Default New BBC graphics

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.
