The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

How will having to sign up to read solve the problem?

New BBC English Regions Controller.

But why? After 2 years of having no correction with Central hes back!! Not that I am complaining - he belongs with Central!

He and Bob ARE C E N T R A L

Who knows. With Thames Valley Tonight soon to disappear, maybe he'll be returning to his roots in Birmingham?

Oh lets hope so - where he is actually appreiated!

I don't know for sure; you may want to email the site's administrator, Si. I get the impression it's to (ostensibly) weed out automated spammers and/or to dissuade trolls from posting.

As for Wesley one could argue that half of the Thames Valley coverage area is under Central jurisdiction, for the what remains of Central regional programming. I don't know if he's appeared in those programmes recently though?

He left Central Lobby after it's first series whilst Central South was still going on. Since then the only Central connection is with Alex Forrest who appears in Extra Tonight and The Lobby.

What ever happened to the BBC regions using VizRT in a 2007 roll out?

What no mention of Uncle Ed of WM helping out with the Dad's Army restoration?

Bit of WM news now.

Mollie's final show for the year tomorrow. (I believe Tom Manners is covering Earlies)

The Ed Doolan Xmas Show from Symphony Hall is on Friday, then it's the Les Ross train trip to Manchester on Saturday.

Anyone spotted this ? :

Goodness me the presenting rota on Central West at the moment since Jo's departure and Bob's absence. Lucy Kite today seemed to have switched to Central East leaving Gareth Owen and Annette Finch. Its just a mish mash at the moment but Wesley was superb last week.

has llewella left Central yet? also when does charlie and emma leave?

i also assume yvonne gaskill has gone too.
