If you watch old news footage, you'll see Kate Adie in some of the most dangerous and volatile situations in the world. She risked her life to report - yet no Damehood? They are dished out to actresses and sportswomen willy-nilly, yet the Lara Croft of journalism hasn't received one. Why is this?

To have the Falklands Task Force chanting "There's only one Kate Adie" is worth a thousand damehoods in my opinion.

She got an OBE in 1993. Maybe she turned down the D.

Funny you should ask this question, I was wondering the other night what happened to her, I haven't saw her for years.
I agree with you, she certainly deserves a Dame-hood.
Have a star.

She's a reporter..it's her job and a very well paid one. No-one forced her to go..she has been quoted as saying that she enjoys the thrill of danger...why should she be awarded anything for that?

Its an interesting question that deserves a star or two.I don't know the answer though, maybe she has just been overlooked.
She certainly does deserve one though.

I don't know because if one journalist ever deserved one it's her! She was the best journalist ever and should have rewarded a long time ago!

Good point.
And I don't mean you Splodge - and anyhow, actresses are paid to act.

They sent her to the dangerous places to get rid of her, not to give her prezzies when she came back...
