Janet Ellis

Ellis connects the imaginative puzzles of Jigsaw with the practical adventures of 1980s Blue Peter. Her acting experience gives a story or playful exchange an inviting shape, while her willingness to take on physical challenges keeps the presenter from seeming merely supervisory. Her parachuting work offers one memorable example. Revisit her for warmth with a sense of curiosity, and for the way a familiar face could move naturally between make-believe and discovering something real.
