On the tv programme Bremner, Bird and Fortune, there is often a sketch based on
a weather person from sky tv.
It is one of my favourite sketches and the hallowe'en episode was especially
funny to me.

I do not see sky tv so do not know who the real person is.

Someone here will know and can send a link perhaps to some information?

I would wager, without seeing the said sketch, that it was Francis
"winker" Wilson.

Since joining Sky, Francis has won the coveted title of Best
Television Weather Presenter - Worldwide at the International
Television Weather Forecasters Festival in 1995, 1997, 2000 and 2003.

IIRC the satellite stuff was all the same colour for certain weather
patterns when it first came out, prompting me to see green and saying
so in the days when I was green enough to use the BBC's weather board.

Needles to say it was removed by whatever prick of the day was
moderator.

So, as he was a prize winner or whatever the accolade entailed, was he
also capable of presenting sea surface pressure charts, or was that
not included in the little pot of presentability?

Thanks to all who replied.
To avoid picking one out, I replied to self (not so uncommon).

Thanks again.

Your post prompted me to tune into BB&F for the first time in quite a
while but it's not changed my opinion that they're at their funniest
when Bremner is NOT doing politicians.

I recall a sketch several years ago when Bird & Fortune were doing
spoof interview with the Chairman of the Channel Tunnel:

"You're losing a huge amount of money" says the Interviewer.

Chairman: "Yes, but it's alright, we're a Public Service".

Interviewer: "But how can the Banks keep backing you? Do you know how
much you currently owe?"

Chairman: "Not really, but I'm sure it's all perfectly
manageable".

Interviewer: "Have the Banks not written to you about it?"

Chairman: "Well, yes, they've sent several letters over the past few
months".

Interviewer: "What do they say?"

Chairman: "I don't know. They're all still behind the clock on the
mantlepiece"


I sometimes feel like that with the Inland Revenue's tax demands -
they might have been delivered through my door, but they're not bad
news unless I open them.
