Bettany Hughes is it just me?

I don’t think it’s the clothes to be honest. Eg I love Janina Ramirez’s programmes even when she’s in her goth gear and sometimes strides along cobbled streets wearing huge platform boots!

I’m glad it’s not just me, actually she wasn’t actually showing lots of cleavage as she also had a scarf covering herself. It was her choice of thick denim and boots in a hot climate.

I love her programmes and I'm not into history at all...never really watch anything else about history........she is so enthusiastic about the places she visits...its infectious.....she's a bit different but so what

Gransnet please get rid of these pop-ups. Just had an ad for BBC iPlayer in my face whilst reading this

tanith I mentioned this a while ago. While I find her programmes interesting I do feel her choice of clothing a bit inappropriate for the places she visits.

I’m interested in the subject matter of her programmes but don’t watch them because I can’t stand the expanse of cleavage which is always on show. Time and place. I prefer other serious historians who don’t feel the need to advertise their assets - Suzannah Lipscombe and Tracey Borman for instance.

I think she's fabulous. I'd love to be like her.

I love Bettany Hughes .She has a nice soft easy to listen to voice and her programmes are interesting .
But I have wondered what the Egyptian
workers really think of her rather overwhelming busty substances threatening to burst out from her clothes !

I've never warmed to her either although I would normally enjoy watching the sort of programmes she presents..... preferably without seeing her bosom thrust at the camera smile

I think there was a recent thread about her showing a lot of cleavage blush. I love the sort of programmes that she makes but, unlike most of the people that make such programmes, I’ve never warmed to her and tend to give her programmes a miss. I never get drawn into them.

I have wondered why this lady wears boots in hot weather in hot climates. I could find no info on Google about Bettany and boots. I have come to the conclusion she wears boots to ward off snake bites or scorpion stings.

I’ve just had a deja vu moment, we might of discussed this before if so ignore me 🫣

Just dipping and out of her Treasures of the World and why does she always wear clothes that are so unsuitable for climbing around ancient ruins. A long fitted thick denim dress with a cardigan and soft boots surely a loose cotton dress or cotton trousers and loose shirt are what’s called for I don’t get it. She looks hot and uncomfortable trying to clamber around.
So is it me?
