I'm surprised she was never picked up by one of the BBC locals or maybe she decided she'd had enough of radio.

When she started on Early Breakfast or Dawn Patrol in the 1990's when Terry Wogan rejoined BBC Radio 2 was she given her own personal jingle played it a few times then thought I cannot be bothered playing this. I remember the many times Alex Lester used to do his own show and then cover her show because she was sick. On one occasion he came out of the 06.00 news played his jingle and then said oh a jingle played after the news Sarah must not be here. |

Didn't she have drink problems, and the word went round she was 'unreliable'?

I know someone who used to have to pay her a yearly visit at her home to provide a professional service and even first thing in the morning it would not be unusual for her to open the door clutching a glass of wine. Sad really. |

Well she is 66 so she might be quite happy retired. The Radio Two gig can't have been that badly paid and she did it for enough years to have possibly accumulated a nice little pension.

Apart from her neverending cold, she only had two channels of conversation though.
Foxes banging in her garden. Roger Royle and his BBQ skills. |

If she had a drink problem- wouldn't the BBC have let her go way before she left?
Unless she drank not long after her show finished then managed to just sleep after that to get up really early through the night to do her show? Or is just really bad gossip that she had a drink problem? |

Rumors can be unfounded, unpleasant and damaging to peoples' careers, regardless of the industry you work in. In broadcasting, public perception is even more important.

I miss Sarah. Her show was truly bonkers. Songs could be interrupted at any time by a recording of a cat miaowing repeatedly. That one always upset my own cats. Her favourite topics seemed to run for years. I hope Sarah is enjoying a fun retirement.

The suggestion she liked a drink came from colleagues-

She drank.... She didn't drink? Hardly matters drunk or sober she was a better listen than phelps. Sarah followed by terry and Ken were the golden era of mornings on R2.
