BBC World wasn't on UK TV at any point today, it was a generic BBC News service which looked more like News 24 on World than vica versa.

Here are a few more caps of how STV's Scotland Today covered the BBC strikes across Scotland.

Tim Bishop - head of BBC East - is presenting Look East!


And he's dreadful.

Just goes to show that the BBC has far too many over-paid managers, and it's these people that should be sacked from the BBC. The BBC has more suits than talent, and as we have seen today which is very clear - the suits have no talent, and it amazes me how they are in the high positions that they occupy.


Grrrr... this type of comment always really annoys me. Organisations... particularly large ones, need people with a whole range of 'talents', it isn't a foregone conclusion that someone exceptional working onscreen is a capable manager. The BBC needs managers... not too many admittedly... but it is just plain stupid to criticise someone who is a manager and standing-in for not being talented enough... you don't know how talented they are because you aren't seeing them managing... you are seeing them presenting... doing a different job... the two are different roles! The BBC should keep talented presenters on screen and talented managers managing.

Slightly off topic, but the same goes for education and hospitals.. why do we assume that a teacher-manager or doctor-manager is a better manager than a manager-manager (if you see what I mean!). Yes, managers do need real-world 'back to the floor' experience, but you shouldn't judge a BBC manager's contribution to the corporation based on their ability to stand in as a presenter.

I'm not saying that I agree/disagree with the strike, but I get fed up with many peoples' assumptions that 'managers are bad, uneccessary beings'.

(P.S. -Yes... I am a manager....!)


There seems to be a manager for everthing now at the BBC. There's probably a manager of manager of managers.

Which one are you? Manager of stroppy postings on the Internet?

I agree, it looks more like ENPS. More interesting to me is the massive NEWS 24 logo on the glass to the left of the frame. Looks rather snazzy..

How is his post stroppy? He's only arguing his point. I think you are the stroppier.

Won't they just be returning as if to start at Midnight?


No People won't be entering the buildings until 0001


So, does that mean that Stephen will be doing the midnight hour as well? I'm guessing they are hardly going to have the regular staff all dressed and in their make-up ready to take the 'hot seat' at 0001.

After all they don't work the shift we see them on-screen, they've started hours earlier in order to prepare etc. Yes?
