	New Statesman: Amanda Platell - Anne Robinson - Brief Article
		And I would bet Anne Robinson's weekly expense allowance (circa 1990--Iam being paid by the New Statesman, after all) that there is not a single national paper that has even a third of its "war cabinet" -- the special desk that co-ordinates the reports -- made up of women journalists.
		Anne Robinson has become the Camilla Parker Bowles of Fleet Street.
		I know a lot of female journalists who respect Robinson and envy her pay packet, but few who either like or want to be like her, which is a shame, really, because we all owe her and those like her a great debt.

	BBC NEWS UK Anne Robinson: TV's rudest woman?

		But the child was less than a year old when the marriage broke down, and Anne Robinson began propping up the bars of Fleet Street as she descended into alcoholism.

	Saga Magazine - Anne Robinson
		In fact, so similar is Anne Robinson to her mother that one can see how writing her autobiography was a good if not vital alternative to spending a lot of time with the men in grey shoes.
		Certainly Robinson’s mother was a top haggler, a queen of the deal, and has passed on these skills to her daughter, who famously managed to extract a huge Mercedes out of the mean and monstrous Robert Maxwell.
		Robinson’s own list includes Enid Blyton, “because she taught me to read and read and read”, Jane Austen, “just because I love her work”, Norman Mailer, “because he’s clever and sexy”, Elizabeth I (feel the power) and Sister Rosemary Alexander, who was Mother Superior at the convent where Robinson was educated.

		Anne Robinson's most recent public persona--the hardened battleaxe of television's The Weakest Link--is but a very small part of this quizmistress; Memoirs Of An Unfit Mother will most likely change your perceptions of the star.

	The Observer Review Observer review: Memoirs of an Unfit Mother by Anne Robinson
		Just as there is not just one 'Anne Robinson' in this book but several, all vying simultaneously for our sympathy and vilification, there is not just one 'unfit' mother featured in this book but two.
		Robinson is similarly unforgivable when describing her second husband, now manager, John Penrose: 'Girl friends observed with some envy that Penrose came just as soon as I whistled, however badly I behaved,' she smirks.
		When Robinson lost custody of Emma, she found herself confined to the parental fringes, a cold, scary world of weekend access, separation anxiety (a 'living bereavement') and guilt-ridden, long, dark nights of the soul.
