Judith Hann

Hann's father was the former Derby County footballer and trainer Ralph Hann.^[1]

Hann attended the University of Durham, where she edited Palatinate, the university newspaper, for two terms in 1963.^[2]

Hann presented Tomorrow's World on BBC Television between 1974 and 1994, making her the programme's longest-serving presenter. She has since made television guest appearances, and also some TV commercials. In 1997, she appeared in a Shredded Wheat advertisement, in which she used her scientific judgement to inform viewers that the product could possibly help keep their hearts healthy. In 2006, she presented Two's A Crowd, a series on BBC Radio 4 that searched for the secrets of human identity.^[3] She runs her own media training and presentation skills company.

Hann lives on a farm near the small town of Lechlade, Gloucestershire, in the Cotswolds. She has written a book and taught courses about herbs, and grows many varieties of them in her garden.^[4][5]

Hann was married to John Exelby, a former executive at BBC News, who died in November 2019; they had two sons.
