I'm not sure I agree with your argument. Perhaps though looking at the whole meteorological industry might be a fairer comparison. But I still think the Beeb have too few female national weather presenters.
Has anyone noticed in the past few weeks that the different weather presenters have used different colours for the temperature circles and also different shades of blue for the ocean? As much as I like the new graphics, it would be much better if they all use the same variation of colours across the board.
The first thing that springs to mind is Ian live from the BBC Weather Centre after the great storm of 1987 on the One O'Clock News looking very stressed while being questioned over why The Met Office got it so wrong.
Great forecaster and one of the old guard of weather forecasting delivery which has been missed in recent years.
Why isn't he looking at the camera in that interview clip? bit odd
ISTR he'd been up all night, and TVC (along with all of Southern England) was probably in considerable disarray that day, missing staff, power supply problems etc etc. It's probably a small miracle the bulletin made it to air in the first place !
