Calm UK Press Review - 6th January 2026

Christmas Preparations 

I talk about Marie Collett, a distinctive voice from 1980s British independent radio, best known for delivering British Airways travel news on LBC and other ILR stations.

I discuss her accent, vocal style, and on-air authority, and how radio in the 1980s framed women’s voices — particularly those associated with aviation, travel, and reassurance. Marie Collett’s delivery reflected a very specific era of British broadcasting, when accent, tone, and perceived credibility were carefully curated.

This clip looks at:

Marie Collett’s role on LBC and independent local radio

The British Airways travel news format

Accent, gender, and authority in 1980s broadcasting

How women’s voices were framed in radio news and continuity

Why these voices still stand out today

This is a reflective piece about media history, radio culture, and voice, not speculation — placing Marie Collett within the broader soundscape of 1980s Britain.

In this short reflective video, I take a simple McGills bus journey service number 26 to Braehead shopping centre and walk through the shops, quietly observing what Christmas looks and feels like today. Instead of focusing on buying or rushing, I look for signs of meaning, kindness, reflection, and something deeper behind the season.

This isn’t a review of shops or a vlog about spending money. It’s a slow, observational walk through everyday spaces, asking gentle questions about what Christmas has become — and where its meaning might still be found.

A calm, reflective video for anyone who feels a little detached from the noise of Christmas but still senses there’s something important underneath it all.
