Berlin began presenting in the early 1990s when she presented WildBunch on BBC One, and Cool Cube for BSkyB. She is best known for co-presenting Bad Influence! between 1992 and 1996, a video gaming series with Andy Crane on terrestrial television (ITV) at a time where Mega Drive, SNES and Game Boy products dominated the market.

She is also known for writing and hosting video gaming show Gamepad, which aired on the Bravo satellite channel between 2001 and 2004.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
