Laughter echoed through the air when Sam Fraser, well known BBC South presenter took to the stage at Applemore College. She was introduced by her equally talented son, eo, who warmed the crowd with his witty observations of living with a celebrity for a mother. Sam enthralled and entertained everyone with her hilarious anecdotes showcasing key moments in her career and amusing experiences on radio and television. A er the interval eo “interviewed” his mother inviting her to describe how her career began and how it developed over the years. She concluded with many humorous examples highlighting the unexpected price of fame she had experienced as a weather presenter on the television - some too risqué to mention here. Sam Fraser at Applemore College Sam’s career is an interesting and amusing story and one that is an inspiration to young people venturing out into the world today. Her sense of fun and selfdeprecating manner captivated the audience. But most of all, it was her relaxed sense of humour that entertained and made everyone laugh - that is indeed an extraordinary talent. Special mention must be made of the canapés served during the interval resulting in many of the audience asking where they came from and requesting the recipes!
