| Sue Lawley (born July 14, 1946) is an English broadcaster. She has presented Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 since 1988. Born in Sedgley, England and was brought up in the Black Country, she graduated in Languages from the University of Bristol and some time later started at the BBC in Plymouth. In 1972, she became well-known as one of the presenters of the BBC TV's news magazine Nationwide in the 1970s until the show came to a close in 1983. She has been a newsreader on radio and TV, in particular, the BBC's Six O'Clock News. During a 1988 broadcast, the studio was stormed by protesting lesbians; Lawley continued to read the news whilst co-presenter Nicholas Witchell sat on one of them. Her second marriage was in 1987, was to a television executive. It is often rumoured that Sting (the pop singer Gordon Sumner) had a crush on Sue Lawley, because his vocals on the 1980 The Police hit "So Lonely" sounded like "Sue Lawley" (see mondegreen). There reputedly exists an audio recording of her in flagrente with a sound technician which influenced the character Sally Smedley in Drop the Dead Donkey (who had a predilection for truck drivers).
