It's absolutely fine to think of new ways of doing things, and I'm not just asking for the traditional reporter to look into our living rooms night after night. Jonathan Dimbleby absolutelyfinelive Change image and share on social
I was born with a silver microphone in my mouth, and that was an advantage. My father wrote books and was also a great broadcaster. Jonathan Dimbleby advantagebearbook Change image and share on social
