Thought it would be interesting to start a thread where people who have taken a day off work can post any unusual or interesting tv related side effects of the snow for those of us who are going in to work and can't watch ourselves.

Presenters stuck in snow?
OBs involving snow balls being thrown?
Guests not able to get to the studio?

I'll start off by noting that there is only about 6 or 7 people in The Wright Stuff audience this morning, including Gail Porter's daughter whose school is closed. Matthew Wright has also said that the crew are job swapping/sharing with the autocue person being on cameras and the 'man who talks in my ear' doing autocue.


BTW, I know us Southerners make a fuss when there is a bit of snow and I know not all of the country even have snow today but with most TV production coming from the South East, I thought it would be an interesting thread anyway.

The Wright Stuff on Five had their usual on-screen crew, just. But in the audience there must have only been about 8 people who turned up. But Matthew himself said that alot of the roles off screen had to be swapped as many didn't show up. It certainately felt strange watching it this morning.

This Morning's credits could be interesting if they've got members of the crew doing multiple jobs!

More information needed, please.

Surely the person who holds the job title 'bloke who writes the credits' would be one of the first to be transfered to a more important role in this situation though.

QVC is currently showing a repeat. I don't know if the live show is affected by the weather.

Why would you need more information? He can't get to work like a lot of people.

Not to mention a slightly different line-up today. I'm assuming that's down to the weather. Also Working Lunch is being presented by Declan alone.
