in some anniversary show. I don't think she was a pannellist. Can anyone confirm?Tony Corsini 23:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah, she was a guest subject setter. Here is the transcript --Antster1983 21:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conservative?

Where is the evidence that she is a "British conservative"? And, indeed, what does that phrase mean in this context? Her talk about Radio 4 being defined by the values and criteria of "the rock'n'roll generation" would have outraged the more conservative-minded of its listeners, but maybe she is right-wing only in the diluted Thatcherite sense?

• Yes you are right. Although I have not met her personally, Helen Boaden's sister is a good friend of mine and she can confirm that in no way should she be in such a category with Thatcher! I have removed the categorisation. Tony Corsini 12:21, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
