Well, the usual build up to another dissapointing feature. I recorded
that part of the half hour programme that lasted 9 minutes, which
apart from some comments from Jim Bacon and Peter Gibbs lacked in
substance.

Maybe it's just me, but I find that TV try to over dramatise the whole
event, with blurring pictures and wosshing noises, yet never try to
put some meat on the bone, in the form of technical explantion. Surely
from the various weather logs from 27th November 1703 some sort of
sypnotic picture could have been constructed. Peter Gibbs did try to
make some comparison with 16th October 1987, and we got a blurry
forecast from the resident BBC East presenter (appoligies for not
remebering her name).

So often with programmes such as 999, Raging Planet and others, the
emphasis is on effects and not enough attention to the detail on the
technical side of things.

Great shame
