To mark the TV50 year, RTÉ launches ‘A Little Bit TV’, a series of eight profiles of well-known and much loved Irish television presenters.
Programme 7: Theresa Lowe
During the 1990’s Teresa Lowe was queen of RTÉ quiz shows. Following a period in radio and in TV continuity, she took over from Marty Whelan on Where in the World. For the next seven years Teresa brought glamour and energy to Sundays nights – and to an entertainment preserve that was almost exclusively male.
While presenting Where in the World, Theresa was studying law and was called to the bar in 1997. She has been a practicing barrister now for fourteen years. Theresa is married to Frank McNamara, formerly of the ‘Late Late Show’, and they have four children.
