Good points made here.

I also think the photogenic appearance is more of a thing for female academics. I don't doubt their ability obviously (because I know their academic backgrounds) but the majority of women who are "famous" TV history personalities are on the younger side and attractive, although you get people like Mary Beard so it's not all youthful all the time. Though Mary Beard has a very unorthodox style in that she'll swear and act like your mate on camera as opposed to being a really removed stuffy older type.

Having said all that my mum is the right generation to have fancied Michael Wood back in the day (and she admits she did) so I know male TV history presenters can be subjected to this sort of thing too. Also the fact that people like Dan Snow keep getting given shows that are definitely not related to anything he has any expertise in never mind even studied!
