I see this website as very much a shop window for 5 live and everything that's going on here. Presenters are a vital part of the station - crucial in defining the character of 5 live, able to inform and entertain as well as holding it all together when the unexpected happens. So we wanted to find a way of telling you more about our presenters through the site - not just basic biographical information or some timeless trivia but something which captures the essence of each individual.
We've made these presenter videos which give each person a chance to tell you more about themselves in their own unique style. We wanted them to be fun and personal - the kind of thing you might want to watch more than once and get other people to have a look at as well so feel free to share the links. We've made 15 so far so not everyone is there but there's a good chance your favourite presenters will be. So do take a look and tell us what you think.

- The videos were made using an interesting technique which involved the presenters 'wearing' a video camera as they walked and talked. They were made by an independent agency called . Later this week, Pete Owen, the agency's creative, will tell us more about the process.
- This preview video combines clips from Mayo and Kermode, John Pienaar and Mark Pougatch. The videos will be available on the 5 live web site tomorrow. Look in the Programmes section for the others.

fancy running a family that way.

in bloomers. That said her questions are well considered..
Gabby sometimes sounds as if she is interviewing a royal nanny. But she is the master or do I mean mistress of brief question or comment. Nobody does it like Gabby.
(sorry, Kenny.)
