Have to say I find Rob McElwee on various BBC channels streets ahead of other presenters. He's never less than informative, insightful and concise...loved the bit earlier about how the cold tingles on the face at temperatures of -10 degrees. Any other presenters impress too?

It's a bit odd, but my wife and I always used to joke about Carol Kirkwood. It's progressed so far that we have built up this alternate, off-screen life for her where she exists as some sort of Truck stop cum bucket. Where she rocks up for work each day looking like a plasters radio.

I used to like Philip Eden. He still writes very informative pieces for The Telegraph.

In Carol's alternative reality, does she go by the name of Sian Lloyd?

SO this means I'm not weird then (got called that the other day by a couple of girls when I said Ms Tobin was worth a go...)

Hate to break it to you all but according to wiki she's engaged as of 16th Dec. We missed the boat...

Anyway

Who's the bloke with the Dracula thing going on on BBC. He's brilliant. Something along the lines of "And you thought today was bad; wait for tomorrow, Mwahahahah". No idea what's going to be bad but you know it's going to be!!!

Or Jeremy Paxman, "It's April, what do you expect!"

I can't believe Laura Tobin only gets a mention in post #2. You guys really are slacking!

Look North weather girls are the best...

Lisa Gallagher - pretty slim blonde



Keeley Donovan - pretty slim brunette



Sarah Cruddas - good looking curvy blonde!



...AND THE NORKS!!!!

I thought this was a thread on BEST TV weather forecaster - not best looking weather girl!

Still - it is The Lounge I suppose.

McElwee seems to relish the 'harbinger of doom' role.

Whatever she wears she manages to make it look frumpy.


Oh, and Cruddas cloud9

Rob McElwee is hilarious. His dramatic pauses, facial expressions and random non-sequiturs are comedy gold. thumbup

He is good, no one presents the weather quite like Rob!

As for best looking, has to be Wendy Hurrell on BBC London for me lick
