Default BBC Graphics - a new hope!

There is - unfortunately I missed the South Today forecast but in the
most recent News 24 forecast, Darren Bett showed the NW Atlantic way
beyond the confines of the British Isles, and included a wind field
(animated wind arrows). The arrows were far too small in the North,
because of the weird map perspective used, but that can be fixed and
it shows the presenters are able and willing to try new things and
tweak the implementation.

I hope that one by one, some of the best bits of the old system will
creep back in - rainfall radar sequences and perhaps even a NW
Atlantic pressure chart at the start. I'm sure the brown background
will change, too... given time.


Erm... I meant NE Atlantic. And the wind field was gone again on the
latest forecast... hopefully he's fixing it!
