Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted October 22, 2004 I came across a list of people supporting cancer charities, and she was on it. It turns out she has battled bowel cancer in the past. Alas, no news on whether she still battles on though. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted October 22, 2004 I seem to recall that she was given the all clear quite a few years ago now, so not one for the immediate future I wouldn't have thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stayin Alive 26 Posted October 23, 2004 Oh god, a good few years ago now. Back when she used to be on the stupid box, which really was quite some time ago. I seem to remember that both she and her husband recently came out in support of some celebrity or another - I cannot place who it was, although it might of been Anthea Turner - but not sure. I think she is well out of the Foulds-Woods now though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted October 25, 2004 She was also responsible for the best question ever asked on Shooting Stars: "Lynn Foulds-Wood; true of false?"....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted September 5, 2005 I came across a list of people supporting cancer charities, and she was on it. It turns out she has battled bowel cancer in the past. Alas, no news on whether she still battles on though. DWB Saw her yesterday in Hyde Park running for charity! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted December 8, 2006 I came across a list of people supporting cancer charities, and she was on it. It turns out she has battled bowel cancer in the past. Alas, no news on whether she still battles on though. DWB I saw her a few weeks back possibly August or September 2006 with Ester Ransen doing their 'Consumer' watchdog series on the beeb. She appeared as firey as ever! -Even when being attacked by one particularly ordourous conman she had put in the spotlight. Until we get real power via government we've only got the likes of these good people to help us. More power to them! tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted December 8, 2006 Until we get real power via government we've only got the likes of these good people to help us. Such a sentence makes me wonder who 'we' and 'us' are, exactly. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,208 Posted April 21, 2018 Yeah, the cancer survivor still rocks on, having turned down MBE in 2016 and showing off her favourite photo in the Express in January: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/908713/watchdog-presenter-lynn-faulds-wood-john-stapleton-BBC-journalists I was wondering if someone would be good enough to change the title to her correct name though - it's Lynn Faulds-Wood. Just so we can find her when...you know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus I knew there was a thread for her. Out of the blue, she was doing the BBC Papers reviews regularly up until recently. Maybe that's why she wasn't picked for the DDP.

Be bitter sweet if it was caused by Covid (evidence is it triggers strokes) or an ambulance took longer than usual due to it. Through with the worse strokes no treatment exists.

Yeah, like BBC radio news has fuck all to do with the BBC per se and, obviously, Lynn wouldn't have had any contacts whatsoever at the Beeb to pass on.... I actually wrote that as a tongue in cheek 'funny handshakes' bollocks thing. Mind you, nepotism and the BBC go hand in hand. Fucking hell, there are some utter dicks using this forum.
