ONE of the best presenters on British television, Julia Bradbury manages to be authoritative and warm, funny but not fluffy. Whether it’s wandering fells and craggy horizons on BBC Four / BBC Two’s Wainwright Walks or perched on a desk on BBC One’s Watchdog, Julia is capable and charming. Judging from her guide to Berlin – in Rough Guide to Cities that also covered Rio and Jerusalem – she also knows some right dirty jokes and could probably drink you under the table.

In November and December Julia presented BBC One’s That's Britain! alongside co-presenter Nick Knowles – a show focusing on the good, the bad and the ugly in Britain.

Julia presented a BBC Three’s
Kill It, Cut It, Use it on how animal products are used outside of the meat trade. Broadcast in June 2011, it was a follow-on to Kill It, Cook It, Eat It which Julia presented (series II and III) in 2008 and 2009 respectively.

Kicking-off Julia’s walking programmes was Wainwright Walks – a stunning BBC Four series shot in the Lake District and broadcast in 2007. Julia walked in the footsteps of the famous fell-walker and guide writer Alfred Wainwright. A third series entitled Wainwright Walks: Coast to Coast was aired on BBC Four in 2009.


Other walking programmes followed in 2008 with Railway Walks – a BBC Four and BBC Two series and ratings sensation when Julia proved to be even more popular on BBC Two than Nigella!

Julia embarked on a truly grand adventure across South Africa and the appropriately named South Africa Walks aired on BBC Four in April 2010.
