The BBC do seem to be struggling this evening with an overwhelming amount of technical problems. I can't help but think if this was 2/3 weeks earlier it would have coincided with the move and could have been even more up in the air.

Let me let you into a secret Worzy, someone used to sneak around behind those screens every night and pull them apart, just to annoy you!

Don't be silly. Anyway my complaint was always the screens not matching and the gash in the screen behind the 2 presenter shot at the 2008 relaunch... Not about the gaps in general.

I'm not happy with the news agenda of the News Channel today. Leading heavily on Thatcher's funeral arrangements, with Amwillywalla outside parliament, stood on his box (literally) presenting live.

Yes, big story, etc etc blah blah.

But, the continual updates on who will be attending Thatcher's funeral simply isn't the biggest story at the moment. We have the corned beef food scare, and ofcourse the daddy of all stories at the moment, that of the possible imminent launch of nuclear rockets by North Korea.

For the record, Sky pulled away from Thatcher at 1206. The NC carried on. And on.

North Korea isn't going to blow up the UK, so no need to worry about that, We've probably been eating horsemeat for years and not realised, so in theory what else have the NC got to go on?

And while I'm at it, surely I can't be the only one who thinks Ben Brown is a totally hopeless newsreader, who has stunted delivery, and looks totally out of his depth.
