Fiona Bruce Career
She co-hosted Crimewatch for eight years and regularly presents both BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten. Fiona has been a BBC journalist since 1990. She began her career as a researcher on Panorama and quickly advanced to become a reporter on prime-time current affairs shows such as Newsnight and Panorama. She hosted and reported on her own investigative current affairs series, Real Story, for four years, winning five Royal Television Society awards.
Fiona became the BBC’s first female general election studio presenter in 2001, and she has won three Television and Radio Industry Club Newscaster of the Year awards. Fiona has also co-presented a number of BBC arts documentaries, most recently Fake or Fortune? for BBC One, which she co-presents with Philip Mould. Fiona became a presenter on the Antiques Roadshow in 2008. One of her favorite aspects of working on the Roadshow is that she never knows what she’ll find or what she’ll be filming that day.
Fiona’s typical Roadshow day begins with a brief press conference for the local media. She then gets to work figuring out what’s been discovered and talking to visitors about what they’ve brought with them. When she isn’t filming, she works at the reception desk, where we get our first glimpse of what has been brought in. Fiona’s most memorable (and unusual) Roadshow find is a desiccated caul – it’s a foetal membrane that was once quite valuable, and it was even thought to protect the owner from drowning.
