Default Alina Jenkins' roller-coaster weather forecast!

On Thursday evening, BBC South Today got poor ol' Alina Jenkins to
broadcast the World's first ever weather forecast "live" from a
fairground roller-coaster!

Now, Alina is my favourite of all current weather presenters - she was
for example one of the very first to get the hang of presenting
isobar/frontal charts in the BBC's new graphics system - but I
generally HATE gimmicky forecasting. So it was going to be interesting
to see whether I'd love or hate THIS forecast!

Well as it turned out, I loved the fun of it more than I hated the
gimmick - for this one time only! I think it's well worth a look at
the video they've put up on the BBC South website - so if you're
interested, here it is (the web page with the story and a video link
at the foot of the page).

Enjoy!
