Biography
The much-misspelt Philippa Forrester started out at Birmingham University's in-house television station, and was first seen on national TV as a linkwoman on Children's BBC, providing holiday cover for Andi Peters. She was parachuted in to take the helm of Tomorrow's World after the failed relaunch in the mid-90s, and later presented the it's-not-really-the-god-slot-oh-wait-yes-it-is Sunday morning programme The Heaven and Earth Show. Latterly she's fronted a major advertising campaign about how we're all going to die in agony unless we spend lots of money in a certain high-street pharmacy chain... and a local programme on Meridian about forests.
