From Childline to changing TV for ever: Esther Rantzen’s revolutionary life - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Esther Rantzen’s early CV reads like a chronicle of the world working as the 1960s thought it should. A smart young woman, privately educated in north London from the age of 10 (the Rantzens had previously lived in New York), then at Somerville College, Oxford, she started on the bottom rung and had exactly the right mixture of graft and luck. Having trained as a radio studio manager, she got her first TV production job as a researcher for BBC-3, Ned Sherrin’s satirical show in the mid-60s. From

That figure is unsurprising if you’ve been concentrating at all – the calculation was made in 2024 – but at the same time completely staggering.

Older men and younger women were once an unremarkable screen pairing.
