BBC Evening weather forecast....

[Nom de ploom]

does it actually include a forecast, and i feel like i need subtitiles for Rob Mcelwee.

jaysus, he's getting as mad / bad as mackaskill ("Hullo").

and sorry to rant, but why do they insist on tellign us what the weather was like today? i know what is was like, i was there, and if I wasn't i wouldn't care!

and why oh why is the wether sponsored???? Npower, brining you electricity "whatever the weather", like we should be pleased we can turn the lights on when the weathers' a bit iffy. fatuous barstads, we do pay for it you know.

rant over, thanks

Agreed.

I often think they are just trying to fill in 40 seconds of air time by explaining what the weather was like earlier today. I quite often shout - the word "Forecast" is a clue as to what you are meant to be doing.....

If the chap you are referring to is the rather deadpan presenter with a unique way of delivering the weather forecast (the one who did the forecast after the News at 10 last night), then i quite like him.

Is he the guy who ends his presentation by winking and pointing at the camera and saying "and that's the weather"?

This seems to be how they do it at the moment:

1) A long time talking about today
2) A long time talking about what will happen at 5am (when nobody will know if it did happen or not, and nobody cares)
3) A time talling us what its like in the Scottish highlands (a long time if its Carol Kirkwood)
4) the last 10 seconds telling the rest of the country what today and tommorow will be like*
5) A photo of the weather that someone has sent in. These photos are never of 5am, strangely.

• But only at 5am tommorow morning

Des Coleman does it for me these days. Snappy dresser, cuts through the bullst, cheesy (deliberate) style and you just get the feeling he wants to make love to all the ladies afterwards. He's a breath of fresh air.

Kirkwoooooooooed needs putting out to pasture.

Rob Mcelwee is alright, he assumes you know something about the weather and therefore has a nod and a wink to the viewer when somethings about to happen.

He's the best one on it, what with his hand gestures etc.
