Presenters

"Si usted no me puede ver en Thomas Cook televisión eso significa que estoy en mi finca en España".. This means: 'If you don't see me on Thomas Cook TV I'll be at my villa in Spain.' And that's where you'll find Kevin when he's taking a break from his very busy life.

First up, he's big with the kids. The presenter of Blues Clues on Nickelodeon and Channel 4, his trip to Disneyland Resort Paris for Thomas Cook TV meant lots of autographs.

He also presents travel features for Holiday on BBC 1 and can be heard on the radio BBC7. And of course he's the head honcho for Spanish on BBC learning.

Kevin has a background on stage and spent years running rings around everyone else. He played Rocky 1 in Starlight Express. 'En sus patines compañero' (On yer skates, Mate).

"They finally decided I had behaved well enough to be let out of the studio,' says Rachel. "And they sent me to Cyprus for Thomas Cook TV.

"It was great. But remembering what to say while riding a jet ski takes a bit of concentration."

Rachel is also the face of Channel Five's Memorybank and has hosted Brainteaser along with regular appearances on Sky Interactive.

When she's not presenting, she's writing for corporate and print projects, and when she's not riding a jet ski she's trying to avoid parking fines in her MX5.

Mark has been with the Thomas Cook TV since the early days and enjoys working alongside his old pals of Sally Meen and Ruth Langsford.  He began his TV career back in 1969 as a regular performer in Yorkshire TV's 'Junior Showtime' and stayed for six years.  This led to him being cast as The Producer in Alan Parker's classic film 'Bugsy Malone'.  Following on from this he became a regular presenter on BBC children's programmes  including 'Blue Peter'.

Presenting for Thomas Cook TV is an ideal job for Mark as he adores travel and is particularly fond of  Spain and everything Spanish. Mark says "I like to spend as much time there as possible, I love the weather, the people, the food". He's recently bought a villa on the Costa Del Sol and jets off whenever his tv and radio

As a traveller Kim has a great sense of direction. Anywhere in the world she can sniff out the nearest handbag shop with the nose of a shopping professional.

But before she spends it, Kim has to earn it, and that's why Kim has made her hobby her career. She has been involved in series such as a Taste For Travel and Travellers Check, and has recent producer credits on shows like 60 Minute Makeover.

Kim's work has taken her to Thailand, Egypt, India, America and Greece. For Thomas Cook TV she has reported from the Dominican Republic, Turkey and Gran Canaria.

"After a few days on the sun-lounger," says Kim. "The best exercise you can get is a bit of haggling over the price of a pair of shoes."

"Shopping is triple the fun when you know you've just got a bargain."

"My best travel tip is that you should take this thing called a passport," says Sally wisely.

"I have missed six flights in all through leaving it at home.

"It's can be a bit embarrassing really."

To be fair Sally offers her Thomas Cook TV audience weightier advice than that. She is widely travelled both professionally and privately, and has advice in other areas.

Such as interior design - she has been seen on ITV's 60 Minute Makeover, Five's Home Values and the BBC's Real Rooms.

And of course food. Her catering training has come in handy when she presented Food Network Daily, Chocolate Covered and Good Food Live.

On screen she goes about her job with signature gusto, and when she gets home she doesn't let up. Sally has bought and restored seven homes.

Ruth has been with Thomas Cook TV for the past couple years although her television career started at ITV in her native Westcountry twenty five years ago where she presented evening news programme. From there she moved into national television and has fronted programmes for BBC1, BBC2, ITV and various satellite channels.

She currently co-presents ITV1's flagship daytime programme 'This Morning' every Friday and often teams up with her real-life partner Eamonn Holmes on the show. Ruth is also a regular host on ITV 1's lively, all female debate show 'Loose Women'.

Ruth and Eamonn live in Surrey with their five year old son Jack.

When she's not working Ruth likes to play with Jack (Star Wars mostly!) and enjoys gardening, cooking, going to the cinema and eating chocolate!
