As I understand it (and I've not been following it too closely) the bit of aeroplane is probably but not confirmed as being from MH370 and has been sent to France. The other stuff as I understand it is not from MH370.
"Here we are on the beach where the the bit of plane was found, but it's now in France about 200 miles from BBC HQ, and the other crap on the beach is.........well, just crap".
Quite. "Here we are on the beach where the the bit of plane was found, but it's now in France about 200 miles from BBC HQ, and the other crap on the beach is.........well, just crap".
Radio 4 have just had their very own corespondent on reunion.
She interviewed a mother and child who were hunting for more. Then the radio station on the island.
But the most important bit was this gem. One interviewee stated that the larger the coast line an island has the bigger the probability of things washing up on it.
Well f
k me. Seriously how anybody can defend the BBC spunking this money away for absolutely nothing is beyond me.

Are you saure it wasn't the TV reporter doing the interview. She was inteviewing the mother and child on the Breakfast news this morning.She interviewed a mother and child who were hunting for more. Then the radio station on the island.

The debris found has been taken to France to be identified if it is actually from MH370, that is where the story is.
Exactly so send one of the many reporters based in Calais for the summer to see if it was a chunk of the plane. We don't need to see pictures of it in situ on a beach.

See, I think they are waiting for the heavens to open, then they have the MMGW angle to report on too....

Could have been. That would have made sense to use only one team of people. I hope it was, no TV where I've been.Even with one spread across the BBC network it's too much. We learned nothing of value, nothing at all was added.
Edit yes I think it was. Watch @1:40 for the incredible insight of the ' oceanographer' and further info from this genious reporter, bigger islands may stand more chance.
No seriously watch it, not even fit for newsround who would think it was too dumbed down. In fact the whole piece is just nothing.

Can the BBC EVER do anything right EVER again?
IMO, they can, and they do.However, as they are effectively a public body, should they not be under the close scrutiny of those who pay for the service?
As always in these scenarios, there are some who feel that they can do no wrong, and some who are of the opinion they do nothing right. The vast majority fall somewhere in the huge spectrum in between, often the moderate's voices are quieter than those entrenched positions.

Well, if you're a fan of Wimbledon, Glastonbury, the Proms, Edinburgh Festival, Labour Leadership contests, UN panel on Climate Toss, the Olympics etc you do get pretty good coverage.It's just the other 99%+ of cultural stuffage that doesn't get a look in.
Carl Davies (former Royal Marine) was murdered on Reunion in 2011 but the Beeb didn't pop over to cover the murder trial. How many Brits were aboard this flight?
