Why is it brave to fancy an attractive, intelligent woman who has an erudite father, a cool brother and a successful poker-playing career?

Not sure about the dim bit, she's an Oxford graduate! Came across very well when she presented "Balderdash and Piffle" a few years back.

Fit, but Attitude Central, IMO. You'd only ever do it when, where and how she wanted, and you'd stop the instant she told you to.

Ok perhaps dim was the wrong word. Also to be fair to her it was the American comedian who was making fun of her. She had no combacks. She also didnt seem to get the jokes.

SHe was quite good on HIGNFY tonight

She's got a nice pair. I'd give her four of a kind, possibly in a full house; we would both be royally flushed. Aces high, or something. No, I've definitely run out of st poker analogies.

But yes, she is a honey in a slightly jolly hockey sticks way.

Wikipedia said:
Her other books include Love 16 and Once More, with Feeling, about her attempt (with co-author Charlie Skelton) to make the best hard-core porn movie ever. This came off the back of their jobs reviewing porn films for the Erotic Review - a job which led them to believe that most of what they were watching was terrible and that they could make better films themselves.
I'd say she has "High Dirt Factor" too...

I think she'd be up for a game of poker face.

She doesn't know how much a 'Y' is worth in Scrabble though, despite making a point of Alexander Arsmtrong (i.e. the script) being wrong to say 'July' was 42 on a triple word score.

I'm not saying that makes her any less delicious to me or anything. Look for an episode of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe on Youtube that includes 'A History of Corners'. Victoria Coren does a rather funny little spoof BBC4 programme in it.
