My research for "The weather and psychology" is almost complete.
Google is letting me down though.
1. I am sure that at some point on BBC they got a number of then
famous weather forecasters together and got them to perform "Singing
in the rain" with umbrellas. A Christmas Morecambe and Wise show is
the obvious outlet, but I can't find any record of it. Can anyone
help?
The BBC weather girls (Helen Willetts etc) did something, on Children
in Need I think, but I can't find it.
All I can locate is the following

2. My knowledge of television forecasters and presenters is very
Britishocentric. There must be equally if not more famous forecasters
across the world, or is the adoration of the forecasters a British
phenomenon?
3. I also have a dim memory that at various times various other
countries have used novelty formats for forecasts - girls in bikini,
talking donkeys, that sort of thing. Am I just making it up, or is
"today the weather will be scorchio" influencing me too much?
Try this one!
