How about Dr Sasha Norris:

Sasha Norris - Biologist, Writer, Broadcaster

Some serious brains, experience and expertise there, a degree in zoology, lecturer in ecology and environmental science at Oxford and she's already presented a number of TV wildlife shows. And if good looks are really important to the TV companies then she scores pretty high there too. Not that I notice such things of course!
