Default Jim Bacon showed isobars on BBC East tonight :-)

Good old Jim Bacon checked over his shoulder to check nobody was
watching then preceded to show an Atlantic Isobar animation for the next
three days, no fronts, buts it's a start. If you read this Jim, Thanks.

Yes, spotted here too. Didn't notice my green tinge either ... must have
been the angle I was looking at the screen yesterday. Shame ...
it looked good!

It seems that many of the regional presenters are standing up for
themselves. Come to think of it, many of the experienced,
common-sense presenters are now to be found on the regions
(or on radio!); there are really not all that many left on national TV.

Damn! I missed it! If I'd seen it I'd have sent in a thank you email!

"Danny Boy" on Radio 4 mentioned a front. Now that's a step in the right
direction.

DC is almost listenable on the radio. I'm quite sure he understands the
weather but not how to present it on TV.

Is there a 'fear' culture in the BBC ? I get this feeling that everyone
close to "Stavros" at Shepards Bush is scared to speak up. I can not
believe that the BBC weather presenters are happy with the situation but
have been 'gagged' somewhat, I do not blame them at all for this
charade. Time for a revolution in this Country I think.

I'll go along with all that. Not as bad on radio as many people
think, considering the time constraints. All he needs to do now is to
talk naturally and stop trying to sound "posh" because there are always
a number of giveaways to anyone with an ear.
