Certainly a massive story and the coverage has been reflecting this. It was good to see Dan Corbett getting in on the action earlier on.

it'd be nice to think bbc midlands might do a special programme at some point - like they did for the worcester floods in 2001ish and like bbc north did earlier in the year.

BBC One has got a news special at 7.30pm.
I was down in Gloucester earlier and it was amazing how many people were down there (the general public). Nearly everything is closed and we have no running water. There were loads of TV crews as well with Jeremy Thompson being the main attraction on Sky News although George Alagiah, Dan Corbett, Jonathan Samuels and others were seen wandering around car parks...
Around the sky tent people kept shouting and trying to get into the tent that they had to tape it off.

Massive indeed. I didn't really watch much news over the weekend, and it was only this morning I realised the enormity of the story. Incredible when you think about it, and as we keep getting told - the worse is to come.

What regions actually cover the main effected area?
The area is around the 3 way split between BBC Midlands/West/South (Oxford opt) and ITV1 Central West/West/Thames Valley isn't it?

debatable really - editorially midlands today cover norther glos, usually sharing reports with points west. transmitter wise people in cheltenham and gloucester get pictures from ridge hill = bbc midlands
http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/ridgehill/map.shtml
as opposed to mendip = bbc west
http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/mendip/maps.shtml
also - thinking back - remember when gloucester rugby were in some sort of final against a club from the south west, bbc midlands, bbc west and bbc south west all opted out of grandstand to cover it.

I'm guessing we won't be seeing much of 'moon', 'surfers', or possibly even 'hippo' idents for a while as they all feature water (ident names taken from the BBC One clips page).
