Anyway, this is what it says about Sarah...
Sarah Mary Kennedy MBE is a British broadcaster, born in 1950. She began her career at BBC Radio 2 in the 1970s, and then became famous as the host of Game For A Laugh on ITV for several years from 1981. Other television work included the short-lived BBC current affairs programme Sixty Minutes and the ITV game show Busman's Holiday. As her TV career declined, she returned to Radio 2, where she has hosted the weekday early morning show since 1993. She is widely unpopular with the station's younger listeners, who perceive her as a throwback to an earlier age of Radio 2, but she still has her fans, among whom she is known as "Bunty Bagshaw" (an allusion to the Joyce Grenfell or Arthur Marshall type of jolly-hockey-sticks girls' boarding school character).
In the Queens Birthday honours 2005, she was awarded the MBE for services to broadcasting.
Sarah Kennedy MBE is one of the few female presenters to have her own daily show on UK national radio.
Her 'Much Beloved' husband is a popular character in the show thanks largely to his hilariously inept gambling problem.
