The silly girlies on Sky are equally bad, unfortunately. We abandoned
the BBC Breakfast programme sometime ago in favour of Sky, which is far
from perfect, what with the inane ads, but it is nowhere near as dumbed
down as the Blue Peter equivalent on the BBC. As well as being a bit
daft, the ladies on Sky have to do a lot of walking about, because their
background map appears to be huge.

Sky's weather map is absolutely terrible, even worse than the BBC's, in
that it has far too little contrast. It's extremely hard to tell what's
rain and what's cloud, and even where the land/sea boundary might be. (In
days of yore, the BBC satellite picture would have the coastline picked
out: Sky would benefit from that.) I really only watch the Sky weather
for the comedy value when Francis Wilson's on: if you've never seen Rory
Bremner's takeoff of him, you've missed a treat. I'm sure it's on YouTube.
