I watched Jon Mitchell do the forecast for Yorkshire and the East

synoptic chart, gave his explanations clearly and lucidly, and showed
a map of the region from directly above. A model presentation. He
didn't find it necessary to front the programme from the roof of the
building either.

I don't think I'll bother with the BBC anymore.

As much as I don't like the local ITV news, I'm tempted to watch it in
future cos I caught part of Jon Mitchell's forecast, by accident rather than
design. But it told me what I need to know and thats all you can ask.

How do they indicate speed? The web uses different sized arrows but
that won't work in the 3d view will it...

The arrows were animated - they moved! It looked like a first attempt
to do it, to me - only partially successful. I'm sure they'll try
again though and it makes me wonder what other things they can do with
the new system - probably more than we think, when they've learned all
the ins and outs of it. We can but live in hope.
