Just watched 'em - they're as bad as everyone says. In fact I'd
say idiotic. They seem to have gone for the 8-12 age range except that any earnest young kid of that age would learn nothing about the weather whatsoever from this Disneyfication of the forecasts. What's wrong with a map, for goodness' sake? How can a perspective 3D presentation help? All areas outside the immediate UK are excluded so how can the weather be put in any context and how can this possibly help the public understanding of weather forecasts? The BBC airheads (and I don't mean weather enthusiasts) ought to be ashamed of themselves for this cretinous nonsense and should try and grow up. It is pure technological gimmickry for its own sake. It adds nothing and subtracts quite a lot. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |
