Barely? You're being too kind.

They're all no doubt very talented individuals - it's the format that's
wrong. Sky's Francis Wilson is able to better explain the weather in a
fraction of the time by explaining the air mass type/origin and the trend
using IR/visible satellite loops.

Poor Dan Corbett and others' main remit is to tell us if it's a "chilly old
start" in that south east corner, plug the latest 5 live sports coverage and
say "go online for more" when we're all sat in our armchairs.

I've got a computer plugged into my TV so I don't have to get out of my
armchair. ;-)
