SEAN MURPHY
Sean Murphy reads the late news on British television at 11 o’clock each evening.
‘This is a good time for a news programme because we can report the early news from America and the late
news from Europe. I still arrive home before midnight because the journey from the Television Centre to my
home in north London only takes six minutes. My family are all asleep when I get in, but I usually make a
drink of hot milk and read a book for about an hour.
‘I always get up to have breakfast with my three children before they catch the school bus. Then I take the
newspapers and go back to bed for a short time. Later on, I go for a swim — newsreaders spend too much
time sitting down I sometimes go running. I’ve done the London Marathon twice. That’s a race of over 40
kilometres. I finished each time, but I wasn’t among the first!
‘I start work after lunch at two o’clock, when I go to my office. The rest of the day is spent planning the
programme, but I always try to go home for an hour to see my children before they go to bed.’

0 The late news begins at 11 o’clock every evening. A
