One of the MT 'reporters' was Matthew Gull, normally on the Inside Out WM production team.

This Wild Weather filler is going out in the nations too - would have though they would be able to show something more relevant.

Thank you 'm_in_m' and Steve. Wild Weather seems to be a regional programme?


I'm sure there was a slot a while back one evening for the English Regions. I believe Chris Bell from WeatherQuest presented the BBC East edition while he was covering for Julie Reigner.


That's right, Peter Cockroft presented the London edition and Kaddy Lee-Preston in the South East.

Is there Nations continuity?

Kaddy Lee-Preston presented SET with Michael Fish on weather duty.

I've seen earlier that Peter Dobbie has his own bulletin now on World News channel, but they may join in for the half-hour newscasts... mayber even NEWS AT 10.

I can't see any reason to think there wouldn't be.

EDIT: Yeah, they're all playing different trails at the moment.

Could the problem be finding filler content to fill the slot. It appears that Wild Weather is a 25 minute programme - presumably because it previously ran in the 1930 slot.

They might have at least run the appropriate Wild Weather show for each region. It was originally in the Monday 7.30pm slot a couple of months back.

I think it needed to then be edited down to fill 6.35pm - 6.56 or whatever pm the opt back is. Maybe each region couldn't do that task themselves, or just too risky
