📘 Sean Murphy

Read the article and answer the questions.

Sean Murphy reads the late news on British television at 11 o'clock each evening.

"This is a good time for a news programme because we can report the early news from America and the late news from Europe. I still arrive home before midnight because the journey from the Television Centre to my home in north London only takes six minutes. My family are all asleep when I get in, but I usually make a drink of hot milk and read a book for about an hour.

I always get up have breakfast with my children before they catch the school bus. Then I take the newspapers and go back to bed for a short time. Later on, I go for a swim - newsreaders spend too much time sitting down! Sometimes I go running. I've done the London Marathon twice. That's a race of over 40 kilometres. I finished each time, but I wasn't among the first.

I start work after lunch at two o'clock, when I go to my office. The rest of the day is spent planning the programme, but I always try to go home for an hour to see my children before they go to bed."
