Doctor?

Can someone provide information as to how, when and if Sue Baker became a doctor as stated above her picture? A quick search of the internet does not provide any evidence for this but does yield other Sue Barker's who are Doctors. Her bbc biography pages also do not mention anything. Athosfolk (talk) 13:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC) Sue Barker was awarded an honorary LLD by the University of Exeter in 2006. It is not considered the done thing though to use any pre-nominal title or post nominal letters conferred by a honorary degree. (86.129.178.20 (talk) 23:06, 19 October 2013 (UTC))

HPB

Is it worth mentioning something about her involvement with HPB? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukes123 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Middle name?

Several recent editions of the Wimbledon Compendium give her full name as "Susan Dorothy Barker". However I was once present at a Question of Sport rehearsal at which she was casually asked about her middle name, and she got quite animated and denied she had one at all. The London Gazette, in announcing her OBE, styles her just "Susan Barker".

Does anyone know for sure? The Compendium is an official AELTC production, so it's hard to imagine them just making it up ...

Question of Sport major shake-up

Just saw this: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/sue-barker-matt-dawson-phil-22673606 and this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54135771

Can someone add this to A Question of Sport, Sue Barker and 2020 in British television wiki pages? That would be much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.56.206 (talk) 06:48, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Too much personal info?

Do we really need to read so much about Sir Cliff Richard's reluctance to marry? Do we need to know that Ms Barker was once touched inappropriately by a lesbian in a changing room? A bit too much personal information here for an encyclopedia here, more like a tabloid newspaper.Dean1954 (talk) 17:58, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Especially as Richards went on to live with a man. What is reported is certainly not true as to the reasons they separated. Rustygecko (talk) 16:31, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Death misreported

Some edits have been made that state Sue Barker has died. They are unsupported by citations and not correct. Apparently there may have been confusion with Sue Baker, the late presenter of Top Gear, who died on 14th November 2022. Surely if Ms Barker dies any edits will be supported by verifiable sources. 2600:1700:EA01:1090:70D5:89FB:86C9:6DF2 (talk) 11:36, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
