(TV Guide magazine article - July 22nd 1989) As Croft's younger, equally long and brown sister Louisa waits inside the foyer of Croft's PR offices, this 23-year-old ex-racket-bearing, ex-Treasure Hunting millionaire's daughter perches on her seat, giggles self-consciously and says that Interceptor is good because there's never been anything like it on TV before. "It's all boring sort of money programmes or Come On Down," Croft says of current TV. "They're very popular programmes, but this is something totally way-out.

The helicopter goes really close; well, not too close , but it looks really close," Croft says. "It's so funny," she gallops on, "seeing people that just live...You know, they work normally in an office or something. They they get out there in front of the cameras and they have such fun. You can really see it on their faces!" That nice girl Croft, of course, is even more fortunate than those lucky souls who have been transported from their hum-drum lives to pant their way through hour-long editions of Interceptor. At 15, she became the youngest Briton in 96 years to grace the Wimbledon courts.
