In BBC Two’s British newsroom 1950s drama ‘The Hour’, the up and coming news anchor Hector asks his colleague Freddie how it is that he always asks such good questions. “It’s because I am not afraid of the answers,” Freddie responds. It is a quote that has stuck with me and of which I was recently reminded by one of my colleagues who always seems to know how to get into the heart of the issue by asking questions. How? She is not afraid of the answers.
