The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

Sounds the same as Meridian South & South East. They had pan-regional bulletins today, with Meridian West having their own bulletin.

New Meridian, BBC South & South East Thread

Meridian South & South East was pan-regional today, with Amanda Piper in front of Brighton's Palace Pier.

(Apologies for poor quality, but I captured it in full screen, but shrunk it down because I felt the normal size was too small)

In addition, a pan-regional forecast from Martyn Davies:

Meridian West had their own bulletin, but could this be a sign of things to come for weekend bulletins? Afterall, it was mentioned Meridian bulletins would go pan-reg when Meridian West & Central South merge.

Apologies for the size, but this is 75% of the original size. I managed to capture a Martyn Davies blooper from ITV Local (South East weather) last Thursday (20th), where he fluffed up and reset to retake. I hope it's of interest to some, especially the VT clock too!

I managed to find a clip of the Martyn Davies blooper on YouTube if anyone was interested to see it. It's quite funny to see these weather folk react when things go wrong.

John Suchet and Kirsty Young to host Five News alternately

IMO John Suchet is one of the best newscasters ever, and I think it'll be great, especially seen as John'll be staying on-screen. Can't wait to see how they get on. Smile

Mike Powell will be taking over in a week or two until she starts in October.

That'll be cool to see Mike Powell back on BBC South. I watched him regularly on BBC Points West during Breakfast but I haven't seen him on there for AGES! I had to wonder whether Mr Powell'd consider a return, even if it's temporarily. Smile

Another Meridian Weather blooper storyboard for you. This time the culprit's Rockin' Robin Lermitte (Debbie Thrower's words, not mine!). Again I found this on ITV Local and the look on poor Robin's face does seem to show some disappointment.

He seems to be pointing the clicker as if it's a remote control. I don't think any of the other regions have that kind of clicker eh?

In other South news, as I guess it was already mentioned, Andy Craig has left Meridian West. I'm sorry to see him go because from the times I've watched Meridian Tonight (West) he has been a fab presenter. I wish him the best of luck.

Seán Batty's reign as BBC South's weather presenter seems to be over. I don't know if she's Alina Jenkins' permanent replacement but we now have Laura Gilchrist as the presenter. I read she's from Chichester, so wonder if that's significant.

EXCLUSIVE: Central News South to Close

That is sad about Andy leaving, because (correct me if I'm wrong) Andy's been at Meridian since they took over from TVS (in 1993). It's definately an end of an era as far as the Meridian West team go. Sad

Jon Mitchell's back yep. Smile Those weather charts never animate without him around! lol Loved seeing him on the steam engine the other night.

I'm guessing Duncan's on his hols at the mo. John and Gaynor have done a good job at the helm this week so kudos to them. Very Happy
