Lawrence , you should expect it. The BBC are a different ball game now.
And
a bad one at that in my opinion.
Thank god for SKY. Gimme some Americanisation anyday to break free the BBC

Have you watched Francis on Sky recently? I don't think so.

Yesterday evening, their new superduper BBC-chasing 3D graphics were
in their element as he swooped around the country at 100,000 miles an
hour and a magnification of about 10 times. As he did so, he
mentioned all the rain expected over NW Britain and Ireland. Fine so
far... then he added that there would be a few showers over England.
But what did we get as he zooomed southwards? Graphics of continuous
pouring rain all over the screen and all over the South of England
(nothing like how you'd expect a shower representation to look!) -
apparently contradicting what he kept saying about the "odd shower".

When oh when will they learn... all of them have now caught the stupid
graphics bug, it seems.


Dave, I've given up with TV weather forecasts almost completely, unless I see
them by accident. Almost because I still think the Regional ones are still
useful, like David Braine who is superb IMO. Don't watch them is my advice and
tell the BBC/ITV/SKY why you've stopped watching them. I tell everyone I meet
now to use the InterNet if they can for weather information.

Will.
