Quote:Sue Baker, one of the early presenters on long-running BBC motoring show Top Gear, has died at the age of 75.
The presenter and journalist, who had motor neurone disease (MND), died on Monday, her family said.
Baker joined Top Gear in 1980, three years after its launch, and appeared in more than 100 episodes.

Yes, I wonder how many other people made that mistake. It looks like in her later years they even looked a bit like each other.

That's very sad news. I don't remember her on the show as she was presenting it before I was born. Although she had left a remarkable legacy of motoring journalism behind her. For many people to say that she was a pioneer in motoring journalism in her time. It is quite a feat for someone who is from her generation.
Rest in Peace.
