Maggie Philbin who she?
In her wiki it is said
"She is best remembered by many for her time on Tomorrow's World."
That is/was a long running example of the good things produced by the BEEB, being a weekly review of new inventions and ideas, hosted by a former Battle of Britain pilot, one-time Spitfire pilot Raymond Baxter and the ebullient James Burke, who I seem to remember presented the BBC's pre moon landing show in 1969
During that show as I have previously reported here in June at:-

"I also clearly remember the words utterred by the late great Frank Muir who was one of a number of pundits brought in by the BBC to entertain viewers if and when things were slack.
He opined "that nearly everything the Americans did was on a vast scale whereas what the British did was usually half-vast". very few in the studio audience got it. Just say that to yourself"
