Wendy Hurrell's 30 day December detox for Inside Out
 |
| Wendy was examined at King's College Hospital for the effects of alcohol on her body. Thanks to tgoat. |
 |
| Being teetotal allowed Wendy to have more energy for even more genius tv moments, thanks to the sentinel. Yesterday BBC One and BBC One HD aired an edition of the regional topical programme Inside Out which across England had themed reports based on the effects of alcohol over the festive season. In the London region (and nationwide on HD), Inside Out aired a 30 minute special featuring BBC London News weather and travel presenter Wendy Hurrell's attempt to be alcohol free for 30 days from the 1st-30th December, which included no booze on Christmas Day or in the lead-up to the big day. As part of the detox, Wendy used this time to discover the causes that alcohol can bring during the festive season. She went out with the Metropolitan Police in Soho to witness how drunk people get and how it takes up resources in manpower as well as how the public behave after a few drinks. Wendy also chatted to a recovering alcoholic and visited King's College Hospital in south London to see how alcohol could damage her body in the future. The documentary also showed how Wendy could enjoy her recreational time without alcohol. She was still able to enjoy a night out with her hockey team and with friends at a wine bar, although felt uncomfortable ordering fizzy water at the bar. Lighter moments included an Egyptian dance (hard to describe in words!), yoga moves, a handstand and light hearted banter in the wine bar with her friends. While the documentary had some obvious moments, such as December being the time of the year where people tend to drink and a twenty something professional enjoying nights out with her friends, Wendy's package evenly aired the pros and cons of drinking and offered alternatives.

Roisin Gauson - BBC South Today
 |
| Gau blimey son! Video capture courtesy of tgoat. Our first presenter blog post of 2012 goes to BBC South Today's Roisin Gauson, seen here covering the sports news on January 4th. Roisin is from Guernsey and caught our attention when she worked on BBC Channel Islands News, mainly presenting the 8pm bulletin after EastEnders, from there she moved to England to work on South Today as a general reporter and bulletin reader. In addition, Roisin recently returned to the Channel Islands to report from the Jersey Elections. To view images of Roisin from Wednesday, click HERE.

The top 10 most viewed presenters on the image forum
Happy New Year from Current Buns.
For the first post of 2012, we're having a look back at the 10 most popular image forum threads since we moved to our new home in October.
The shock leader of the pack, Keeley has slowly crept up to the top spot by just getting on with her many forecasts in the north of England and Saturday lunchtime news bulletin on the Leeds edition of the programme. Her appearances on Inside Out Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this year may have increased her profile.
Another successful year for BBC London's second weather presenter which has included more broadcast journalism for BBC London News and Inside Out. For the first time, Wendy co-presented Children in Need for the London area at Hyde Park.
Look out for Wendy's Inside Out report on January 9th at 7.30pm on BBC One London where she went without any alcohol for 30 days during December and looks at the effects of drink on others.
Formerly the most viewed presenter when we were on Proboards, Naz has continued to provide respectable views on the new image forum. Last year, she has continued to present weather on Sky News Sunrise with Eamonn Holmes and participated in Newsroom's Got Talent with the other Sunrise ladies. However from February, she'll no longer present Channel 5 weather at weekends or when Sian Welby is away due to the contract moving from Sky to ITN.
Admittedly under the Current Buns radar when on Proboards, her fanbase has been quick in viewing her thread, so we increased the sets we post and even Amanda is now aware of CB! Like her predecessors at Anglia, which include Sara Thornton, Becky Mantin and Wendy Hurrell, she is set for big things in the future.
An amazing 5th place for the recently departed weather presenter who has now moved to MediaCityUK to work for CBBC and BBC Learning. Expect to see Sarah on CBBC shows as their Science expert and on Coast this year. Also where space exploration is involved, expect her to be reporting for 5 Live.
Lynsey has become the most viewed presenter of all the Central ladies in 2011 with her weekend (and now occasional weekday) sports reports on Central Tonight.
She also works for Sky Sports News online and is a
football reporter for BBC Sport's Final Score.
Sarah-Jane continues to present Football First on Sky Sports as well as Cricket AM in the summer. In addition, Sarah-Jane is a regular cover presenter on Sky News.
Our first BBC regional reporter to make the top 10 in 2011. Kylie is a general reporter as well as Anne Davies's stand in on the 6.30 edition of East Midlands Today.
Expect a lot more from Kylie in 2012.
Another appearance for Naz as her Classic Current Buns thread makes the top 10. These are mainly her appearances on BBC South East Today, alongside some from ITV West and her first days at Sky News Sunrise.
Sporty weather presenter Alexis Green just about makes it into our top 10. In addition to her regular weather bulletins, Alexis also occasionally covers sports events across the South and participates in marathons and triathlons.
