About The Old Woman

"The venerable entity who is known only to the world as Old Woman can regularly be heard sharing her wisdom and ancient knowledge on a vast range of modern issues."

Who is The Old Woman? Many have asked but the answer is lost in the mists of time. Details of her birth are shrouded in mystery - what is known is that she has embarked on a lifetime of study and contemplation, embracing a broad scope of social study such as knitting, bingo, boiled sweets and 'Friday Night Is Music Night' on her favourite radio station.

Now her teachings - on subjects such as the UK garage scene, WAP phones and go-ped scooters - are available to millions of eager Radio 2 disciples who know her to be a 'hip operator'.

The venerable entity who is known only to the world as Old Woman can regularly be heard sharing her wisdom and ancient knowledge on a vast range of modern issues every week on 'Steve Wright in the Afternoon'.
