I really rate Anita Anand. Understated, authentic, quick, likeable, intelligent and a voice to die for. She suggests her immaculate pronunciation owes something to a teacher at her primary school, Sister Francesca, who ordered her to stop dropping her vowels.

In 2012, Anita took over the Radio 4 Saturday lunchtime 'Any Answers' from Jonathan Dimbleby, who hosts Any Questions which precedes\\xa0 it. Her appointment was well-made.

This edition of Any Answers is atypical.\\xa0 It's the sort of programme or news bulletin most broadcasters have faced from time to time - one where anything technical which can go wrong - does. The only thing one can do is plough on and keep calm.\\xa0 \\xa0And Anita did - on this edition of a programme normally known for the military precision of each caller - and remained cool as cucumber.
