Since rising to the challenge of temporarily filling the vacant 'hot seat' on the station's Morning Show Philippa has been eager to get back into radio presenting.
Ìý
Philippa says: "Presenting the Morning Show on Radio Bristol was the first time I'd ever done live radio and I loved it!
Ìý
"I guess I must have done something right as I've been offered the chance to have my very own slot every Saturday.
Ìý
"Working the high tech controls is still a bit beyond me but I'm a fast learner and, frankly, having worked on Tomorrow's World for so long I don't really have an excuse about that sort of thing, do I?"
Ìý
Philippa is best known for her television work having presented Tomorrow's World, Heaven and Earth, Crufts, Robot Wars and a whole host of other programmes.

She adds: "What I'm really looking forward to is the amazing closeness and immediate interaction the presenter gets with the public on radio.
Ìý
"Once the calls, texts and emails start coming in I know I could be discussing almost any subject under the sun!"
Ìý
Radio Bristol Managing Editor, Jenny Lacey, says: "It's marvellous to have Philippa back with us.
Ìý
"She was brilliant on the Morning Show and I'm delighted that a presenter of her calibre is so keen to further her experience of radio with us."
